I'm thinking Penn.[/quote]

Haha. Wrong again. Nice try, only six more to go, so I'm stopping now. You'll just have to suffer in ignorance.[/quote]

Ther's an Ivy with a higher rate of admission than U Penn?  I didn't know that.[/quote]

When did Penn start going by U Penn?   Or is that a DC thing?  I get that it is not to confuse it with penn state. But I grew up in Philly and have several family members that went there and everyone just said Penn - except the old waspy types just called it Pennsylvania. [/quote]
My brother graduated fom Penn 30 years ago. About 90% of the people I've mentioned it to think I'm talking about PSU. I'm from western PA.  I guess the people from Philly can keep it straight. [/quote]

+1. I grew up about 1 1/2 hours north of Philadelphia, and "Penn" meant Penn State, which is where most people went to college, very few if any in my class went to UPenn.[/quote]

I grew up in south central PA and it was always known as Penn.  didn't hear this u Penn nonsense until I moved here.[/quote]
