I'm done voting. Duke+Brown>all of the rest. (they're great schools if you want to be able to choose what courses you take because there aren't any required ones) Out of genuine curiosity, why do you guys like UPenn so much?

(Princeton and Columbia I understand.)

@rachel - because it's my first choice? Why do you like Duke so much, oh, because it's your first choice. Penn is ranked 5th in the country by USNWR, it's not like it is out of place or anything.

I didn't mean it like that. I know it's a great school. I just want to know why it's your first choice? (Like what sets it apart?)

@Rachel - I visited and I loved it, it has an awesome business school, my dad went there, etc. I could ask you what you have against it, you voted it down nearly every turn.

UPenn's always gonna have to deal with that non-big three, ancient eight status. Even though it was established six years prior to Princeton.

I feel as though UPenn's got a great business program but Princeton's better all-around. UPenn's a great school, don't get me wrong (I was accepted there but just decided to go with the better fit), but somehow it's got that "little brother" status to the Big Three in the eyes of the people.
