<p>In response to the question ‘what does pre-professional mean?’ - when people say that, I don’t really get it either but I do kind of know how to define it by saying what it’s not. I have always understood it to mean that a lot of the kids don’t plan on going into academia and other intellectual fields. It’s less ‘rich mahogany and leather-bound books’ than other schools. </p>
<p>That is what I have come to understand pre-professional as. If that applies to Penn - I have no idea. I don’t go there.</p>
