<p>^ Believe what you want to.</p>
<p>I replied about the terrible college experience here, but then deleted it, because I know that a few of you may be excited right now, and I don’t want to say anything to dampen your days before you arrive at Penn.</p>
<p>Congrats most to those deferred by Engineering/CAS and those who were smart enough to apply (important) and get accepted to Huntsman/M&T!! :)</p>
<p>^ You have absolutely no credibility (as your numerous anti-Penn posts from last year clearly reveal), and if I get a moderator involved, it will be to get you banned from CC (as has happened to other anti-Penn trolls who posted in this forum).</p>
<p>
There is absolutely NO data to support these outrageously ridiculous claims. None. Nada. Zilch.</p>
<p>Furthermore, in virtually every respectable academic ranking of liberal arts deparments (e.g., National Research Council), Penn has as many highly ranked departments as Columbia, and many more than Dartmouth and Brown. For example, Penn departments consistently ranked among the top 10 in the nation include English, History, Anthropology, Religion, Art History, Music, Economics, French, Linguistics, Spanish, and Psychology. And many other of Penn’s liberal arts departments are consistently ranked in the top 20.</p>
<p>Seriously, before you embarrass yourself any further in this thread, you really need to get a clue. You obviously know NOTHING about liberal arts at Penn and CAS.</p>
<p>I’m with 45 Percenter on this one. To really prove you still go to Penn, take a timestamped photo and link us to it. Pics or it didn’t happen.</p>
<p>^ But there’s always Photoshop.</p>
<p>Just take a look through all of PrincetonDreams’ earlier posts in the Penn forum (and his other posts and threads on CC). It won’t take long to see how totally lacking in credibility he is.</p>
<p>And note how my threat of reporting him to a moderator got him scrambling to redact his offensive posting in this thread (see posts #21 and #22). But alas, the time for him to edit post #18 had expired. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Timestamps can be written on paper in real life (as apposed to on the computer).</p>
<p>^^ Um, go ahead. I’m just interested in maintaining my privacy. If a moderator wants to see my school email to confirm my claims, they are welcome to ask me for it. I’m on Penn’s network for goodness sakes!</p>
<p>Lol, poor ■■■■■.</p>
<p>lols</p>
<p>As a College graduate, I can attest to a couple things. The percentage of Wharton graduates with job offers in hand on graduation day does far exceed the percentage of CAS students; however the percentage of CAS students with offers to attend graduate and professional school far exceeds the percentage of Wharton students. It’s a give and take. Along a similar vein, Wharton graduates have a higher starting salary, on average, than CAS students; however, fewer CAS students enter into the banking and consulting industries, opting instead for different types of jobs. CAS graduates often go into research, teaching and non-profits since that is where their skills and interests lie, and you aren’t going to find too many rich teachers out there! Further, many CAS graduates intend to get a higher degree and enter the workforce in order to bolster their resume. Someone looking to go to law school is wise to accept a legal assistant or paralegal job that will pay relatively little, and that will drive down average salaries without question.</p>
<p>The second thing I can attest to is that out of my 30 closest friends, all 30 knew what they were going to be doing when we graduated. Expanding to the other 200 or so class of 2011 graduates with whom I am acquainted, when we graduated, 199 knew what they were going to be doing, and the other got her job offer a month later.</p>
<p>But I guess people should definitely take the word of an anonymous freshman over the word of multiple alumni.</p>
