| Penn = Preprofessional Haven?
I am a junior exploring colleges and Penn sounds like a great fit for me in terms of its urban location, size, social student body and academic prestige. However, while I haven't decided exactly what my major is going to be yet, I know it will be something in the liberal arts--probably sociology or psychology. I visited Claremont McKenna this past weekend expecting to love it and instead was greatly turned off by the preprofessional feel of the campus with the majority of students majoring in economics or government and turning their noses up and students studying subjects outside of the preprofessional areas.
My question after hearing about Wharton and the general preprofessional attitude at Penn is: is the preprofessional mentality pervasive at the Penn campus? Are students who are unsure of their careers and are there for the sake of exploring the liberal arts in the minority? |
