[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a middle ivy, similar standing to Columbia. Worse than HYP, better than Dartmouth,Brown,Cornell.

[b]However if you get into the Wharton School at Penn it might make sense to turn down HYP if you are 100% interested in studying business. A decent number of kids do that, particularly YP cross admits.[/b] [/quote]

This is totally fabricated. Status obsessed Wharton kids aren't turning down Y and P. And two, there's no data that breaks down YP vs Wharton cross admits.[/quote]

I didn't make this post, but I am a Penn parent so I can chime in  on that. It is true that a lot of of the Wharton admits are status -obsessed and thus are lured to HYPS due to the greater lay prestige. However, there is a decent number of Wharton and even more so Penn dual degree kids who turn down HYPS for Penn. These are the kids with either a very specific and intense interest in business or those who know what a unique opportunity the Penn dual degree programs are. My DC graduated from a dual degree at Penn not long ago and roughly half of all the kids in his program and the other 4-5 similar programs at Penn had at least one HYPS choice they turned down. He also knew some Wharton kids who had turned down YP but those were few. Outside of Wharton or dual degrees, it was exceedingly rare that any Penn students had turned down HYPS. [/quote]
