It seems like the competitive summer high school programs on Penn’s campus helps towards admissions, but I’m not how much. It seemed like several of my friends all attended the LBW program during high school.

Rank is pretty important at selective schools like Penn. This is an older statistic, but “ninety-four percent of the students admitted for Fall 2013 came from the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class”.

Penn has a good balance between liberal arts students and STEM field students, which obviously depends on the undergraduate school that you’re applying for (College of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Nursing, Wharton).
