Penn does not belong in that top group.  Not even Wharton.  Yale has far more prestige.[/quote]

30 years ago you would have been correct.  Now Penn is in the top group.[/quote]

Penn is on the rise with over 72,000 apps this year. Yale apps went down.[/quote]
Because every. single. male. wants to be a business bro without particularly caring about the specific job title. And there is no better baldly unapologetically pre-professional place to do that in 2025 than Penn.

Doesn’t even have to be Wharton.  Q: Son, what do you think you want to do when you grow up? 17-19 yr old male A: Make bank. [/quote]

No. The deans have said for the past 4 cycles that Penn Engineering is the hardest school, not wharton, with the most recent acceptance rate around 2.5% and prior to that 3 years of 3-3.5% acceptance rate for Seas. The figure has been quoted many times by faculty at parent events over our 4 yrs and again around grad week. Female applicants to engineering at the top privates including penn is the group that has skyrocketed the past few years, with close to 40% of applicants up from 30% 6-7 years ago. Female engineers prefer the liberal arts options that penn engineering  and most of the ivies/  t15 provide. Wharton still gets a lot of apps but it has a higher acceptance rate. And, females are rapidly increased there too. [/quote]

Engineering in any school will be lot harder than Business ( who the ***k does business in undergraduates but loudmouths with questionable cerebrum) no wonder these slicks wander around in pre professional attire but deep down they know they are hollow and faking it…( typ whartonites )[/quote]
