<p>chelsearox,</p>
<p>Why Penn over UIUC? Biomedical Engineering?</p>
<p>Pennstate or Upenn? :)</p>
<p>no Mechanical. Aspirant transfer to M&T.
University of Pennsylvania.
I chose this because I want to get into Investment Banking later in life and with Penn’s open environment and Wharton’s recruiter pull Ill be in the right place.
Illinois is ranked highly but I dont think the name is big enough ( I am gonna get slaughtered for this)</p>
