<p>Do you think UPenn med favor Princeton UG over UPenn UG ? Why would Penn med do that ? </p>
<p>No matter how close the relationship betwen them is, UPenn med will never admit more Princeton UG than UPenn UG. </p>
<p>Look at Yale Law, there are 5 time more Yale UG than Princeton UG. </p>
<p>Every top Law Med PhD MBA programs gives special treatment to their own UG applicant. Everyone knows that !!</p>
<p>
Not really. Stanford Law Med Business shcools are NOT included in WSJ ranking. </p>
<p>What I am saying is ā¦</p>
<p>At UPenn med, Princeton & Harvard applicants gets fair and equal treatment.
However, at Stanford Med , Stanford UG gets special preferential treatment.
at Yale Law, Yale UG get special preferential treamtment.
at Upenn Med, UPenn UG get special preferential treatment
at Columbia Med, Columbia UG get special preferential treamtent.<br>
.
.
.
at Princeton Med, of course Princeton UG get speciā¦ oops sorry Princeton doesnāt have medical school.</p>
<p>Yet we still dominate at grad/professional school admissions, which shows how much we rock.</p>
<p>Besides, who would want to stay at Princeton for 8 years? I love Princeton, but even I would get so sick of this place.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nope. they are 5 grad programs selected by WSJ. It somehow conveniently excluded Stanford Med Law Business. and included mostly East coast grad schools.</p>
<p>I spoke with some pre-med students at Princeton last weekend. They said they were happy with the grade deflation because it meant they truly earned the diploma they worked for.</p>
<p>Of course, they couldāve just been saying anything to get prospective students to come. Good luck to your son! Maybe Iāll see him in the fall.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which makes it a better comparison between Princeton and Stanford since Princeton doesnāt have any grad students counted in the feeder score comparison either. Oops, looks like you lost again. Why am I not surprised?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again I am not talking about whether Stanford is better or worse than Princeton. </p>
<p>At Stanford Med Law , PhD MBA program, more Stanford UGs will always be admitted than Princeton UG, no matter how excellent Princeto UG is ā¦</p>
<p>At Yale Law, 5 times more Yale UG are admitted than Princeton UG even though Princeton UG are much more qualified.</p>
<p>As a parent I read many threads about different things. I sincerely appreciate the responses and the professional discussion without crossing the line. Everybody is presenting the facts in a reasonable way. This positive discussion helps many students. We are planning to attend both Princeton and Yale in coming weeks. We love both schools. Once we visit, its upto my son to decide. No matter which school he chooses, we love Princeton and Yale equally. They are the best. Please continue debating and post more facts. Your help is invaluable.</p>

<p>I apologize German_Car, I obviously vastly overestimated your intelligence in assuming you were able to read. The WSJ selected 15 elite graduate programs, including 5 top programs from Med, Law and Business, which were determined based off of actual graduate school rankings. </p>
<p>Try reading this, perhaps if you go slowly and take a few hours to process the text, you may be able to understand.</p>
<p>[The</a> Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition](<a href=āWSJ in Higher Education | Trusted News & Real-World Insightsā>WSJ in Higher Education | Trusted News & Real-World Insights)</p>
<p>German_car raises an issue worth discussing.</p>
<p>Is it better to attend a university that places an emphasis on undergraduate education or should you attend a university based on the graduate school you may want to attend in four years. German_car clearly believes if you want to go to Yale Med you should attend Yale College.</p>
<p>There is a good reason why many organizations that rank undergraduate education rank Princeton number one. Princetonās administration and endowment are dedicated to making Princeton the best undergraduate education in the world. Princeton has the highest endowment per undergraduate in the country. Princeton simply has more money to spend on faculty salaries and undergraduate education. Pennās endowment must support all their professional schools.</p>
<p>I think that it is highly advantageous for students to attend a different graduate school and undergraduate school. Different schools have different philosophies and approaches. For example, in economics there are the salt water economists [Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Stanford] and the fresh water economists [University of Chicago, Minnesota.] There are advantages to learning both schools of thought.</p>
<p>The danger of trying to pick an undergraduate college based on the graduate school you may want to attend is that students change their major! A freshman pre-med is a sophomore novelist or a junior attorney. </p>
<p>Students should choose the college where they can get the best education, where they are comfortable with the students that attend, the school that has activities of interest (sports, arts, music, special interest clubs, etc.), and will support their ever changing educational goals. </p>
<p>Princeton students do not share German-cars concern over their ability to get into graduate school. Princeton pre-meds end up studying medicine at Yale, Harvard, Stanford, John Hopkins, and other fine schools.</p>
<p>^Bravo - what an awesome post.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same UG/G is more likely to happen thant different UG/G.
At yale law school., Yale UG/Yale Law is 5 time more likely than Princeotn UG/Yale Law.</p>
<p>Any statistics from recent Princeton medical school applicants(Princeton students who applied to medical schools). How many students applied(in 2009/2008), how many got accepted, and how many to each medical school?</p>
<p>Fall 2009 matriculants: 107/115 accepted to a medical school (93.0%), somewhere around 30% of those headed to a top 10 medical school.</p>
<p>Itās certainly not bad (except for Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, which also have around 90-95% acceptance rates to a medical school, no other school comes close), but I still think life would be easier if someone did pre-med at Yale rather than Princeton.</p>
<p>what about the advantage penn hasā¦it facilitiesā¦access to bigger city?
im just asking</p>
<p>UPenn undergrad are the most represented at Penn Med school because top grad school
always give strongest preferences to their own undergraduate applicants. </p>
<p>Because Princeton does not have med ( law PhD MBA) programs, Princeton UG are alwasy treated as 2nd class applicants.</p>
<p>Lol we donāt have PhD programs now?</p>
<p>Penn undergrads have a very slight advantage over Princeton for Penn Med.
Princeton undergrads have a slight advantage over Penn undergrads for all other medical schools.</p>
<p>Nope. Penn UG have HUGE advanage over Princeton for Penn Med Law PhD MBA(wharton) programs. Penn and Princeton are treated equally at all other grad schools.</p>
<p>On the Internets, we can say whatever we want - no data required! Example:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nope. Mercer Community College has a HUGE advantage over Penn UG for ALL Penn Med Law PhD MBA(wharton) programs. Mercer Community College and Penn are treated equally for all other grad schools.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes I want to add one more example:
