[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn provides incredible opportunities after graduating, so that alone makes it worthwhile to look at. However, as many others have stated here, the culture is not for everyone and many won't thrive in it. If your kid is very smart but doesn't want to be in a 100% pressure cooker environment, the closest comparison is Duke. Similar great outcomes but has school spirit and many avenues to avoid burnout and mental health issues. If your kid is type A and thrives under high stress and pressure, Penn is hard to beat.[/quote] +1 that’s how I see it too, very similar schools but Penn is slightly more preprofessional. Online it says they split cross-admits 50-50 so it’s likely a very tough decision that’s based on personality. I think you could argue Columbia is also a similar school but they have the core which is a different academic offering entirely[/quote]
