“You’ll come to find out that a huge majority of penn comes from extremely wealthy backgrounds…”

I doubt a “huge majority” come from extremely wealthy backgrounds…40% of Penn acceptees got an average aid package of $27,000…so that’s 60% who are not on aid. Not everyone who’s paying full-freight is “extremely wealthy” (or they might be but you wouldn’t really know it…rich and spoiled are different). I’m paying the full price (and I didn’t apply for aid), yet I wouldn’t consider myself extremely wealthy. My wardrobe consists of stuff like Banana Republic, A/X, Gap, Urban Outfitters and a couple pairs of Diesel jeans…sure, above-average brands, but not on the level that you listed. I think you’re overplaying it and painting an extremely preppy picture of a typical top private (non-engineering) school.
