[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child’s first choice school is Penn. I had mentioned that it would be a reach for him and that usually 1 kid gets in from our school. At some point, I realized that they thought I was referring to Penn State. When I mentioned UPenn was an Ivy League school, they seemed confused. These are Americans. Do people really not know the difference????[/quote] I have a U Penn degree. Everyone seems to just confuse it my whole life with Penn State, probably because of football giving it a big brand. I've tried saying U Penn, or U of Penn, and still they assume Penn state asking how I liked living in Pittsburgh. I assume it's the same with WUSTL, everyone assuming you went to UW or GW. No one realizes a Washington U can be outside Washington State or Washington DC.[/quote]
