<p>i’m not a stanford personall, but have you seen the penn area? It is pretty dangerous. Plus, the research done at stanford is a little bit more than penn. You have to understand that if a private school accepts only 7% from applicant pool and let’s say (stanford) accepts 10%, that really doesn’t show that penn is better in anyway. In fact, private schools just have that priviledge. Even the lowest ranked private school (and I’m not saying the school is bad b/c you make what you can from your education) can have a 5% admission rate.</p>
