True/False: Penn is very pre-professional

<p>I don’t want to add to the discussion too much, but the Penn Undergrad Class of 2011 Career Survey is interesting:</p>

<p>Penn does a great job of tracking its graduates. I’m a bit surprised to note that, of the Penn grads (across all schools) that are employed, 52% of them are going into finance/consulting. </p>

<p>Given that Penn has a nursing school, communications school, liberal arts college, etc., having 52% of employed graduates going into finance/consulting is surprising. Penn has a much wider array of undergrad schools than, say, Yale or Brown, but 52% of the employed grads are off to finance/consulting jobs. This is a bit higher than I expected. </p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>
