[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30+ years when I applied to college I debated applying to Wharton vs. CAS. I thought I wanted business and as a kid who skewed heavy towards math, my odds were actually likely better at Wharton.

I didn't want to get to Penn and then regret not being in Wharton - much easier to transfer out of Wharton than in.

I got in but chose another peer school as an econ major. I had a happier college experience than I would have had in West Philly. Worked in finance then ended up at Wharton for MBA.

A much higher percentage of Wharton undergrads are obnoxious and egotistical than CAS. But definitely far from all of them.[/quote]

The kids really do stick to West Philly which surprises me. Outside of the Quad freshman year, a lot of the dorms are sandwiched between Paneras, McDonalds, Acme style places and it's just kind of a drag. [/quote]

No one calls it "west philly" they say university city, which it is, and most students go from campus across the river into the actual city to eat, shop, farmers market, shows, and of course the Eagles superbowl victory night and the daytime parade a few days later[/quote]

Penn grad with dc there now and say W Philly not UC. [/quote]
