<p>I was reading the High School commencement book for my Grandmother (Salem, Mass HS - class of 1915) and came across this interesting ad that shows how times have changed a bit -</p>

<p>If only…</p>

<p>Gosh, I thought you meant this was current information. Shucks.</p>

<p>Maybe for the 2014 admissions, they’ll change it back! <em>Hopeful</em></p>

<p>…Lol</p>

<p>Current Penn applicants shouldn’t read this, but in 1982, when I applied to Wharton, I actually neglected to complete a particular essay on the application (I was sort-of-sabotaging myself and hoping I didn’t get in since I feared my parents would make me choose that over another university), and not only did I get in, I got into an honors program. LOL.</p>

<p>Boy, the first response to this post of mine - 2 years later!</p>

<p>^ I’ve waited that long to see my dentist. who surely took all the required courses. :)</p>

<p>About 8 years ago, an alumnus of my son’s private high school, aged 85+, who’d gone to Yale, came to give an inspirational speech to the boys. He couldn’t understand that students compete to go to the Ivy League----he thought that it was just like the old days: you want to go to Yale? Just go, then!</p>

<p>It may not be very competitive but it does not say they accept ALL such students who apply.</p>

<p>I’m not sure I’d want one of those people working on my teeth, though . . . .</p>

<p>UF Dental School a couple of years ago: 1800 applications for 80 places.</p>

Have you ever gone to a museum and seen the instruments and techniques used in dentistry 100 years ago? It can make one shiver (but I guess so do the modern ones).</p>
