This game started on July 13

I have to admit that I like all of the last five schools, so whoever ends up in the top spot… early congrats!

1Rachel94 · August 15, 2012, 8:35pm

I’m done voting. Duke+Brown>all of the rest. (they’re great schools if you want to be able to choose what courses you take because there aren’t any required ones) Out of genuine curiosity, why do you guys like UPenn so much?

(Princeton and Columbia I understand.)

I didn’t mean it like that. I know it’s a great school. I just want to know why it’s your first choice? (Like what sets it apart?)

UPenn’s always gonna have to deal with that non-big three, ancient eight status. Even though it was established six years prior to Princeton.

I feel as though UPenn’s got a great business program but Princeton’s better all-around. UPenn’s a great school, don’t get me wrong (I was accepted there but just decided to go with the better fit), but somehow it’s got that “little brother” status to the Big Three in the eyes of the people.

Ivyt · August 16, 2012, 2:07am

Well every ivy that isn’t HPY gets stuck with the “lower ivy” status

ptontiger16 · August 16, 2012, 2:14am

Amen to that. But you can’t really blame people with some of the stereotypes going around. UPenn’s is the forgotten Ivy, most grade inflation…

I know Penn’s an awesome school. I know it’s an Ivy. I meant what sets it apart other than it’s greatness? (I got my answer.)

I have nothing against it, I just voted it down because it stayed in first place the whole time. I don’t have anything against any of these schools
