Penn or Vassar

@Westmere

My firsthand knowledge is a cousin who goes there. He tells me himself that the school is very Wharton-centric and that, despite what the rankings say, students agree that there is little room for the intellectual student. You can copy and paste quotes and statistics from third parties found by typing up a query on an internet search engine, but I have the word of an actual undergrad living the experience. It doesn’t get much more firsthand than that, buddy.

<p>Yes it does, high-school-junior (which is what Westmere is) “buddy.” I happen to be a Penn alum, visit the campus often, know current Penn students and recent alumni, and am very much in touch with what goes on there.</p>

<p>Furthermore, Penn has 10,000 undergraduates, of which only about 1850 are in Wharton. Your cousin’s personal subjective opinion notwithstanding, the sheer volume of liberal arts students and the numerous liberal arts departments ranked by experts among the best in the country, tend to undercut the idea that Penn is “very Wharton-centric.”</p>

<p>You should spend more time trying to learn the real facts about schools, instead of trying to authoritatively opine about them from your high school junior’s vantage point.</p>
