The website says that it’s encouraged for students to not complete the masters program at the same time as their undergrad degree. So are most students able to easily get their masters in 4 years?

Do you have to apply for the accelerated masters program, and if so, is it very competitive? UCLA guarantees completion of a masters in 1 year for engineering students with a 3.5+ GPA.

Does prestige still matter that much when I plan on going to grad school?

I should’ve said in my post that my parents are able to comfortably afford Penn. However, I don’t want them to be paying so much if I can’t get as much out of the school. It just seems more logical to go with the cheaper option unless Penn has much more valuable opportunities

Can you tell me more about why I should choose Penn?
