Penn is a top 10 college with #1 undergraduate business, #1 MBA program, #5 law school, top 3 medical school, and so on. [/quote]

Not really true, Penn has strong grad programs but you don't have to embellish. Their MBA is more comparable to top 3-5, while law school and medical school are more like top 10. [/quote]

What ignorance on display here.

Wharton is #1 MBA.  This is without question.  Law school is top 5 and medical school is top 3.

There is no embellishment here.  Just facts that anybody in these fields would agree with.[/quote]

I went to Penn for a dual degree program and while I have a lot of pride in Penn, you're wrong on multiple things.

First and foremost, I respect Duke as a peer school and accept it's better than us in multiple aspects and academic programs, while we're better than them in other programs. Now to your specifics on professional schools:

1. Wharton (business school) is not the #1 MBA. It's pretty universally considered #3 behind Harvard and Stanford. Wharton is a clear cut above Fuqua though.
2. Carey (law school) is borderline top 5. The undisputed top 3 are Harvard, Stanford, and Yale. Then some mix of Columbia, Penn, Duke, UChicago, NYU, and UVA could all claim a reason to be in the top 5.
3. Perelman (medical school) is not top 3. Generally the top 3 is some mix of Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Duke, UCSF, and Stanford. Penn is right up in the next level with WashU, Yale, Columbia, and NYU.[/quote]

Respectfully, you are wrong about everything.  Why are you posting here?  You are just posting your strange opinions.[/quote]

They are spot on. So STFU. You can disagree without being an ignorant jerk. Though in this case, they are 100% correct.[/quote]
