<p>This is a random question but are there any advantages if you are a quaker and apply to UPenn or have been involved w/ quaker organizations, etc?</p>
<p>automatic admission. but you have to be the mascot for the next four years.</p>
<p>^ couldn’t say it better. You’re so lucky, I wish i was a quaker.</p>
<p>Other than its contribution to making you the unique person you are, being a Quaker (a real one, not the Penn mascot) does not give you an advantage as a Penn applicant.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, the Quaker mascot notwithstanding, Penn has no affiliation with the Society of Friends–and never has!</p>
<p>Suburban Philly neighbors Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr, on the other hand, were all founded by the Quakers (although they are no longer formally affiliated with them).</p>
