<p>Can anyone please list in order of increasing difficulty to get in to certain school?</p>
<p>For example i know it is more difficult to get into Wharton than anything else.</p>
<p>Wharton
SEAS
Nusing
CAS</p>
<p>Can someone tell me what the order is?</p>
<p>Nursing is easiest. SEAS and CAS are about equal, imo. And Wharton is by far the hardest.</p>
<p>I don’t know I think SEAS is slightly harder than CAS. I’m not entirely sure but thats what I heard. However if you’re a girl, it may be even.</p>
<p>Nursing is absolutely not the easiest — not by a long shot. It’s on-par with SEAS and CAS. Penn has one of the best undergraduate nursing programs in the country, and it has very few slots. </p>
<p>People who aren’t in the undergraduate nursing game think that nursing school’s (especially Penn’s) are pretty easy to get into, but they are actually extremely competitive.</p>
<p>If I had to rank things, I’d say SEAS == CAS < Nursing < Wharton. SEAS has much much fewer slots than CAS, but also has less applicants. CAS has more slots. Comparing them isn’t really meaningful. However, Wharton is definitely the hardest to get into, statistically.</p>

<p>Statistically Nursing is the easiest. The DP reported in 2010 that 20% of nursing applicants were accepted overall. Which is a lot higher than the CAS and SEAS rates which are supposedly just around the overall rate.</p>
<p>Wharton is not by far the hardest. While it may have a lower acceptance rate than SEAS and CAS, the fact is that the quality of students is the same.</p>
<p>if the quality of students is the same, does that just mean more unqualified students apply to wharton than the other schools each year?</p>
<p>No, Wharton generally attracts a different sort of person than CAS. Also, when you get to acceptance rate that low, they already have way more qualified applicants than there are spots. The observation of the qualifications of the students comes from being here for seven semesters. The average student at Wharton, CAS, and SEAS are practically identical with different strengths. I would say SEAS and CAS might actually have a higher percentage of students at the very top of the spectrum based on what I have observed. Despite what they tell you, STEM majors at Penn are much more rigorous than Wharton. Wharton kids have a lot more time to go out during the week.</p>
