Again, be careful about drawing conclusions and generalizing about which school would be “better” based on what you’ve learned as a high school student.</p>
<p>Obviously, Penn has a strong preprofessional component. But that doesn’t rule out it’s also having a strong–and even larger–liberal arts component. The College of Arts and Sciences is more than 1 1/2 times larger than all 3 of the other undergraduate schools COMBINED. And, as I previously pointed out, many of Penn’s liberal arts departments are ranked among the best in the country. Don’t be swayed by simplisitc generalizations or stereotypes about one school or another. The liberal arts are very strong at Penn; in fact, among the strongest in the country. The additional presence of strong professional schools only serves to enhance the diversity, breadth, and depth of the undergraduate experience at Penn, NOT detract from it.</p>
