<p>How are the science programs at UPenn? Specifically Chemistry and Physics. How do they compare with the other Ivy League Schools and top science schools?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>They are not as strong as Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech, or Cornell, but definitely stronger than, say, Brown. See <a href=“Registered & Protected by MarkMonitor”>Registered & Protected by MarkMonitor; and <a href=“Registered & Protected by MarkMonitor”>Registered & Protected by MarkMonitor;

<p>Physics is one of the stronger areas at UPenn, however:</p>

<p>Google Nigel Lockyer. I had him for freshmen physics. The guy’s absolutely brilliant. He’s also a leading particle physicist.</p>

<p>Though Penn isn’t the best in the sciences, the school also gives you a very good liberal arts background. If you’re interested in chemistry, you should also check out the Vagelos Scholars Program in Molecular Life Sciences.</p>
