<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering what you guys think about Furda coming to PENN, particularly current PENN students. I've heard he was a stud at Columbia, now Columbia is almost as selective as HYS (it beats out Princeton by percentage admitted to the college).</p>
<p>Do you think Furda can work his magic at PENN. It seems that PENN is a great institution but one of its main sour point in applicants eyes is its high admit rate. Will the Furda Factor be enough to help PENN become increasingly selective ? </p>
<p>Do you feel Gutman is taking PENN in the right direction. One could reference the superb management of PENN's endowment, the fact that she brought Furda to PENN, and other facts that hint of her success in outsiders eyes but I wonder what you insiders think.</p>
