<p>I hear people say that there’s a lot of pre-professionalism at Penn and that it gets annoying.</p>
<p>What’s the deal? Is this something that’s pretty much limited to the Wharton kids who want to go on the make millions of dollars, or are there kids in the college, like english majors, etc., who are set on getting jobs out of college? </p>
<p>My hunch is that it’s mainly wharton because for a lot of professions, graduate school really makes you a better canditate (research, etc.), but I was just curious.</p>
<p>I think what hazmat is referring to is that if you want an more objective answer then you would have to do your own research. I lot of people put thier own biases into their answers.</p>
<p>The most likely place you'll find pre-professionals are Wharton and econ majors in the College. As for the other 99 or so majors in the College, there is more diversity than you can shake a stick at (than at which you can shake a stick?)</p>
<p>There are 3 professional type schools here at the undergraduate level... Wharton, Engineering, and Nursing. So of course Penn has a lot of students with a pre-professional bent. But at the same time, there are more students in the College than in all those schools combined.</p>
<p>Also, just because someone knows they want to work right after college doesn't make them any less intellectual. I don't know how any sense of pre-professionalism can get "annoying." If it's not for you, just do your own thing.</p>
