No clue, I just know WW stopped apps for it very recently...like last year or this year.

I feel that Yale is making apps for it because they want to keep the Global Affairs program quite small and it seems more structured than WW so perhaps that's why they are doing that.

I dislike how penn does wharton because then you get the whole 'wharton vs. rest of the school'....you ask a wharton UG where they go to UG and they almost always say 'wharton'...you ask the rest of the penn student body and they say 'penn'.

i think the wharton/penn divide is greater than the other 2 ivies that make you apply directly to the various schools..cornell and columbia. [/quote]

As a Wharton grad with relatives at these other two schools, I'd have to agree, unfortunately. At Wharton it's all about snobbery towards all the other schools, particularly about how you expect to have a glamorous career in international finance while those schmucks in the rest of Penn are going to be begging for jobs as barristas. Also, Wharton gets a lot of ostentatious financing from various private sources that leads to gorgeous new buildings on the edge of a campus of older buildings. At Cornell and Columbia, school choice is also determined by your major (engineering, agriculture, architecture) or your gender (Barnard). There's some rivalry and snobbery (e.g. Columbia College vs. Barnard, which is pretty unjustified when you look at it closely), but on the whole there's much less snobbery.[/quote]
