do they take into account the difficulty of a prep school compared to a public school. im pretty sure i would have straight a's and a 4.0 if i were at my local public high school.

Interesting opinion. I don't think I have heard that comparison and conclusion before. I notice you are at a day prep and not a boarding prep. I'd say you must be some kinda connected and have top academic record.</p>

<p>Honestly, I heard their veterinarian school is the top in the nation. That can rival Cornell's Hotel Management School for an uncommon school in an amazing university.</p>

19

<p>Actually, Cornell's veterinary school is usually ranked #1. Penn's nursing school should count, though. :p</p>
