[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UPenn seemed a little odd to me decades ago because it was the only Ivy with a state as its name like many state schools.  Even today, my mind has to take an extra moment to process which is which whenever one or the other comes up in conversation.[/quote]

UPenn is often deemed faux Ivy. Their own Wharton undergraduates- where midwits tear each other down by sheer toxicity- look askance at fellow students at other departments.[/quote]

"often deemed" by whom exactly? Where did you even get this from? Who do you think you're speaking for? I've never heard of anyone calling Penn or any other school a "faux Ivy." And I'm a HYP grad myself.

I've heard it but it is usually said by ignorant people. Almost always by those who did not go to a school nearly as highly ranked (for whatever that's worth) as Penn. It's nice way for someone to tip off their lack of education and class. Then when their little snowflake with tons of "merit" doesn't get into HYPS like they think they were entitled to, they wonder why. Because they were raised by low class, ignorant, know-it-all morons.[/quote]
