Tasp 2007

<p>Uh-oh, my issues essay seems much more opinionated than everyone else's (I talked about the Slow Food movement). DAMN YOU COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL! THE APP IS IN THE MAIL, WHY TAUNT ME NOW?</p>

<p>i just realized that i wrote "Stravinsky" when I meant to write "Schoenberg"... lol but they're both crazy russian composers with s</p>

<p>hey chaotic, you'll probably meet a good friend of mine there. she's '10. are you going to be rooming in the quad?</p>

<p>I've had one essay left to do for a whole week now. I'm gonna finish it up today!</p>

<p>Whartonhopeful, I'm willing to put aside your Adam Smith-worship ( :] ) for the time being. Who are your favorite composers (I ask so many questions...)? Of late, I'm really into musique concrete, Ussachevsky and Reich in particular. Please, fellow TASP CCers, do not mistake me for a man of pretension. If nothing else, your extreme intellect intimidates me into dropping composer names.</p>

<p>Schoenberg is fantastic.</p>

<p>zomg i love classical music! I wish i could play an instrument. Tchaikovsky (spell?), Beethoven, and Wagner are my homies.</p>

<p>I like Prokofiev (best eva), Bartok, Ravel, Schoenberg, Debussy, Szymanowski, Rachmaninoff, Schubert, and Shostakovich. Bach is evil (if you ever played anything from Well Tempered Clavier you'll understand my fury...) and Mozart is boring because it all sounds the same...</p>

<p>I learned Tchaikovsky's PC No. 1 a few months ago... Amazing piece, but soooo tedious... Wagner's operas are good, although you'll drop dead if you try to perform Die Meistersinger... lol</p>

<p>I'm a business person, what do you expect (transcendentalism? i probably misspelled taht)</p>

<p>uhh... I think the only classical song I listen to is Pachabel's Canon in D, unless you count the techno classical remixes.</p>

<p>Wow, this thread is moving along quite rapidly</p>

<p>Ehh, I'm trying to avoid the Quad and go for a high-rise if possible. If not, my second choice will be Kings Court, where the rooms are more spacious.</p>

<p>Clockwork ORange Soundtrack? lol</p>

<p>We have hijacked this thread. Shostakovich is cool, I like Debussy and Bartok - speaking of which (and remixes), Venetian Snares put out an excellent album a few years back full of remixes of Hungarian contemporary classical ("Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett"). It blew me away.</p>

<p>when I visited wharton last august, we couldn't visit the dorms bc students were already moving in. but huntsman is def the best building on the penn campus. there was this one old guy on our tour who must have asked "are legacies better, because I went here 35 yrs ago" like 1,000 times. He also told me that having both an MBA and a JD would hurt me... lol</p>

<p>we may break the sound barrier</p>

<p>He's just trying to sabotage your future, whartonhopeful -___-</p>

<p>I believe that Penn has a joint JD/MBA program, but most students opt for full employment after undergrad. Are you pursuing a career in corporate law?</p>

<p>ya, prob antitrust law. but may op for intellectual property.</p>

<p>I visited in August, too.. I might've even been on your tour. Creepy. August is when the Harvard obsession officially ended and the Wharton obsession began. Thank god I visited.</p>

<p>Geez, this thread is incredibly active! :D</p>

<p>I'm working on my seminar rankings right now...Still have a lot of work to do on the other essays, but I've got til Monday, right?</p>

<p>penn's most interesting program is the submatriculation program, where you can start your MBA or JD program in your 4th year of undergrad. VERY competitive though. But not nearly as competitive as Wharton undergrad</p>
