<p>UPenn is not worth 10K more than Pomona as the schools are virtually identical in selectivity, graduate school placement, and caliber of the student body.</p>
<p>“intending to study either Neuroscience or Psychology.”

<p>“I am not a party person -a non-drinker-. I know it sounds a little boring, but it is as such. I cannot say I am a quite or a very social person in general, because it depends on the environment; that is why I do not know what I’m looking for exactly, but for sure I would prefer a place where is easy to make friends.”</p>
<p>Pomona is perfect then. It’s an extremely well-balanced place with an equal mixture of both the social and the non-social types. Pomona students tend to be more friendly and open minded. UPenn has a huge social scene, one of the largest of the Ivy League. </p>
<p>“But ,being famous for its business and economics programs, UPenn may not be a good choice for such a major.”</p>
<p>UPenn is one of the most pre-professional top schools. Pomona is not very pre-professional at all. Which do you prefer? It seems you’re not a pre-professional type.</p>
