Penn vs Yale

<p>Has somebody done analysis Penn vs Yale? Advantages and disadvantages of studying there and future chances for the best grad school and professional life after graduation.</p>

<p>“Advantages and disadvantages of studying there and future chances for the best grad school and professional life after graduation.”
It depends on how hard you work. The school is only there for a place for you to work, your the one that actually has to do the work. Also “the best grad school” is personal, I see different grad school as the best. Look at this, I see Wharton MBA as good as Harvard MBA, some people disagree. I see that Caltech engineering is better than the Ivies’ in some categories, some people disagree. It’s personal. They are going to prepare you just as well. No one has a correct answer cause quite frankly, no one goes to both school at the same time. Little to no Penn kids transfer to Yale because Yale doesn’t like transfer applicants. And few people really transfer between top schools, especially Ivies.</p>

<p>Yale ugrad> Penn ugrad
Penn Med> Yale Med
Penn Business> Yale Business
Yale Law> Penn Law</p>

<p>But I still <3 Penn ugrad, even though Yale definitely wins on snob-appeal.</p>

<p>i believe in avoiding absolutes. “Yale ugrad> Penn ugrad” well it depends on the person and on what u make of the experience. i encourage u to look at a past penn vs. yale thread. it might give u some perspective. i certainly wouldn’t have not gone to yale if i thought that i was in any way damaging my chances to be successful and giving myself a worse education. i like that i’ll be a wharton major and then probably do work in the college. i like the campus. i think that’s where i can succeed. see the penn cc penn vs. yale thread for more info.</p>

<p>Because both of the schools are ranked highly, have a great name, and are in the Ivy League, I am pretty sure either can potentially give you the opportunity to succeed… However, as others have said before, it depends on how hard you work and your stats by the end of your undergraduate experience. Also, maybe you should look at more than just after professional life. Look into some of the unique clubs Penn has or visa versa. Something more should draw you in. Good luck!</p>

<p>There is more of a career-oriented feeling at Penn.
Both schools are great though, but it really, ultimately, depends on what you are looking for at a school. Majors? Size? I would suggest doing a college visit.</p>

<p>AABoston: I think you should visit Penn (if possible) and if not possible, ask yourself what you’re interested in and then see what you can do at Penn with that. Unique interests tend to be conducive to unique opportunities at Penn : )</p>
