[quote=Anonymous][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 correct, coming from having a current Engineer as well as a recent CAS grad. Engineering is understood to be the Brains, Wharton are the pricks with easy classes. The Wharton average GPA is close to a 3.9 it is understood to be the easiest by far, though still not "easy" as all the students put work in. SEAS has the lowest average GPA of 3.5 overall.
The not so secret "joke" is Engineering is Ravenclaw, CAS is Gryffindor, Nursing is Hufflepuff and Wharton of course is Slytherin. There are t shirts and many other memes about it. Only slytherins themselves think slytherin is best. DCUM not surprisingly is filled with slytherin-mindset parents. 
Highest mean salary is SEAS not Wharton and  has been for a couple of years now. That being said, CAS has lots of premeds and prelaw and they do very well in placement.

Actually nursing has highest salary out of graduation. [/quote]
