<p>I’m baffled by wharton90’s statement about useless classes. How can an intermediate accounting course be useless to anyone with business and (possibly finance) as their career goal? Anyway I digress. Penn is rigorous. The students are generally very smart and often career focused. They don’t need to be cutthroat and they mostly aren’t. There’s a lot to be said in favor of focusing at the positive aspects of student life then searching for low points.</p>
