[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who in their right minds would pay full freight for UPenn?[/quote]

? A lot of people. It’s a top school, I’d argue equal to or better than Yale at this point.[/quote]

Equal or better than Yale?

Penn boosters out in full force, and as always, they're piping delusion.[/quote]

I have no connection to either school. But I certainly regard Penn as a superior school to Yale. With Wharton, it has the preeminent undergraduate business program in the world. And Penn engineering is infinitely better than Yale engineering. I'm sure Yale is a very pleasant place to study art history, but it's not 1952 anymore. Yale has failed to adapt to a changing world. It's increasingly an anachronism.[/quote]

A convenient narrative, but not true. Yale is full of kids heading into finance, consulting, law school, med school, etc. just like its peer institutions. Not as historically strong in STEM, but has poured a ton of money into those areas in recent years and the research opportunities for undergrads are tremendous. “Failed to adapt to a changing world” is silliness.[/quote]
