^^I have Max Mintz. Great advisor. and a really cool person

I came in to Penn as bioengineering and had a really bad advisor. Funny story: in my penn professor essay to get in to the university, i wrote about this guy. turns out, he was terrible.
i then switched to CS and they assigned Max Mintz.

so advising, at least for SEAS is a hit or a miss. I have spoken with a wharton advisor and i had an OK one.

All in all, advising is really laid back. You can usually find all the information online and you already should know what courses to take.
