[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wharton really dominates Penn. It's one reason why my kid declined to apply. But if you visit, you really sense that there are two tiers at Penn - there's Wharton, and then there's the rest of the school. It's like Wharton is the varsity team, and the rest of Penn muddles along on the JV team. It's not for everyone. [/quote]

This isn't really true...nobody in the Penn Engineering school thinks for a second that Wharton is the Varsity school considering anyone accepted into Engineering could have been accepted into Wharton...Penn Engineering has like a 2% acceptance rate, by far the hardest admit at UPenn (and the engineering kids are highly recruited by Wall Street/fintech/quant funds, etc.).[/quote]

This is true from my perspective too. My son is at Penn Engineering. He was top in his class at his high school, merit finalist, perfect GPA, 1580 SAT, 5s on all 14 of his AP tests and was a self taught coder with insane internships and experience, and he said that he was SOLIDLY the middle of the pack intellectually when he got to Penn Engineering. Truly smart, hardworking kids [/quote]
