<p>I guess you never know until you are there (harvard/yale)…if I were you I would stray away from saying that Yale/columbia/MIt/etc will place me in better grad programs because I think those said schools would probably consider themselves peer schools and would be skeptical that you just aren’t using your Penn resources enough. If it is a social issue at Penn, then focus on it in an emotional light and you might influence the admissions for ivy to ivy transfer…however, don’t come off as “my privileged ivy brethren don’t treat me as well as your privileged ivy students will.” </p>
<p>In the end best of luck to you</p>
