Penn boosters are really something else, lol. Everyone remembers when Penn was the least desirable Ivy with like a 60%+ acceptance rate only a couple decades ago. Your school is masterful at fabricating history, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if you conveniently forgot about that inconvenient fact.

The Wharton School of Business was the best or tied for best from what I remember. Maybe you are thinking philosophy majors or something

No one cares. Columbia has always, always been considered the better school above Penn.

Not really..also Columbia is much poorer than Penn

Penn State?

Rational persons care.
Wharton School of Business is elite at the level of HYPSM and clearly above Columbia. UPenn (excluding Wharton) is just below Columbia. Simple. Non-controversial.

+1

The insistence on separating one sub-unit of the school is such damning proof that Penn is, in fact, an inferior and insecure school. No other school does this. It's really quite embarrassing.

You have a serious issue and an obsession. No one gives a shit about your mindless ranting.

You went to Notre Dame be quiet.

Penn and Chicago have always been better than poor Columbia. No one thinks of Columbia as elite. Columbia is grouped with Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell.

Wharton’s peer schools are HYPSM. Columbia’s peers are Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell.

I’m ok with this, but take out Columbia

Agree Columbia is out

There is a research article about how employers of elite firms view these schools, titled “Ivies, Extracurriculars, and Exclusion: Elite Employers' Use of Educational Credentials,” by Professor Lauren Rivera of Northwestern University.

Here’s a quote from the study:"Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and University of Pennsylvania (Arts and Sciences) were frequently described as 'second tier' schools that were filled primarily with candidates who 'didn’t get in' to a super-elite school."

In other words, employers from elite investment banks and such generally group both Columbia and Wharton with HYP instead of the rest of the ivies. I think it’s fair to say that both Columbia and Wharton are elite.

No in most finance circles, Wharton is a step above Columbia

Wharton is 3 steps above Columbia!

No one gives an F about Wharton except the people who went there. And certainly no one cares about UPenn.

Certainly more so than Columbia though

The vast majority of people in this country and in the world think UPenn is the state flagship of the state of Pennsylvania. The people who do know only learn about the school midway through high school when they Google which colleges are in the Ivy League and realize that UPenn is one. Absolutely no one thinks of it more highly than Columbia, which has a doubled cachet being the NYC Ivy, is higher ranked, more prestigious, and more selective.

People think that Columbia is a country. Penn and Chicago have national brands that are recognized by the public and media.

Emory is harder to get into than Cornell, if you count that public college Cornell has.
