Don’t conflate the statements of random anonymous posters with no Penn affiliation–e.g., fliquer–with the positions espoused by Penn students and alums, or by Penn itself. Posters on CC who cite Penn’s Ivy League membership as a reason to go there–or even a factor worth mentioning–are almost never actual Penn students or alums. And anyone who has attended a Penn admissions function or read its promotional literature knows that the words “Ivy League” are rarely, if ever, mentioned.</p>
