That is a myth that is overly exaggerated. Sure, it is good to be careful about who you trust and make friends with, but it is absolutely not impossible to make good friends in Wharton and at Penn in general (remember, not everyone at Penn is in Wharton and the students in all the undergrad schools mix together socially). Of course you will meet people who will have no trouble stepping all over you to get a good job (as you will at any top school), but those are the kind of people you just learn to stay away from, or learn to play their game when around them. However, I have noticed these people are not the ones to get the best jobs anyways.

There is a lot of pressure built up among classmates, but this is not a bad thing. It is only preparing you for what you will face after graduation.
