[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm being told that there is a pecking order at Penn that is felt by the kids and wider world. as in, "You went to Penn? Wharton?" "No, I was in the college of arts and sciences." "Oh never mind"

I'm older so that's def not my experience. Penn is Penn.

But is there a feeling currently on campus that kids in CAS are second tier citizens?[/quote]

My son is a current sophomore at Penn Engineering. The engineering students think all of the Wharton students are "bricks." From their point of view the classes are too easy and they tend to poke fun. My son took a few classes at Wharton (law and another business related class) and liked it, but they weren't hard. I do think the vibe is that the Wharton kids think of themselves as top of the food chain so to speak. CAS seems to get no love at all. [/quote]
My Engineer agrees. Wharton classes are known to be easy. SEAS kids are known as the smartest and also have the hardest classes and have higher starting salaries than Wharton. [/quote]
