Thank you for your comments everyone. I think another part of it was inaccessible profs, the INTENSE club recruitment scene (that’s right, you can’t just a join a club at Penn, you have to apply and go through a rigorous application process to get in), and just the entitled sense of kids there. I’m just nervous that it will open up more job opportunities and I won’t be as successful when I graduate, a concern that is mitigated by the fact that there is no difference in outcomes who were accepted to Ivy League schools. It’s still weighing on me though so anyone else who knows someone struggling with the same thing, send them here!
