@45 Percenter it used to be the case the acceptance rate at SEAS was a bit higher than CAS but the admissions office has said that applications for SEAS has more than doubled over the last two three years so probably the SEAS acceptance rate is a bit lower than CAS. Also for sure it is lower than overall penn ac. For the class of 2017 SEAS was 11.7 while overall acceptance rate was 12.1%. So for the class of 2018 SEAS acceptance rate was prob around 9.6/9.7% and for the class of 2019 is prob gonna be around 9%if the trend continues. ( overall penn acceptance rate will probably be 9.3-9.5)
@ThePariah if you care about the money penn engineering graduates have the sixth highest average salary in the country and wharton the 12th higher ( which would be higher if the bonuses were taken into account since so many go into banking which has very high bonuses) if you like science id day go for SEAS you will probably get a more substantial education than in wharton and had access to the same job opportunities as everyone else at penn. Seas grads do very well in jobs recruiting. If not so much into science try wharton or penn econ( which is also great, top 10 ranked, great rep, and ppl in it do very well in business recruiting too) also you shouldn’t hesitate from applying to wharton because you think it is too competitive. yeah 20 years ago it was much easier to get into seas or cas than wharton but nowadays the difference quite small so if u are gonna go for seas or cas you might as well go for wharton. But either way you cannot really go wrong with any of the three schools.
