<p>Lovemom,</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is that most Penn students would have matriculated at HYPS if they had been accepted, however, that is not to say that there aren’t some highly qualified students who love Penn more than any other school in the world and would have turned down HYPS regardless. </p>
<p>Penn students as a mass need to stop fretting over these rankings. Ultimately rankings are not objective holistic measures of a schools performance, especially per field of study. You shouldn’t need to smash rankings to prove that your daughter isn’t some ivy league sideshow to the HYPS extravaganza.</p>
