[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's mostly for Jewish and Asian kids who can't get into HYP and have to pretend all they ever really wanted was to become a hedge fund analyst or a bond trader.  There are some liberal arts kids who want to be in an urban environment, but they are on the fringes now.  Wharton completely sets the tone.  [/quote]
Hope you get your knickers unknotted soon. They seem to be causing perceptual damage.

I've been surprised in recent years by some of the kids I've seen turned down by Penn, including valedictorians and salutatorians who are now at other Ivy League schools and Duke ( and very happy at those schools).

Interesting post by Wharton grad , thanks. 
The building on and around the campus has dwarfed some of the more traditional buildings ( quad, museum, student union, old stadium) giving it even more of a city feel.

Penn does have a tradition in this area of taking a large portion of the students if they apply early acceptance - vs. letting students applying to HYP apply to it as their 'safety' - this is part of the 'strategic thinking' of how they helped push their way up in the rankings from the teens to the top ten.[/quote]

penn i think was a pioneer in yield management.

Chicago would be the opposite of penn which is why for years it lagged penn. Not due to quality but because they didn't really care about massaging their yield. [/quote]
