[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does University of Pennsylvania place in terms of college list for a high stat student?[/quote]

It is among the highest of reaches as with every other T10 that has engineering. 
DS is a freshman in M&T, 1560 straight 5s, top of his stem high school tons of ECs and glad he did ED or he might not be there.
UPenn had an overall engineering admit rate under 3.5% the past 3 cycles, according to the dean. The 3% is inclusive of ED and RD together. It is the hardest upenn school to gain acceptance to, harder than Wharton and has been for a few years due to engineering's popularity among top students interested in STEM. Out of an incoming freshman class of 2400, SEAS only has about 425 spots yet 16-17k of the 65k total apps are to SEAS or one of the SEAS duals (M&T, VIPER).

It's not just UPenn, engineering has become more common in the applicant pool of elites than the previously-popular pre-med stem students. Engineering applications soared everywhere since 2022 but especially at ivies/stanford/T10 types where there is a separate application to the E school and it can be tracked. [/quote]
