No, that’s anti-Penn FUD.

The only thing you can’t do is reserve private study rooms in Huntsman Hall–you can reserve private study rooms at Van Pelt, or use any of the public study rooms.

Except for MGMT-100, you can take any Wharton class (and since almost nobody likes MGMT-100, you’re not missing much). Conversely, Wharton students can take almost every SAS class (with the exception of HIST-2xx level courses). SAS students can take classes in Wharton, Law, Annenberg, Nursing, SEAS…

Penn and Wharton students all have the same job recruiting process and both schools fare very well (so does SEAS, for that matter).

Maybe it was true a decade or so ago that Wharton students had super powers over SAS students. But times have changed.

Percy is right, though. If you want undergraduate business and don’t get into Penn Wharton, then NYU Stern should be your next choice, not Penn SAS.

Now I would recommend against undergraduate business in general, but that’s another story…
