Penn's real crown jewel (hint: it ain't Wharton)

<p>I am he. I didn't realize that you were my assisted-living nurse, though.</p>

<p>Wow, omaplata...sounds like you have some anger issues. Get some fresh air.</p>

<p>Suffice to say I have ample proof to the contrary (the company accidentally emailed me the list of my year's applicants from Penn and the rest of the Ivy League when putting me in charge of recruitment marketing).</p>

<p>As for EATYOURCEREAL (still yet to display proof of being anything more advanced than a php script) saying

i think it's pretty obvious that ilovebagels wishes he got into wharton. why he needs to tell us this, however, is not as clear

</p>

<p>This sentence is rife with logical inconsistencies that I feel compelled to point out, for the public's erudition, and the ancillary benefit of making you look stupid.</p>

<p>First problem. For me to "wish I got into Wharton" I would have to have applied to Wharton. Since I have already made it abundantly clear that I went to CAS, I must have applied to CAS by choice (and, since the CAS/Wharton choice is a binary one, therefore not Wharton), remained in it, and graduated with honors (albeit, I confess, barely).</p>

<p>You then proceed to say "Why he needs to tell us this, however, is not as clear." Now even hypothetically (and erroneously) assuming I DID wish I went to Wharton, I certainly have displayed no need to tell you of my furtive Wharton desires, so I don't know how you came to the conclusion of how I need to tell you something when I have not told you anything of the sort.</p>

And ilovebagels, while I may agree that some students may have had a better experience studying liberal arts, Wharton attracts certain types of applicants that I feel want the type of atmosphere the school brings

<p>I agree entirely, Chi-town. Many (but certainly not all) Wharton students have a mentality appropriate for their chosen school and environment. While I'm certainly not one of them, I'm glad to have met them and learned things from them that I wouldn't have learned from just about anyone at, say, Brown.... ;)</p>

<p>ilovebagels doesn't deserve to be harassed by anyone. God knows I do, so please incline your ire-laden, ill-conceived insults in my direction.</p>

<p>I'm ever so clever, and none of you is (this grammar is correct, although I don't think EATYOURCEREAL or LAconfidential would be capable of parsing it well). Unless you feel like getting bloodied, get the hell out.</p>

<p>are we talking about penn or penn state? i was under the assumption they were the same college...</p>

<p>Go Nittany Lions!! We should be so proud to have Joe Pa.</p>

<p>ya joe pa is awesome</p>

<p>Don't feed the trolls.</p>

<p>Anyway the NYT piece seems to suggest the Singh nanotech center will be a likely recipient of Federal funds</p>

<p>Singh is King! ;)</p>

<p>yeah guys please dont feed muerte or ilovebagels</p>

<p>ilovecereal</p>

<p>omaplata… I don’t mind arrogance, as often it is supported by performance. I do mind ingracious arrogance, which you display in spades in your post.</p>

<p>If Wharton students are in general as ingracious as your post (whether by selection, or institutional breeding), I feel badly for the unaware Wharton admittee who will enter such an inhospitable environment in which to spend the college years.</p>

<p>I’m in Wharton and haven’t come across anyone like him yet. Do not fear future applicants, all is well in Huntsman!</p>

<p>To be fair you sound like you have a huge chip on your shoulder and further are a complete disgrace</p>

<p>Bumping this. I guess I wasn’t so wrong about Penn after all.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>PrincetonDreams, really? And I just wasted a few minutes skimming this…and no, it really doesn’t confirm much of anything you’ve said. Reading comprehension, much?</p></li>
<li><p>Guys, don’t reply to this, as it will only bump the thread. Report it as a problem post if you will (or, please do), but if you try to “fight him off again” (he obviously has nothing better to do) it will only push his inane comments to the forefront of the message board.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I just wonder why this kid is so obsessed with Penn (and the Penn forum).</p>

<p>^ Guys, not every critic of Penn is a ■■■■■. I’ve stated numerous times that I have a great deal of respect for Penn, but you dismissing of the fact that there’s a social hierarchy there just came off as slightly ridiculous to me. Penn is divided, in large part thanks to Wharton, and this thread provides a glimpse into that division. If you disagree with me, state your disagreement, but seriously avoid repeating that whole “he’s a ■■■■■” nonsense again.</p>

<p>And well, you can read the rest of the thread yourself.</p>

<p>@45Percenter: I actually really like Penn as a school, so I’m not bashing it. Please don’t take my arguments the wrong way. In fact, I actually like it enough to be considering it as a transfer option. :)</p>

<p>Making money off of a research heavy med school is tough doing. That’s why the diggin’ ain’t happening yet. My alma mater has wanted a law school for years, 40 that I know of for sure, and the numbers just did not work out. They finally went with a business program and it’s still tough going. You got the cash cow there already with Wharton. I think the med school is going to be tough going financially.</p>

<p>Are you referring to the Singh Center for Nanotechnology? I’m pretty sure the digging has already started.</p>

<p>Not the digging, bro… the diggin’. They ain’t started the diggin’.</p>

<p>Thanks ■■■■■ for bumping this thread about the med school. Great timing with the $225 mil the med school is receiving.</p>
