<p>I just checked and that is the same as my daughter’s school. I had to give them the insurance company name and policy number and request a waiver. They said they would review the policy and then would issue a waiver after the review. Two years in a row they have given the waiver. (knock on wood, do not want to tempt fate). </p>

<p>What the heck, give it a try. What have you got to loose?</p>

<p>You may have seen this already, but here are Penn’s current requirements for alternative health insurance coverage:</p>

<p>[Student</a> Health : SHS Insurance Compliance](<a href=“http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/shs/insurance.php]Student”>http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/shs/insurance.php)</p>

<p>I’m no expert, but I’d be surprised if these requirements were more demanding than those at most other schools.</p>

<p>There’s no comparison. UT is simply a decent / good state school in the eyes of most people outside Texas, but nothing more. MOWC is 100% right. There’s a big world outside Texas. You’re fortunate to be able to make this choice. Go to Penn.</p>

<p>As a UT grad, I would choose UPenn over UT for the majors you are describing. The only knock I have against UPenn is that south Philly is a horrible location and very unsafe.</p>

<p>Penn is in West Philly, not South Philly.</p>

<p>I’ve made my decision. And it’s Penn. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone so much for your advices! I am very happy and confident with my decision now! </p>

<p>I will check the details on insurance and hope everything gets better escaping that charge.</p>

<p>Again, thanks a bunch!!!</p>
