Yes, many wharton students were harvard, yale, princeton, columbia cross admits, just like many SEAS students were harvard, yale, columbia, princeton cross admits. You’ll find that a great majority of students at Penn either chose to apply ED because it was their absolute top choice and they didn’t care to find out if they got into Stanford because they didn’t want to go-- and many others chose it during the RD round over equally wonderful schools as well. I personally chose Penn over Yale and Columbia among other schools and I certainly wasn’t alone. My roommate chose Penn over Columbia and Brown to study biology. One of the girls across the hall chose Penn over Harvard and Princeton to study classics. Another boy down the hall chose Penn over Yale and Cornell to study engineering. The point I’m trying to make is that all of Penn’s four schools are full of incredibly bright, interesting, and unique people. Broad generalizations about any of Penn’s four schools in 2016 don’t make a lot of sense. They were more appropriate back in the mid 20th century when Penn was a very, very different place. Today, however, student/faculty quality is pretty incredible across the board.
