<p>Anarch, go to Bulldog Days if you can. I’m not saying that it is not possible for a student to end up liking Penn more than Yale; I’m sure there are a few who choose Penn over Yale every year, especially for Wharton. However, I don’t think you have any idea what you’d be giving up at Yale – there’s no place like it!</p>
<p>Also, re: med school, it will NOT matter whether you go to Yale or Penn. I just looked at the med school stats, and Yale med vs. Penn med are hardly different in the rankings.</p>
<p>If anything, the numbers indicate that Yale will make it easier to get into top med schools than Penn. I have heard in the past that Yale pre-med is the best if not near-the best in terms of placement at top med schools. </p>

<p>Getting into Harvard Med required a 3.9 gpa at Penn but only a 3.8 gpa at Yale. Getting into Penn Med required a 3.8 gpa at Penn and a 3.78 at Yale. Getting into Yale med required a 3.9 gpa at Penn but only a 3.74 at Yale. I don’t think the statistics show Penn is any better; in fact, they seem to show the opposite!</p>
