[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn attracts both male and female.  The number of female applicants is about the same as the number of male applicants.  The acceptance rate for female applicants is about the same as the acceptance rate for male applicants.

It’s not a school only for tech bro and fin bro.  There are plenty of female students at Wharton and SEAS.  I like the balance. [/quote]

Yes infact almost 70% of BIoenging is female, over 50% of materialsE and chem and even Comp is close to 50%, applicants and enrolled. Engineering is very popular at mid-size schools that offer non-stem opportunities such as arts and double major/minor in humanities. All thanks to women in stem and girls who code initiatives that started 10 yrs or more ago. Which are great but made it much more competitive for women. Premeds have been far more than 50% for many years, so of course most are college of arts and sciences. 
Penn with a hospital on campus attracts a lot of premeds. The museum on campus and kelly writers house make it great for humanities too. 
Among people who actually attend, wharton is seen as the easy undergrad school—ave gpa is 3.9, though in reality that is no more inflated than H or Brown. It remains the most inflated Penn undergrad course of study. Many have second majors or minors in the college though—Penn is quite interdisciplinary [/quote]
