Penn’s Religious Studies Department has long been ranked as one of the top 10 in the country.

But these are both great schools with equivalent academic reputations, and you should choose based on personal preference and fit assuming that you get accepted to both. I wouldn’t get too concerned about the rankings of particular departments or programs at this level, and especially as an undergraduate.

Keep in mind that the regular decision acceptance rate for both schools is extremely low (less than 10% for Penn), and even with the best statistics, admissions are basically a crap shoot.
