Honestly, with what you have said, it appears that business matters most. yes, a solid undergrad is good but i dont think its fair to simply say that Upenn doesnt compare. its in philadelphia which will easily put you in a much more worldly environment than the bustling metropolis that is palo alto. i’ve personally heard great reviews about int. relations at penn (isnt there a rumor that the declaration of independace was signed there or something ). Upenn because of its history and location, has AMAZING keynote speakrs every year, mostly famous politicians and the such (government ~ int relations? )

but you’re right about stanford and engineering…few other schools compare but engineering is 3rd on you list.

i dont know who you are or what type of environment you want to be in.

stanford’s cohesive environment that fosters this “solid broad base undergrad education” can be greatly attributed to the univerisity bubble that students live in. when in school, many are wraped up in the SCHOOL itself and little else.

any other post on any of these threads about students who are trying to debate between amazing schools (par example: harvard v. stanford / cornell v. dartmouth / georgetown v. UPenn), you will see the same thing over and over again for responses…go where you will be most happy because academically, all of these schools are, as i’ve said, amazing. if you look past classes, professors, research, and so on, consider how content you will be at the schools you have been accepted into.

i hope this helped. you must be a stellar student and person and etc. make the most of what ever you choose.

good luck!!
