Why is Penn so staggeringly bad at marketing itself to applicants?

lots of ppl go to penn for other things besides wharton. i have tons of non-wharton friends, who go for research opportunities, location, honors programs, dual degree options etc. etc.

i don’t know how u came up w/ the best undergrad programs. penn, yes. columbia and princeton? not in my opinion.

but, as i mentioned earlier, no problems w/ ivy status w/ penn. i usually just tell ppl i’m going 2 penn (i’m studying at the wharton school) and people always congratulate me profusely, so i don’t know where u got yr info from but i would just worry about getting in, at this point.
