<p>Only 2 from UPenn got into Yale Law.</p>

<p>UPenn has the biggest undergraduate student body (more than 10,000 undergrads) But only 2 got into Yale Law</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me about quality of UPenn undergrad students ?
especially Pre-law students ?</p>

<p>THEY SURE SUCK hur hur</p>

<p>Honestly, what kind of response are you expecting?</p>

<p>THEY DIDN'T GO TO YALE BECAUSE THEY GET TO BE LAWYERS WITHOUT LAW SCHOOL WE ARE THAT GOOD</p>

3

<p>2 people from UPenn to Yale Law
Even Cornell sent 7 to Yale Law.....</p>

<p>UPenn students are the worst Ivy people ?</p>

<p>Maybe you need to investigate how many Wharton Grads apply to law school. That would be useful.</p>

<p>i guess so at yale. that is disappointing
that is pretty strange, maybe they dont like us</p>

<p>hazmat ur post made no sense. what does it have to do with wharton? that's stat on yale's website is for all of penn. only 2 went to yale.</p>

<p>i love penn too but u r extreme, u never even acknowledge faults or n.e. thing</p>

6

<p>wow thats some good info</p>

7

<p>do you know where I could find info like that for HBS? I checked the site and no help so far.</p>

<p>Your implication is that Penn undergrads were not accepted. I think your data shows only what students opted to matriculated which is a different stat. Makes perfect sense to me.</p>

9

<p>so you're saying that more like 50 people got into the country's top law school but only 2 decided to go???
every school has that kind of difference between accepted and matriculated, and that is an appalingly low number. many more go to harvard as shown by ur stat. so why is the number for yale so low</p>

<p>You're forgetting that Penn has its own Top 14 law school. As you noticed with YLS and HLS, law schools, for some reason, like their own undergraduates.</p>

12

<p>Hahaha hazmat just owned you guys. Statistics and population ftw.</p>

<p>How are we supopsed to make such a generalization from the stats at ONE law school of students that matriculated?!? Maybe all of the pre-law people at Penn hate Yale. Perhaps only two people applied. Maybe Yale hates applicants from Penn. Whatever the reason, I am pretty sure of two things:</p>

<p>1) Penn is a great school. Students will graduate with the skills to get into top law schools and other graduate schools.
2) The number of grads at Yale Law is a completely useless number in trying to determine the strength of an undergraduate education.</p>

<p>Thank you, though, yellowhair, for your concern.</p>

<p>Yellowhair please tell me when you get to Penn I want to make your hair more yellow

<p>Maybe after four years of braving West Philly, Penn students don't want to move to the slums of New Haven.</p>

<p>Actually, this year a fairly high number of students from Penn are matriculating to Yale Law (over 5, I believe). It varies from year to year. But, regardless, Penn isn't "over 10,000" undergraduates and you posted. The College has 6,560 students, which is about the same size as Harvard or Brown, and most of the applicants to law school come from the College (though there are some from Wharton, but very few from Engineering and it's rare for Nursing students to apply to law school). Also, many Penn students historically have chosen Harvard Law over Yale Law (I don't really know why, but it's true). Also, YLS is very small, so matriculation numbers are not really an indicator of the strength of the law school applicant pool at top colleges. Penn is also very well represented at HLS, greater than larger schools like UC Berkeley, UVA, U Michigan, and Cornell, but also greater than smaller schools as well like Georgetown, Columbia, Brown, U Chicago, etc.</p>
