[quote=Anonymous]Penn grad here - from my experience the comments about the 'division' of Wharton-non-Wharton are way overblown here.  (Two of my roommates throughout were Wharton & I was in "the College"/Annenberg & it was of no issue - different classes!  There tends to be some ribbing across the majors (and about the literal digs that Wharton has) but mostly in fun) There are lots of top notch programs across the university for different things (med, engineering, Annenberg, psychology, history, religious studies, even art history, etc etc).  I would say most of the students are ambitious/competitive & have a lot of drive throughout the school.  (I would say the same for the MoCo W-high school I attended).  I can't think of a classmate who isn't doing fine careerwise - ranging from top of wall streeters to public defenders to public accountants - not all top of the world (some are professionally, most probably 5%-ers vs. 1%-ers).  It's a big school of smart kids, and the student body reflects that.  I personally would pick somewhere else if I had to do it again because I was one of those overwhelmed by the city environment, larger student body frat domination of the social world (about 30% of student body) vs. hearing about the  experiences friends had at small liberal arts schools - but I'd say that's a personality thing - and do think I got a very strong education, strong real-world education of how ambitious people act, and made some good friends.[/quote]
