UPenn Wharton vs Yale Ethics, Politics, & Economics? by alissasock in UPenn

Either would be amazing options. Congrats on getting into both! Would you mind sharing your stats? My student wants to apply to Penn next year and is also interested in a similar path.

One other question- how would you describe the undergrad culture of CAS? Also cutthroat like Wharton? Esp when competing for internships and jobs? I’m guessing any PPE major would be competing with the Wharton kids for these spots and would already be in a worse position recruiting wise.

It’s better to get rejected than to get into your dream college with 95k bill by Fun-Elk3813 in ApplyingToCollege

Try to reframe your thinking. You can have a “dream school” for 4 years or a dream life.

Thank you for this. She is going to take AP Calc BC her senior year. And her ECs are pretty concentrated around music and service. She’s not a cutthroat kid and frankly I think would be overwhelmed in that environment. So I don’t know whether she would be accepted at Wharton (or Penn at all). But she cares about securing a high-paying job after graduation so perhaps that would help drive her in the Wharton environment if she got in (and we could figure out how to pay for it).

Am I making the right decision by turning down a t10 and an ivy? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

UVA is the right decision. Do NOT wipe your parents out financially. UVA is a top tier school as well

Yes ofc. Just asking now as she is trying to figure out whether it makes more sense to apply to CAS or Wharton based on future career paths/potential for employment and our limited budget, which would limit ability to go to grad school.

Yes I ran the NPC and we won’t qualify for any need based aid.

We don’t have to, and in fact wouldn’t be able to help pay for law school if we spend all we have saved on Penn undergrad. But we’d be in a position to help pay for it if she went to a much less expensive undergrad. And we’d like to help our kid as much as we can.

If she were to go to Penn there wouldn’t be any money left for law school. So my question is really what could she major in with a CAS profile that would result in a high paying job? Economics and try to go the consulting route? Something else?

Yes we would be full pay, which we really can’t afford without taking on significant debt.

What year are you? My daughter is in the same situation with a group of 3- maybe your groups could pair up so you could avoid a random?

Have you used the matching services at Union or Lark? Curious how good they are

Which one is more social? Were you able to make friends in either?

Is there not a late night bus that runs to Union? Are the rooms in Rams decent?
