University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) (2023-2024)

[random wedge]

And brown has too many prompts

Pton is ok, and Cornell is pretty short and easy if ur enthusiastic about ur college

I would list out every supp and do a few a day, it’s achievable but it will be stressful

But if you have other schools then gg you will be super stressed, I don’t even have all of the ivies left I’ve got a few left and some other schools and I’m super stressed so plan everything out and get a lot done each day

Oh didn’t mention yale, this one took a while for me ngl good essays are key

[upper zealot]

Just be smart about when and how u write

[buoyant spire]

i did 5 in a week so you have time

[hybrid skiff]

[stoic owl]

[stoic owl]

that's not funky that's just normal

B)

i'll just do what kvd suggested

that'll work great

[digital bramble]

Once u get in hill dining apparently

Build up food poisoning resistance like me and ur set

[bold onyx]

hill is better than commons

[stoic owl]

the fact that there are apparently two food poisoning dining halls does not make me enthusiastic

[digital bramble]

How bad is it

[bold onyx]

both are ass

[digital bramble]

Itll be my first destination

[bold onyx]

i havent eaten dinner at either in months

[digital bramble]

As long as it’s better than high school lunch

[bold onyx]

[gray pasture]

Was tuition good ?

[gray pasture]

I get angry and happy with light finals

It’s like I studied that much for this

But at the same time it’s great

[burnt osprey]

Ngl I didn’t study properly so I’m glad but I was so stressed for what

[tender kiln]

nah i don’t fw charity

jk

idk abt classes i’m sure there are some but there are a lot more clubs that do

[faint badger]

theres one where u can tutor kids from philly schools

[tender kiln]

like i know there’s an engineering one who’s name is slipping rn and there’s a couple of college ones

and then there’s like the big brothers big sisters club

where u become a big brother/sister for some elementary student in philly

[random wedge]

oh thats so cool

i talked a lot about that kinda thing in my essays

[tender kiln]

🔥

[random wedge]

does penn like applicants who do a lot of community work?

[random wedge]

yesss

[tender kiln]

yeah

[velvet basin]

idk a school that doesn't tho

[tender kiln]

wait lemme change back to college student

[velvet basin]

[tender kiln]

penn likes a lot

because we give u a grade on it!

thats why i think i got into penn and not orher ivies

but idk

[velvet basin]

[sly gust]

Who did you guys write your thank you letter to?

[gray pasture]

[upper zealot]

🤓

[random wedge]

my twin

[digital bramble]

My childhood best friend

[timid shale]

are huntsman admits usually more international affairs or business-oriented?

thats so cute omg

[civic elbow]

yoooo u also doing huntsman?

[timid shale]

yessssss

we are applying to so much of the same stuff 😭

[civic elbow]

afaik there is only a language quota

i dont think it matters if you have more interest in 1 or the other

[timid shale]

ok thats good then, I have a good app for international affairs but literally nothing for business

and huntsman is so competitive omg

[civic elbow]

im the opposite 💀

im basically only finance but i have nsli Y at least

and i think ill have my thank you note referencing like language abilities I built up, so hopefully they like that 😭

[timid shale]

ooooo im a nsliy alum too, which language did you do?

[civic elbow]

chinese

[timid shale]

nice i did russian

[civic elbow]

im just gonna talk about how china is good for international buisness and blah blah in my essay

[timid shale]

i feel like writing the essay about china would be rly cool because of how business and politics intersect there

[civic elbow]

ye ye

[vagrant grotto]

Can I still double major even if I’m not in one of those programs? I’m in Wharton and I’m wondering if I’m forced to double major within my school or if I can also get one in the Liberal Arts one

[barren granite]

hello!

[supple granite]

Apply!!!!

[barren granite]

i ammmm i'm so excited

[frigid seal]

i submitted today! hoping to be your future classmate

[supple granite]

I'll see you there gang

[bold onyx]

no double majors, u can dual degree but its hella work. u can double concentrate in wharton easily tho

[vagrant grotto]

Wait what’s dual degree

[hollow birch]

any tips on writing the penn essays? currently hitting a writer's block on these

[barren granite]

same lol

[native pasture]

Yall HELP who should I write my letter too

[hollow birch]

I chose to write it to my gradmothher because she was an integral part of my early life. In general try to avoid parents because loads of people are going to write theirs to their parents

[hazy merlin]

I wouldn’t say that

[random wedge]

how much work? Like many classes a semester, taking classes over the summer?

[hazy merlin]

There’s essentially nothing original in terms of ideas if you’re writing your parents I’d just have a different take

[hollow birch]

theres nothing wrong with writing about parents, but it's a common pitfall coming off as generic

[native pasture]

Aight thanks you gave me some ideas also W pfp btw

[frigid seal]

well if you are saying to avoid smth to attempt to be unique then avoid any family member, teacher, or sibling because legit everyone writes to those

[digital bramble]

maybe unpopular opinion but i dont think being generic is an issue for those

like i literally wrote to my friend

[native pasture]

I'm thinking of doing it on a founder for a local nonprofit I've been in since 6th grade she's like a parent to me almost tho lol

[digital bramble]

i thought the point of the essay is that you're actually able to show sincere gratitude and appreciation for someone who helped u get to where u are today

theres 2 other essays to distinguish urself and make urself unique...its not a bad thing to write abt ur parents

and i saw ppl saying u can seem "unique" by writing to like someone u met once or a random stranger u had a convo with but that defeats the whole purpose of "send it to this person and reflect on it"

[frigid seal]

i dont think so either but at the same time im basically saying that writing to a grandparent isnt any more unique than writing to a parent or sibling

everything is common

as long as ur sincere it doesnt matter

[digital bramble]

exactly

if everything is common why bother going out of ur way to find someone uncommon to write abt when u could write a more sicnere letter to a generic subject

u have a 650 word common app and 2 supplenetals to make urself stand out

[frigid seal]

thats a great idea but the person whom u write it to doesnt matter too much tbh

[native pasture]

I 100% agree. This is why so many people avoid the immigrant story but it's still a very common experience people go through. I wouldn't say someone's life experience is "generic" per say. It's in the execution I think.

[frigid seal]

just make sure the passion shows through

[digital bramble]

literallyyy

[native pasture]

Ohhhh ok 👍

[frigid seal]

i wrote to my taekwondo teacher lmao

[digital bramble]

this is literally what they say

[frigid seal]

def not unique but i wrote from the heart

[digital bramble]

the whole point is to show that u can be humble grateful and not a stuck up person

[digital bramble]

thats all that matters

[frigid seal]

^

penn doesnt want yappers hence all their supps have small word counts

[digital bramble]

ong

[marsh mason]

I'll probably write to my coach

[frigid seal]

omg horrible mispelling

[native pasture]

Are u in Penn rn?

[frigid seal]

ignore that yall

😭

[digital bramble]

like imo dont try to circumvent that essay and choose a more unique subject for the exchange ofm aking it less sincere

[digital bramble]

no

[frigid seal]

cornell def wants yappers

[digital bramble]

i applied ed ill be there next year 😭

[marsh mason]

yngmi now..

[frigid seal]

650 word why us is insane

[native pasture]

Literally tho

[digital bramble]

princeton wants yappers too

[marsh mason]

bro

[frigid seal]

georgetown wants mega mega yappers

[marsh mason]

i havent even started on penn or cornell tbh

i should start soon

[frigid seal]

2 full page essays, 1 half page essay, and 1 250 word supp yall 😭 shit legit took forever to finish

[digital bramble]

nothing wil lever beat penn state's 15 essay yapload

[native pasture]

I need to start on brown and Penn too lol

[digital bramble]

15 essays, like 2 800 words a handful of 500s and a bunch of 250-350

[marsh mason]

im nearing the end of hahvahd simply cuz idk what other edits I can make, and I'm scared to start other schools

I feel like I can frankenstein a lot of what I already said though

so that's a relief

[digital bramble]

now or never

[marsh mason]

tomorrow*

i've done enough for today

[native pasture]

Ong I'm also just tight on time bcs these extracurriculars are going crazy lol

[hollow birch]

no

[hollow birch]

lock in

[marsh mason]

I KNOW RIGHT

[hollow birch]

don't wait for tomorrow

[marsh mason]

no

lol

i've been here for 4 hours

im done

[frigid seal]

penn was one of my favorite to write omg so easy and short and only 3 essays. brown is horrible with 7 essays so idk if ima even apply anymore

[hollow birch]

theres no such thing as tomorrow if you never sleep

[digital bramble]

brown bsmd was horrific

i dont think i even finished writing those

[hollow birch]

tbh harvard was fun to write

[marsh mason]

dont lie to yourself

[native pasture]

Ong also the video portfolio??? 💀

[digital bramble]

didnt write a single harvard essay i was kinda sad cus i wanted to do roommate essay

[marsh mason]

harvard is very straightforward and generic

[hollow birch]

the roommate one was fun

[marsh mason]

except the roommate one

but even that one isn't that quirky

its just a list

[hollow birch]

nah stanford has the exact same lmao

[digital bramble]

uchicago were my fav to write

[marsh mason]

no

[frigid seal]

bro some other schools are adding it too 😭 like duke apparently has one now

[marsh mason]

stanford and harvard roommate essays are different

[hollow birch]

hmm interesting

[marsh mason]

the intended audience is the key difference

[native pasture]

Omg I'm going there next year for a college summer program, maybe I should apply

[frigid seal]

im writing my harvard essays rn (most r copypaste from stanford)

[digital bramble]

u should

i realy like uchicago

[hollow birch]

as in the harvard one is to a roomate and stanford one is more towards the aos?

[native pasture]

I made the script but idk how to edit at ALL

[frigid seal]

would that have been ur ed2

[digital bramble]

probably not

[marsh mason]

other way around

[frigid seal]

they dont care about the quality of the editing and camera its all about the content

[marsh mason]

stanford is a letter to the roommate, harvard is just a list of three things your roommate may want to know about you

[hollow birch]

true

[digital bramble]

who was in the same major as me and i made it my mission to find him if i ever got in

[hollow birch]

did you drastically change the points you talked about then

[native pasture]

True but I literally have no pictures of me doing any of my extracurriculars so I feel like it'll hurt me

[digital bramble]

i didnt either

my video portfolio had a selfie of me dressed up as gojo

and like tumbling down a ski slope

and also backflipping onto my face

im sure they loved it

[marsh mason]

not the points, just who you're talking to

[digital bramble]

and then i closed it off with me doing a money spread with the stickers i grabbed from the campus tour

[native pasture]

That seems so fun I've been trying to make mine not so formal bcs I've been seeing a lot of casual ones on YT and they're still very good

[digital bramble]

mine was literally so unserious 😭 i edited it a lil though to make it flow better

[digital bramble]

omg this was my logic too like i think casual is better because then u can show them what ur actually like

[frigid seal]

wait u did allat for an rd school?

[native pasture]

Exactly they're tryna gauge your personality

[digital bramble]

ea

and then i withdrew 2 days before the decision release

i was planing to use the same video for brown and edit the parts where i tlaked abt chicago

[frigid seal]

brown has ea?

[digital bramble]

uchicago ea

then reuse the video for brown rd

[frigid seal]

ohhh ok

[native pasture]

What are yalls majors going to be?

[digital bramble]

molecular bio or hsoc

[frigid seal]

bs in econ at wharton ill prolly concentrate in finance

[native pasture]

You guys can do it!!

[frigid seal]

meeshat alr did

but yea we can do it!

[digital bramble]

😭

real

ill see u in april

or whever quaker day is

[tender kiln]

nah you can’t unfortunately

[olive haven]

i wouldn’t say avoid generic people, i wrote to my older brother and it is definitely very common to write to older siblings and i still got in

[tender kiln]

wharton ppl can only dual degree uncoordinated or otherwise

[olive haven]

creativity is what matters

[tender kiln]

yeah if anything i think most of the admitted ppl here wrote to someone generic

[digital bramble]

yep

[tender kiln]

best friend or sibling or parent or teacher

[olive haven]

comp sci and maybe a double major/minor in economics or astronomy

[digital bramble]

i wouldnt risk circumventing it and writing abt smth quirky tbh

😭

[olive haven]

yeah def 😭

[digital bramble]

i saw someone asking if they should write to themselve

😭

[olive haven]

no don’t

please don’t

[digital bramble]

like i seen ppl say it as a joke but i also saw someone thinking that seriosuly

[tender kiln]

there’s smth cool abt uniqueness but smth just as cool abt a genuine connection with someone close to u 🤷‍♂️

[digital bramble]

yuh

[tender kiln]

oh wow

thats um

[digital bramble]

after all ur stories with that person r unqiue so

[faint badger]

i hate that i want to rewrite my essays but i cant cuz deferred

[digital bramble]

ONG LIKE HOW DOES THE POINT SAIL OVER UR HEAD THAT BADLY

[tender kiln]

yeah

[olive haven]

people who wrote their letters to themselves are so cocky

[digital bramble]

i dont think anyone actually did that like it was a joke right

[olive haven]

i hope so 😭

[digital bramble]

oop

[olive haven]

NO

the cat is better ig 😭

but def write to a real person pls

[digital bramble]

i wouldnt write to a pet either

😭

but its better than urself! right

[olive haven]

[pearl ice]

Hello guys

[bold onyx]

two degrees at once, it’s what all the big programs are (huntsman, m&t, lsm, etc)

its hella work though and usually not worth the effort (unless ur in an established dual degree program like the ones just mentioned)

[bold onyx]

like 6-7 classes a semester depending on if ur doing coordinated or uncoordinated and how many credits u come in with. usually not worth unless ur in one of the named programs

[digital bramble]

quick question

as a domestic student am i still able to apply for financial aid even though the deadline passed

[bold onyx]

did you check yes on the financial aid box?

[digital bramble]

i dont think i did

becuase i didnt think id get any aid

[digital bramble]

[frigid seal]

i am now on the job market

[digital bramble]

i was a lifeguard

[frigid seal]

ice cream shop worker (i made poverty money)

[digital bramble]

how much

[native pasture]

I've had like 5 jobs all seasonal 😅

[digital bramble]

i literally sat in a chair and got 16.50 an hour

[frigid seal]

9.50 base but with tips around 13-14

[bold onyx]

ight i gtg to sleep i have something early in morning just dm if u have questions

[digital bramble]

they bumped it to 18 because lifeguarding was such an unsavory job that nobody wanted to do it

[faint badger]

tfw my base is higher than ur total

[digital bramble]

some kids would pull up and drag the training mat out then take a fat 4 hour nap

get paid like 60 something bucks for sleeping

and then go hoem

[native pasture]

Bruhhhh

[frigid seal]

i mean the only reason i work there is bc its walking distance

i cant drive still

[digital bramble]

get yo lciense

[frigid seal]

my options are quite limited

[gray estuary]

at least yall have jobs

[digital bramble]

i thinj jobs will help a lot wiht ur app

[gray estuary]

real contributors to society

[frigid seal]

im too lazy but i fr need to start rn bc once i turn 18 its joever

[digital bramble]

for some reason kids these days dont have jobs anymore

[frigid seal]

i didnt put mine in my top 10 but its on my resume

[digital bramble]

its always internship internship like why dont u go WORK

[gray estuary]

i could never contribute to society postively

[native pasture]

Really? Everyone I know has one lol

[digital bramble]

so many kids at my school gunnign for top shcools have just never had work experience

idk if paid internship counts but i feel like it used to be a very common high school thing especially once u can drive

[frigid seal]

in t20 admissions a customer service job is far rarer than most ppl think

[digital bramble]

and now its ot

[frigid seal]

lots of them are rich kids

[digital bramble]

yeah

[frigid seal]

who dont know the real world

[digital bramble]

never had to worjk a day in their lives

[frigid seal]

having a job shows ur down to earth

[digital bramble]

i lifeguarded and ran my art business on the side for passive income

😔

[native pasture]

Danggg a lot of people help their parents pay their bills so maybe it's different. Also I go to a trade school so most of us don't go to college at all 💀

[frigid seal]

i had paid internships but working was lowk fun

like once u get used to it

tbf it was the summer so didnt have shit else to do

[digital bramble]

trade school is lowkey such a good deal

like trade jobs have really high pay cus demand

i need to be employed again

[frigid seal]

job apps are sometimes more frustrating than college apps

[digital bramble]

i should work at a pet shop

[frigid seal]

Guys for Huntsman, can I still apply if my second langauge is my native language?

Does the language have to be a non-native langauge?

[random wedge]

That sucks so much

[tranquil dagger]

all the writing supps are ass

maybe i just hate writing lol

any point of sending a resume over if its just your ECs?

[random wedge]

I don’t personally but if your resume goes into depth about a certain ec and you weren’t able to convey that on common app I would use it

[hazy merlin]

ApplyingToCollege

[vagrant grotto]

ah that sucks

[lean quiver]

i would apply for a dual degree

but im so fucking lazy

i dont wanan write 650 words

maybe once im in college

[bold onyx]

there is very little u can do with a dual degree than you cant do without a single degree

plus if u do come in with the credits it’s probably a better choice to do single degree + accelerated masters

[burnt osprey]

Dude accelerated masters sounding more and more appealing ngl

[marsh mason]

I've always wondered why people get dual degrees

[burnt osprey]

At Penn the coordinated dual degree programs have a lot of other perks

And special opportunities and networking things

[lean quiver]

ah so penn makes it wroth it

while most colleges dont

[random wedge]

Are dual majors a better idea compared to getting an uncoordinated dual degree?

[burnt osprey]

Double majors are generally easier to do

So imo yes

[random wedge]

Oh, do you have to apply for those? If one is in Wharton?

[burnt osprey]

I don’t believe you need to for double majors

But you wouldn’t get a Wharton degree

If that makes sense

Wait

Idt you can do a double@major with Wharton

Only a dual degree

I could be wrong

[bold onyx]

i think my friend doing accelerated data sci

[burnt osprey]

I only rlly know CAS and seas

[burnt osprey]

Slay

[bold onyx]

ur right

its only dual degree or minor

[random wedge]

Oh ok ty

[bold onyx]

gyatt

doing math at penn is insane 😭

[burnt osprey]

Yeah getting an entire masters in it too

Is insane

[bold onyx]

actually i do hear the upper level math classed are really nice

[random wedge]

The 7 classes seems like hell

[burnt osprey]

You need to love math

[burnt osprey]

Yeah true

[burnt osprey]

Wdym

[bold onyx]

1400 final lowkey touched my butt

[burnt osprey]

Glad I never have to touch calculus at Penn

[random wedge]

Dual degrees with Wharton require 7 classes a sem???

[burnt osprey]

Took my first and only math class this past semester 🙏

[burnt osprey]

Ohhh dual degrees

Yeah that’s hell I could never

[random wedge]

Yuh

Idt it’s worth it even tho I really wanna do it 😭

[burnt osprey]

I mean

You could always drop it if you don’t like it 💀

[bold onyx]

fuck you

[bold onyx]

1300?

[burnt osprey]

STAT 1110

[bold onyx]

its definitely not worth it tbh lol

[bold onyx]

bruh that barely counts as math

not only is it stats, its stat 1110!!!!

ur a liar

[burnt osprey]

Dude it lowkey was rough

I like actually needed to study

Also don’t come at me my hs didn’t do APs

[bold onyx]

really?

my friend took stat 1020 and his final was word for word the study guide

[burnt osprey]

Yeah a lot of my friends were stressing near the end

[bold onyx]

which he was allowed to print and bring to the test 😭😭

[digital bramble]

i will be taking this fr

[burnt osprey]

That’s 1020

I got like

The lowest score on the exam possible to still get an A in the class

So I’m happy but that could’ve been awful

[bold onyx]

yea i thought stat at penn was generally easy from what ive heard of 1020 and 1010 (except 1010 this sem was ass apparently)

[bold onyx]

nerd

[burnt osprey]

I missed the mark for cogsci

I’m currently grade grubbing to try to get an A but it’s looking grim

[bold onyx]

😭😭

[bold onyx]

u get A-?

thats good

bruh

[burnt osprey]

Yeah I have a 91

[burnt osprey]

Nuh uh

I want one semester w a 4 man lmao

[bold onyx]

my grades were ass this sem

[burnt osprey]

It’s ok it’s freshman fall

You’ll be fine

[bold onyx]

dw next sem we get 4.0

[burnt osprey]

Honestly

I might get an A- in Spanish

And that just kills me

It’s legit just because attendance

I hate the Spanish and Portuguese department for their attendance policy

[bold onyx]

idk if my language waiver will waiver the requirement for me

if it doesnt then do i take spanish or turkish (intro)

[burnt osprey]

Isn’t it testing out

Yeah whartons just the one sem you’ll be fine

[bold onyx]

it was for turkish and i didnt test out

2 sem!!!

[burnt osprey]

So jealous

I should’ve tested out of Spanish

[bold onyx]

i got placed into intro 2

[low flame]

Bro is back

[bold onyx]

but i think i could get an easier A in turkish

[lean quiver]

acclerated masters just sounds better

[low flame]

Grind over ig

[lean quiver]

cause cant u get a bachelors in one thing

[burnt osprey]

I got placed at the 300 level w the opportunity to take another test to fully opt out

[lean quiver]

and then a masters in another

[burnt osprey]

Instead I went down a level bc I was insecure

[lean quiver]

as long as u do a dual major

or smth

[bold onyx]

yea but they need to be related im p sure

[burnt osprey]

Yeah that’s what an accelerated masters is

ApplyingToCollege

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[frigid seal]

Oml

[lean quiver]

ofc itd be weird if they werent

[burnt osprey]

There needs to be an overlap in coursework or else you’re not finishing

[lean quiver]

yeah i get it

[burnt osprey]

It’s just hard

Af

[bold onyx]

ye

ill prolly leave again start of next sem lol

[lean quiver]

worth

[burnt osprey]

I need to do this

I honestly considered getting an accelerated masters in educational policy while I was a polisci major

But then I was like

That is way too specific

[bold onyx]

bruhhhh

[burnt osprey]

Idek what I wanna do

[bold onyx]

c o n s u l t i n g

[burnt osprey]

It seems so embarrassing

Telling people “oh I’m a consultant”

That’s so yucky

[bold onyx]

no

bc they dont even know what u do

[burnt osprey]

“I’m unemployed with a PhD” is just sm better

[bold onyx]

u dont even know with u do

[lean quiver]

what💀

[bold onyx]

what r u gonna get a phd in bruh

[vagrant grotto]

If I want to do my masters at Wharton how would that work? Is there a direct process

[frigid seal]

Emre how long is penn break

[burnt osprey]

I’m aiming for a PhD in linguistics

Lol

[lean quiver]

yeah i get it now

[burnt osprey]

It’s longer this year than normal

[bold onyx]

thats an MBA, very different

[bold onyx]

4 weeks this year

[frigid seal]

Thats nice

[lean quiver]

does penn guarantee housing over breaks, or are u just

[frigid seal]

Is it different every year

[burnt osprey]

Liz magill’s one good moment fr

[lean quiver]

left to figure itout

[vagrant grotto]

Accelerated masters?

[burnt osprey]

No

[bold onyx]

there are deferred acceptance programs (Moelis)

[burnt osprey]

You can apply for it

But like

[frigid seal]

Didnt penn president get the sack

[burnt osprey]

It’s a process

Yeah

[lean quiver]

gotchu

[bold onyx]

idt wharton has accelerated masters since that would be an MBA

and accelerated MBA would be useless

[frigid seal]

Harvard president is facing controversy right

[burnt osprey]

I feel like it would be pointless

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[vagrant grotto]

Should I do masters in something else if I still plan to go an MBA?

[bold onyx]

yea it would

[burnt osprey]

Why do an MBA if Wharton undergrad

[frigid seal]

Harvards in the mud thats crazy

[bold onyx]

you could, but dont do a masters for no reason

[burnt osprey]

Also why r u trying to do so much

Multiple masters is silly

[frigid seal]

Do yall think penn can enter t5

[burnt osprey]

Yeah we need to just nuke Yale

[frigid seal]

Idk about that one

[vagrant grotto]

Fair enough…but idk if I want an MBA or go law

[bold onyx]

if ur in wharton u dont need another major/degree for any job in business

[frigid seal]

Yale sucking is prob the biggest chance

[vagrant grotto]

I like to keep my options open 🙂

[burnt osprey]

Neither are mutually exclusive you have time

[bold onyx]

you have a long time to choose :p

[burnt osprey]

You really don’t need to make the decision

[bold onyx]

and if it comes down to it u can do a combined program

[burnt osprey]

Are you in Wharton?

[frigid seal]

In fall 2027 u make that choice

[bold onyx]

mba/jd dual degrees are possible

[burnt osprey]

If you’re in Wharton like don’t worry about an MBA lmao

Just do pre law stuff while at Wharton

And you’re good

[vagrant grotto]

Fair enough. Sorry idk how the college process works. First gen so idk much about MBA, thoguht it was like any ol masters

[burnt osprey]

Nah that’s fair it’s just like

An MBA really isn’t useful if you’re getting a BS from Wharton

[lean quiver]

ur good ur typically not told a lot anyways

[bold onyx]

nah mbas, jds, and mds work a little differently from other masters programs

[vagrant grotto]

Oh really?

[burnt osprey]

Yeah the Wharton undergrad is plenty

[bold onyx]

yea but lowkey all the mba students hype it up since 2 year networking vacation 😭

[burnt osprey]

I would not pay for the MBA

That is not worth the money in my mind

[bold onyx]

especially since some top mba schools agree to not disclose grades so they dont do shit

[vagrant grotto]

Doesn’t salary go up with a MBA

[frigid seal]

Mba directly after undergrad is useless

[bold onyx]

yea it’s definitely not for everyone

[frigid seal]

Get some work experience first then go back

To get ur mba

[vagrant grotto]

I gotchu

[burnt osprey]

Yes but Wharton undergrad is exceptional

[bold onyx]

not necessarily, most of the time you will get a different job/promotion etc which pays more tho

[burnt osprey]

It’s not just any business undergrad

Generally a masters degree does boost ur salary

But like

[low flame]

it is???

[burnt osprey]

In this case it’s not rlly gonna make a difference

[frigid seal]

Whats whartons average starting salary

For undergrad

[vagrant grotto]

I’m curious now

[burnt osprey]

Uh

Lemme check

[lean quiver]

!biggreen

[tropic meadow]

https://i.imgur.com/v0Wc3XA.png

[frigid seal]

Umich ross is actually insane for a public. 99.7% placement rate and 90k average starting salary

[low flame]

sounds like all my vacations 🥱

[vagrant grotto]

It’s easier to ask in here 😔

[low flame]

what does placement rate mean

[frigid seal]

Job

Placement

Like they got a job

[low flame]

like getting a job??

[frigid seal]

Yes

[low flame]

id fucking hope basically everything would get a job LMAO

[frigid seal]

I mean some ppl do their mba or decide they dont want a job or some get sick etc

Theres always gonna be some reasons

99.7 percent is basically everyone

If ur 0.3% then thats honestly a skill issue

[burnt osprey]

Wharton undergrad post graduation starting salary is $85k in 2021 according to Penn website

[frigid seal]

Not bad

[low flame]

you cant just take that number at face value though

it's highly bimodal

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[random wedge]

That’s good

[low flame]

theres gonna be tons of low-pay academia or research or whatever else that doesnt pay well (that people took intentionally) and lots of 120k wall street stuff at the other end as well

[bold onyx]

$100k***

[burnt osprey]

Dream on emre

[low flame]

85 is kinda surprising though

[random wedge]

How likely is it to be a Wharton grad and have your first job pay 150k+?

[low flame]

you guys get soloed by a bunch of other places 💀

and wharton is supposed to be extra elite 💀 💀

[burnt osprey]

I mean not unheard of but be realistic

[gray estuary]

yeah cmon im pretty sure usc has a higher average starting salary

[frigid seal]

I mean some kids nepo powers ran out

[gray estuary]

wharton needs to step it up fr

[frigid seal]

It def doesnt bro and if it does its due to cali inflation

[burnt osprey]

Overall the average starting salary is $80k which isn’t bad but it’s def being carried by some fields

[frigid seal]

💀💀

[burnt osprey]

It’s looking kinda grim for me

[gray estuary]

not overall i mean marshall

my fault brodie

[low flame]

'it def doesnt and if it does...' LMAOO

[gray estuary]

i wasnt familar with your game

[frigid seal]

Wtf georgetowns is 96k

Mcdonough

[bold onyx]

it is $100k

ill send link later

but its from penn

[burnt osprey]

Interesting that the Wharton website would say smth else

Bad marketing on their end

[frigid seal]

https://issuu.com/georgetownmcdonough/docs/gtwn_undergrademploymentreport_2022_final

[bold onyx]

it shows placement numbers in every field / company too

[burnt osprey]

Is it the first career outcomes website

[bold onyx]

not sure

[frigid seal]

I was unfamiliar with Georgetowns game

[burnt osprey]

The one that looks like this

[bold onyx]

we get way higher tc 😴

[faint badger]

bruh the mid ppl at any school arent gonna make that much

[bold onyx]

not that one

[faint badger]

no point in going to a prestigious school if u cant make it at the top 10%

[burnt osprey]

Kk send link later

[burnt osprey]

I wasn’t even top ten percent at my high school lmfaooo

[faint badger]

i mean strictly for the salary

[frigid seal]

Emre is correct btw

[faint badger]

if thats all u care abt

[burnt osprey]

I don’t doubt Emre

[burnt osprey]

I said 2021…

[frigid seal]

Yea i know

[burnt osprey]

You guys hate to believe women

Crazy

[frigid seal]

I never said u were wrong

Did i!

[burnt osprey]

Emre wasn’t right then

[frigid seal]

All i said is emre is correct

[burnt osprey]

Because he said I was wrong about 2021

💀

[frigid seal]

I thought he said the new one

I didnt see him calling u wrong lmao

U were right abt 2021

[burnt osprey]

Not that deep

[frigid seal]

But i didnt know tepper had that kinda game

[burnt osprey]

But yeah i was just curious if i was wrong for 2021 why Wharton would have diff numbers on their website

[frigid seal]

Or McDonough

Sheesh

Stern dyson and ross are expected tbh

@gray estuary btw marshall is 83k as of 2022

[digital bramble]

Usc. Marshall airpods

[frigid seal]

No way

That cant be true

[digital bramble]

Yes way

[frigid seal]

I swear it was only a kindle

Who told u airpods?

[frigid seal]

Oh yea thats 2025

They downscaled

2026 marshall got kindles

[digital bramble]

💀💀💀

[frigid seal]

And thats only kids wjo make it to scholarship weekend

[digital bramble]

2027 Marshall gets a free charger

[frigid seal]

Very small percentage

[digital bramble]

2028 Marshall gets a screen protector

2029 Marshall gets nothing

[frigid seal]

Scholarship weekend is to determine if you get a fullride or half ride

[digital bramble]

Oop

Like nmsqt ppl

Or merits

[frigid seal]

Nah

Nmsqts dont get invited

Theyre alr guaranteed half

[digital bramble]

True

[frigid seal]

@digital bramble its only 300 total students

With marshall not being all 300

[digital bramble]

True

Still crazy they got airpods though

[frigid seal]

So they prolly bought around 50-100 airpods

And i doubt all the kids even showed up

[frigid seal]

They def stopped due to the slander
