PENN LPS

Colleges & Universities University of Pennsylvania
10

From the moment I submitted the application, the whole process took 5 weeks. I received an invitation for an interview about 3 weeks in.

LPS students and CAS students receive the same diploma, but they are very different and very distinguishable.

  1. LPS financial aid is peanuts compared to CAS
  2. LPS students CAN NOT take classes during the day that are outside their intended major
  3. LPS students CAN NOT take classes in the other schools on the LPS tuition rate. They must pay the full tuition of the class from the other school.
  4. LPS is made for non traditional students (military veterans, etc)
  5. LPS students CAN NOT play varsity sports
  6. Penn in general is really iffy about transferring credits over. The individual departments evaluate credits instead of the registrar. So these individual departments have absolutely no problem denying you classes. Wharton (who give credit for business courses) flat our rejects any class taken at Community College.

I put a lot of negatives up there, but being in Penn LPS is a dream though. But, I like to make sure everyone makes an informed decision about attending.
