[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I went to grad school at Penn and think that the Wharton dominates talk is overblown.  A good number of my friends had gone to undergrad at Penn and only one was at Wharton.[/b]  There are plenty of premeds and liberal arts folks, plus Penn has the Annenberg school for communications and an architecture school.  The student body is huge compared to the other ivies so I think that allows for more, not less, diversity among the undergrads.  There is a heavy NY-NY-PA contingent and perhaps it is harder for other students to assimilate.  It is social, has top rate academics and a mid-size city to explore, should one so desire.  I'd be happy to send my kids there.[/quote]

But doesn't this confirm what everyone else is saying? Even the UPenn grads who weren't in the Wharton school ended up in that world, in this case at Wharton.

They do have other strong departments but the folks DD met who were in those departments were unhappy. So if you are looking at Penn from the perspective of someone who is interested in liberal arts and the humanities, be careful adn talk to current students with similar interests.[/quote]

What are you talking about? Pp said she went to grad school at Penn, not at Wharton. There are tons of happy liberal arts people there - I was one if them as were most of my friends. The ones in Wharton were less happy because of the cutthroat nature.[/quote]

PP here.  I went to law school there, and had friends doing graduate work in public policy plus undergrad friends
