[flat rapids]

Gaw damn congrats‼️

[thin cove]

waitlisted

[hybrid skiff]

bro wtf

[ionic nimbus]

What school 💀💀💀

[hybrid skiff]

school of engineering

[tranquil dagger]

been a pleasure 🫡

ik you could do it 👏

[lavish siren]

Upenn wl

[frank dragon]

🤫🧏‍♂️

[hybrid skiff]

where did you find that

[rustic folio]

I got in 🫡

[hybrid skiff]

does penn give good aid

same

i saw that

[opaque abyss]

is it easier to get off of the waitlist in the school of engineering than wharton

[bold onyx]

Probably

[hybrid skiff]

do you think the aid will be as good as columbia

[bold onyx]

Abt the same i think

[hybrid skiff]

i forgot to submit a singular form

[bold onyx]

Thats what i heard from ppl who got both

[hybrid skiff]

nice my columbia aid was pretty good

[bold onyx]

Either way idt price difference will be big enough to be a driving force

[hybrid skiff]

alr that was my primary concern tbh

[fleet saffron]

IS THAT UPENN

[fleet saffron]

mine said the same u have to scroll to the bottom

it's really confusing

[candid portal]

Rejected 🥰🥰🥰

[frail pumice]

guys

how is UPenn cs

cause I got in for school of engineering and applied science

[fleet saffron]

u are harvard

take harvard

[hybrid skiff]

@tender kiln

[hybrid skiff]

yeah tbh

[thin cove]

def

[light haven]

harvard or wharton

[fleet saffron]

harvard

wharton is so toxic

[thin cove]

harvard

[supple granite]

Harvard isn’t?

[fleet saffron]

i hate it

wharton is more toxic

[light haven]

or princeton?

[fleet saffron]

princeton grade deflation

what do u want to do 1123?

like career?

[light haven]

finance

ib

[fleet saffron]

oh harvard

u can't go wrong

[fleet saffron]

sellout

i respect it hto

[light haven]

just for two years

[fleet saffron]

maybe visit both and see which one u like more

[light haven]

which both?

[fleet saffron]

wharton/harvard

[light haven]

ight

[fleet saffron]

princeton u can decline so i can get off the waitlist ♥️

[light haven]

not princeton

[fleet saffron]

i would say no because there is a high grade deflation. my friend who goes to princeton and is taking the IB path says there is not that much time for internships/clubs because the grade deflation is so bad that they study all day

well that's an overreaction but she says she has classes all day

and that the deflation causes a toxic enviornment

and you need a high GPA for finance (usually)

[bold onyx]

Source: 2003

[bold onyx]

If u wanna go ib u could go either way

Choose based off personal preferences

The difference between wharton and harvard is nonexistent (wharton is a lil better 🤤)

[bold onyx]

Not if ur at princeton tbh

Princeton network is also nice asf

[mellow plaza]

does this mean I was waitlisted for my second choice?

[olive haven]

if you applied to one of the specialized programs and got waitlisted you got waitlisted for your second choice

[mellow plaza]

ahhh

[hybrid skiff]

yep

[hybrid skiff]

upenn's financial aid letter

[wooden wing]

Same

And I forgot to submit for Cornell too

[obtuse badge]

Thank you!

[static saffron]

If there’s any GC for Wharton admits feel free to invite me!! Super hyped to meeting you all

[analog shard]

omg hii congrats on Wharton???? that's insane

[static saffron]

Omgg tysmmm it’s been a wild ride after getting into a car crash and almost dying from an explosion to getting accepted to Wharton an hour apart from each other after multiple back to back rejections/waitlist I feel relieved 🫡🔴🔵🫡🔴🔵

It’s wilddd 😂😂

[obtuse badge]

Wildddd

[obtuse badge]

How was ivy day?

[obtuse badge]

If there’s a GC for Penn pls add me

[analog shard]

omg im so sorry you were in that situation

[analog shard]

[flat rapids]

You conquered California dw

[analog shard]

[stuck iron]

[cold ibex]

Hi guys I got in but have any of you gotten your aid letters yet

I can’t find it for some reason

[static saffron]

Ahhh no worries thanksss!!

[static saffron]

Couldn’t find one 😔

[fleet saffron]

HEY! i think there's one on instagarm

im so glad you're okay

from oteh crash

[fleet saffron]

i asked my friends yesterday

well maybe that's just one person's opinion

[static saffron]

Yooo awesome can you add me to it ahaha

[static saffron]

Ahhh tysm ahahah it was wild

[terse quiver]

whats liklihood of getting off of penn waitlist

[vocal blade]

Does anyone know someone that goes to Wharton that can explain a lil about what it is like?

Or have any of you heard anything about the experience?

[stuck iron]

please me too

[random nexus]

add me too pls, thank you!!

[fast pine]

How do Ik if I’ve been accepted or rejected to one of the dual degree programs?

On my acceptance letter it just says welcome to the college of arts and sciences so I’m assuming I didn’t get it but it also doesn’t say anywhere if I’ve been rejected

[rustic folio]

Princeton or Penn

[vocal blade]

Could someone send me the accepted students discord server?

[static crescent]

Same here! I’m also college of arts and sciences

[tranquil dagger]

Mashallah you got Wharton

[static saffron]

yesss alhandullihall

[olive haven]

You got rejected to dual degree

You only got into the college

[ionic nimbus]

Give your fellow Arab advice 😞

[trim orchid]

hi! could someone please add me to the accepted instagram chat?

[waxen raven]

holy EFf

yeah there definitely needs to be some overhaul in the monetary-education system 💀

less than a decade ago averages were around ~50-70K

I guess covid shot up costs everywhere

[torpid raft]

Wharton or Brown?

[fast pine]

bet tysm

[bold onyx]

Wharton easily lol

Only comparable option to wharton is harvard

[wooden wing]

Wait does anyone know what the Wharton Joseph Scholar does?

Like does it actually have a lot of benefits?

[bold onyx]

Yes

Im in the program

Worth doing imo

U dont get too many perks, but theres like no downside

Requirements are a couple easy classes that are relatively interesting

At the start of the year theres a jws rafting trip

There are career treks

And a couple jws specific events throughout the year

And biggest perk imo is our advisor

Hes so much better than normal advisors

[bold onyx]

Not worth applying to after freshman year tho imo lol

[obtuse badge]

Guys how easy to get and do double major from wharton when youre already in SEAS?

[hoary dirge]

LMAO i didnt even get penn back

[plucky locust]

CONGRATS ON PENN EVERYONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 PENN 26 AND WHARTON SOPHOMORE HERE 🙏🙏 ik you guys have soooo many worries and questions but trust that you will be fine and you will absofuckinglutely love it here

[plucky locust]

no one is taking wharton over harvard - wharton student

[obtuse badge]

Hey. thank you!
would you have any idea how easy to get and do double major from wharton when youre already in SEAS?

[bold onyx]

Ik a couple ppl who did 😭

[bold onyx]

U can only dual degree, and its a lot of work

Not useful

Or not worth it i should say

[obtuse badge]

What bout a minor?

[bold onyx]

U dont really need the wharton degree to get into finance or anything

[bold onyx]

You can do a minor

But again

Not worth

[obtuse badge]

Is it gonna cost more?

[bold onyx]

Nah

[obtuse badge]

What do we need then?

[bold onyx]

To be at penn

😋

Like if ur in cas or seas u can break into finance

[obtuse badge]

Like I wanna do it for my own learning. I just don’t wanna be an engineer. Want some form of business education as well

[bold onyx]

U can take wharton classes if u want

[obtuse badge]

😉

[bold onyx]

But most business education isnt that useful tbh

[obtuse badge]

Why not get minor and add a bit of credentials?

[obtuse badge]

Why’s that?

I thought Penn was one of those schools where the business degree is actually worth it

[bold onyx]

The credentials arent needed

[bold onyx]

Most of the classes u take for a wharton degree dont directly apply to ur job

Since a concentration is 4 classes and our business breadth reqs are pretty big u learn more of a wide variety of things

But more importantly most of the skills u need for the job u learn outside of class

[waxen raven]

I still don't understand what "business" majors actually do

[waxen raven]

unless you're dead set on business I'd first do a deeper look into both programs breadth

e.g. brown's applied math department is pretty nutty

Upenn's much weaker, etc

[obtuse badge]

Makes sense thank you so much

[olive haven]

Then why’d you apply to the engineering school and not wharton 😭

[tranquil dagger]

Prob cuz u can sellout anywhere in penn

[obtuse badge]

Engineering is priority

business knowledge is an added bonus

[frail pumice]

Did finaid come out

[cold ibex]

Not yet for me

[frail pumice]

bruuuh

guess I’m going to Harvard

[vocal blade]

how is the social life at wharton?

[olive haven]

Yeah but also if u wanna study at business at penn u should apply to wharton bc doing an internal transfer is extremely difficult

[olive haven]

Finance bros yearning over Goldman Sachs

[plucky vortex]

Anyone that wants the discord just dm me I can’t send links here apparently

[vocal blade]

I got accepted to Wharton but the social life is making me hesitant on going there

I am an international from Europe and wonder if I'll have a better time here instead

[bold onyx]

What do you mean

[vocal blade]

What are people like (friendly or just competetive), are there lots of partying, is it a nice place in general where you feel at ease?

[bold onyx]

Most are friendly, some are very competitive

In my experience it hasnt been hard to find an uncompetitive friend group lol

Lots of parties, pretty big greek life scene here

[vocal blade]

can I read about the fraternities online?
Someone mentioned that there were two that were more international?

Also - is it hard to get accepeted to a fraternity? I heard you had to go get lunch with members and sell yourself etc

[bold onyx]

Not much good info online tbh

Just dm me questions

[bold onyx]

Not sure, i never rushed. But its not as much selling yourself as it is just genuinely getting along with the people in the frat

[hybrid skiff]

did you get added?

[bold onyx]

Wait nvm

[vagrant grotto]

Emreee why were you gone from this server like a week ago

[bold onyx]

I only rejoined for ivy day/stanford

Im gonna leave again soon

Dm if yall have any questions abt wharton/penn in general

[vagrant grotto]

I did but it said you aren’t taking DMs from non-friends and severs

Why are you dipping?

[supple granite]

Servers a distraction

No cap

Emre is locked in

[hybrid skiff]

nvm its a glitch

[turbid bluff]

time to make the craziest loci of all time

gonna glaze so hard

[hybrid skiff]

SAME

WE GOT THISS 🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥

[wooden wing]

Pretty much nothing

[hybrid skiff]

ur going to yale?

[wooden wing]

95% sure

5% room for Wharton visit!

[hybrid skiff]

@bold onyx is it worth to rush

[cinder hatch]

Is there a upenn 2028 discord server for admitted students

[hybrid skiff]

ping me if u find it

[plucky locust]

Penn overall has an amazing social environment

not really wharton specific no one really hangs out just by undergrad school\

[hybrid skiff]

how many international student with full ride were accepted off of the waitlist last year

I’m desperate

[static saffron]

please ping me if u find one

[thick rapids]

what are the chances for getting off the waitlist for SEAS?

[hybrid skiff]

full ride sounds almost impossible 😭

[stuck iron]

What percentage of u guys admitted didnt get an interview? i got in and didnt get one

guys i got into upenn and also usc and i dont know what to do

[tender kiln]

^^

[tender kiln]

i think so

pledge is a lot but

you get a lot out of it too

[dawn dock]

Hey can someone here advise me on smth?

I have like big stuff coming up in the next 2 weeks that I wanna include in my LOCI, I should definitely wait to send it so I can include them right?

Dont they not even start looking at LOCI/waitlists until May anyways?

Basically my question is when should they be sent by

[olive haven]

interviews are non-evaluative for penn so it doesn't matter anyways

[olive haven]

no one knows but last year overall waitlist acceptance rate was about 6%

[dawn dock]

And im guessing they only take like 6% of the ppl off the waitlist? Lol

As a higher estimate

[burnt osprey]

WHO GOT IN

[burnt osprey]

you could, though you could also mention them in a LOCI sooner if you know for sure you're going to do those big things

that being said there's no rush

i got in off of the waitlist and I'd submitted mine on April 18th

[burnt osprey]

never a confirmed number as it entirely depends on the commitment rate of people already accepted RD

you can increase your odds by submitting a LOCI though

i know a college senior who got into SEAS off the waitlist and he submitted a LOCI and an additional LOR from a teacher so that's also an option

[burnt osprey]

#954425230896545792 !

[burnt osprey]

at penn, interviews are offered based on availability. the percentage of who got in w/o one doesn't really mean anything

[burnt osprey]

check the upenn subreddit, its usually discussed there

[cinder hatch]

I got m&t

[burnt osprey]

idk i dont use discord much anymore

[vocal blade]

Got into Wharton as an international but probably won't accept. When I've researched a bit I've understood two things: 1. 80%+ go into consulting or finance (I don't want to work 60-80 hours per week just to earn money I won't have time to enjoy) 2. Only like <10% goes anywhere else than the US or Asia and I probably want to live in Europe

[cinder hatch]

Is m&t worth it idk

[cinder hatch]

Valid

[vocal blade]

Tbh I don't really understand why people are so obsessed with Wharton and getting into the top finance and consulting jobs

[dawn dock]

Thats hype

[cinder hatch]

money

[dawn dock]

Good to know thanks

[burnt osprey]

grwat network

[burnt osprey]

makes making big money easier

[vocal blade]

Yeah but isn't it more important to find work that's fulfilling?

[burnt osprey]

some people find finance work fulfilling

but also like, for some people, making money in a (comparably) less stressful environment is more important

leaves more time and resources for doing what you actually enjoy

[vocal blade]

But at the entry level positions that you need to work at for a couple of years has no worklife balance

Oh well, it feels great to have come to the conclusion that Wharton isn't for me

But still a bit scary to turn down 😄

[cinder hatch]

Anything besides that

[burnt osprey]

prob other stuff but im in CAS

[frail pumice]

Did anyone get the mail yet

[frail pumice]

^^^

• harvard prefrosh

[torpid raft]

is theer an accepted student server for Penn/wharton

Wharton/Columbia for economics/finance/public policy

[bold onyx]

Hard recruiting, insane network, lots of m&t specific opportunities (career treks, school positions, startup grants, more), m&t classes, ability to get two degrees

[bold onyx]

Finance is wharton easily

Econ/public policy idk

[rustic folio]

Does anyone know how premed at Penn is?

[ionic nimbus]

What I heard it’s pretty good

But compared to others it really depends on what u wanna do I think

[rustic folio]

Honestly the Princeton chat is scaring me

I needed a place to hide out

[tender kiln]

neither is a fun premed school

both r hard

[bold onyx]

Penn t3 premed

Yea but penn premed op

[tender kiln]

but yeah our premed sweeps

emre bro

my leg is cooked

they cooked my leg

[bold onyx]

What happen

[tender kiln]

jumped too high

[bold onyx]

😭😭

[tender kiln]

and rammed my shin into my grandpa

during ultimate frisbee

[vagrant grotto]

How hard is it to transfer into M & T?….

And is the workload crazy

Lowkey thinking about doing it

[rustic folio]

Wait is there grade inflation

If so…I’ll commit rn I swear

[static saffron]

Any Wharton or Penn GC / server please add meee

[bold onyx]

Very

[bold onyx]

Very

[digital bramble]

HAMANY

HEYY

I RMEMEBR READING UR ESSAYS

GLAD U MADE IT

[static saffron]

OH SHITTT @digital bramble I TRIED DMING U TODAY

WANTED TO THANK U SM SMM FOR UR HELP U SAVED MY ASS DUDE

[digital bramble]

HAHA I TRIED THE SAME IT DIDNT GO THROUGH

[static saffron]

LMAAOOAOA

[hybrid skiff]

really good

[wooden dagger]

duke or penn for cs

scared of penns more preprofessional and cutthroat culture but ppl have been saying it's worth it

[olive haven]

Very hard to transfer and very crazy workload

[tender kiln]

engineering is not cutthroat lol

[hybrid skiff]

ill make sure it becomes cutthroat 😈

[vagrant grotto]

I heard Duke had a relatively easy CS program

[tranquil dagger]

ye 100%

[hybrid skiff]

hawk is upenn cas economics a target

[plucky locust]

target for finnace?

[tranquil dagger]

YES

cas/seas is a target easily

u can sellout cus half at both do

[hybrid skiff]

yes

[plucky locust]

yeah for sure when you go to penn it doesnt really matter waht your school is you can recruit for the top finnace jobs

really no virtual difference its more just wharton kids are more likely to be interested in finance recruiting

i just finished finance IB recruiitng and there is no school in the world that places better than Penn, wharton or not

[tender kiln]

also wharton kids usually have more time on their hands which means they can spend more time recruiting

i think that’s the biggest advantage tbh

[plucky locust]

i mean so do CAS students - as a prior cas studetn LMAO

i mean over like SEAS Kids

[queen sphinx]

How much studying do SEAS CS kids do per day/week?

[tender kiln]

it’s very dependent on semester

[hybrid skiff]

should i bring my car or nah

[tender kiln]

no

you’ll never need it

[tender kiln]

but yeah our cs courses peak in freshman year, first sem i was spending maybe like 15 hrs in class and 10-20 hrs/wk out of it doing work or studying

but it drops off after that

[hybrid skiff]

do you do work study?

[tender kiln]

our upper level cs courses are very project based, generally speaking you will have a project that takes 4-5 hrs/wk every 2 weeks/class

and 1-2 midterms and a final per class max

[civic moon]

Is penn WL good?

[tender kiln]

nah idt emre does either

[civic moon]

i got WLd from every ivy

almost

seems like cornell waitlists allot

[tender kiln]

id say whichever school you’re committed to, start focusing on that and start trying to love that school

[civic moon]

duke or purdue

not sure

[tender kiln]

if you have duke dwa getting off an ivy wl

[civic moon]

penn is better lol

did penn release their 2028 stats

like i think yale did

[tender kiln]

yeah but you’ll be happy and successful at either

[rustic folio]

Yeah idk Penn is seeming like a more viable option

[civic moon]

u got in?

i accepted harvard's and penn's wl offers

[digital bramble]

@tender kiln odds of getting Lauder as a freshman

[olive haven]

OMG MEESHAT IS BACK

[digital bramble]

[olive haven]

[rustic folio]

[digital bramble]

Disgusting

[civic moon]

When will they?

[digital bramble]

They kinda secretive Abt stats

[olive haven]

they haven't released and they won't release

[digital bramble]

They won’t say how many

[rustic folio]

No idea

[digital bramble]

Doubt they will

[olive haven]

never is the answer

[rustic folio]

Word

[olive haven]

they haven't released exact stats in years

[rustic folio]

Hey king

[olive haven]

[digital bramble]

I’m playin feotntire

Death.

[civic moon]

[digital bramble]

Heyyy that’s my friends dilemma too

Penn vs Princeton

[rustic folio]

Yo please link us up

[olive haven]

im biased for penn

[rustic folio]

I need someone to rant to

Cuz wtf do you mean Princetons avg GPA is a 3.2😭

[digital bramble]

Grade deflation go brr

Not so much anymore but hard ass classes

[olive haven]

only place i've heard with grade inflation is brown

[digital bramble]

And my hs

[olive haven]

BYEE SAME

[digital bramble]

Half the kids have a 4.0

[rustic folio]

Nah harvards is INSANE

[digital bramble]

Like 20% of grades handed out r 97-99

[olive haven]

im too sick of mass to apply to harvard

[digital bramble]

Princeton and Cornell r hard

Columbia and Penn r in the middle

And then the others have somewhat inflation

[tender kiln]

low

[digital bramble]

Got 2 v 1

[olive haven]

what about hill

[digital bramble]

Sent back to lobby

😕

[digital bramble]

Aww I thought it was freshman only

[tender kiln]

high but for a reason 💀

[olive haven]

o what's the reason 😭

[digital bramble]

It sucks

[tender kiln]

it is but it’s the most in demand

[digital bramble]

Food poisoning dining hall

[olive haven]

BYEEE

it's closest to seas and has the most singles though 💔

[tender kiln]

eh quad is not far

from season

you walk so much in college anyways

you’ll get used to it

[olive haven]

hm true

[tender kiln]

i’ve averaged 18k steps last month LOL

[rustic folio]

LMFAOOO

Yo wait, what if I just major in like philosophy

I think that would eat

[olive haven]

wait are u pre-med or pre-law

[rustic folio]

Pre-med 💀

[digital bramble]

Omg same

I would honestly go with penn for premed

[olive haven]

Fun fact this guy we're from the same town and went to middle school together

[rustic folio]

Frl? Cuz I’m honestly leaning that way

[olive haven]

obviously yk i'm biased for penn

come join me pookie

[digital bramble]

I did my research I can convince u

Princeton has no med school

[rustic folio]

This is true

[digital bramble]

Penns med school is like on campus

[olive haven]

trueeee

[digital bramble]

Also

Both r good but it’s prolly easier to keep ur gpa up at penn

At the end

[rustic folio]

This is also true

[digital bramble]

Like Princeton weed out is notorious

Gpa is one thing but so is clinical n research hours

[rustic folio]

Ugh that’s so facts

[rustic folio]

Wait wdym weed out

[digital bramble]

Ochem

[rustic folio]

Ah

I see

[digital bramble]

Brb I’m in a Fortnite game I’ll get back in a sec

Fellow premed yippee

[rustic folio]

Lmfaooo take ur timeee

[bold onyx]

Low, everyone wants lauder

[bold onyx]

Idt penn releases

[bold onyx]

Hill is peak

[bold onyx]

Hill is fire dont listen to him

[digital bramble]

Ok I’m back we sold

😕

[rustic folio]

😦 it’s ok

[digital bramble]

Anyways

R u like dead set on premed

[rustic folio]

I’m like 90% sure

[digital bramble]

Come to Penn

🗣️🗣️🗣️

[rustic folio]

LMAO

[digital bramble]

It is possible to do premed

At Princeton tho

Like it’s not impossible it’ll just be hard tbh it’s hard everywhere

When I was skiing I met an anesthesiologist who went to Princeton

Maybe ask current students what they think?

[rustic folio]

that’s true

[digital bramble]

I have some friends at penn doing premed and they’re doing alright

She managed to keep her 4.0 so far

[rustic folio]

Yeah I’m in contact with a few

[digital bramble]

The thing is if volunteering and clinical hours r biggg to u

[harsh mountain]

is there a penn admit discord server

[digital bramble]

Go somewhere where a hospital is easy access

[rustic folio]

One Princeton person just graduated premed and got into a T10 med school

So it’s def possible

[digital bramble]

Yep

[rustic folio]

That’s fair. UPenn would be more accessible in that case

RAHHHHH

I need a nap

[digital bramble]

In a way it is like selection bias tho

Like the ppl who manage to make it to the end of premed r basically cut out to get into any good med school

Cus the trials and tribulations

😭😭

Same logic with jhu like it’s considered a super good prened school with a high matriculation rate

But that’s only cus the program is so difficult that at the end of all the weeding the kids r like ready for any med school

[hybrid skiff]

do you know how to start early

[rustic folio]

That makes sense. Bro getting into an Ivy vs realizing that u have to like…go to an Ivy

[digital bramble]

Yeah…

I sobered up real quick once I realixed

It’s just a school

Ur so glad to get in but at the end it’s just school all over again

😭😭

[rustic folio]

Yeah that’s exactly where I’m at rn

[digital bramble]

LOL

Like that’s why if u ask a college student if they like it there

Regardless of how high rank or popular the school

ITS JUST SCHOOL

So pick the place that’s best for u and ur learning in the end

Not what seems best on rank or paper or stuff

[flat rapids]

@rustic folio Penn pre med gets to work with the 76ers

End of discussion

[hybrid skiff]

penn also has like the 3rd best med school in the US

for research

so come

we can be quakers together

we'll be the new dg and emre

[digital bramble]

Oldest too

[rustic folio]

Lmaoo this. This might be the reason I go

[hybrid skiff]

i mean like don't get me wrong i'd take princeton over upenn since im engineering but ur premed so its different tbh

cuz gpa

[tranquil dagger]

@fast pine 👏

[rustic folio]

Yeah that’s fair. Part of me is like…what if I just don’t do premed

[tranquil dagger]

did u commit

[hybrid skiff]

yeah thats true

[hybrid skiff]

waiting till quaker days

[rustic folio]

Real honestly

[tranquil dagger]

oh ok congrats tho

[hybrid skiff]

columbia will be really hard to turn down

[rustic folio]

Oooh congrats on both big dawg

[hybrid skiff]

yeah you too

[rustic folio]

Quaker days is a three day thing correct?

[hybrid skiff]

i could only register with one day

[tranquil dagger]

cracked

r u eng for all?

[hybrid skiff]

yes

[rustic folio]

That’s what I thought too. Maybe it is just a day thing but once every day

[bold onyx]

Start what early

[hard pike]

guys does anyone know if its likely to be able to do both seas and wharton if im starting in seas

[hybrid skiff]

like how iz did

like the pre orientation stuff

[hybrid skiff]

not impossible

you can dual major

[hard pike]

yeah like dual degree

[hybrid skiff]

M&T will probably be near impossible though

[hard pike]

can i do uncoordinated

[bold onyx]

You dont apply to pre-os for a while

[hybrid skiff]

yes

[hybrid skiff]

do you know which one is like you start early and take classes to acclimate to the climate

[bold onyx]

Pfp

[hard pike]

is it likely to get in uncoordinated? would that experience differ a lot from m&t?

[bold onyx]

But its for athletes / fgli

[bold onyx]

Decently and very different

Not worth doing uncoordinated imo

[digital bramble]

lol my friend is turning m&t down

[hybrid skiff]

yeah im eligible

[digital bramble]

So a spot might open

[hybrid skiff]

when do you know if you got invited

[bold onyx]

You dont need to be in wharton to get finance/consulting

[digital bramble]

🗣️🗣️

[bold onyx]

I think its around early may

[hybrid skiff]

okay sick

[hybrid skiff]

could you check dms rq

[digital bramble]

R u deciding between Penn and columnia

[bold onyx]

Kk

[hybrid skiff]

yes

[hard pike]

if i get rejected from wharton during my first time trying to transfer/dual degree can i try again?

[hard pike]

wait why

[bold onyx]

No point doing a Wharton transfer for jr/sr year

[hybrid skiff]

every school places well in finance at penn

[bold onyx]

A lot of work for basically no additional benefits

[digital bramble]

Can u declare more than 1 roomate

[bold onyx]

Idts

[digital bramble]

Cus I found someone who’s an intl but she wants to go for a 4 year house

Like the not all freshman

Is that even possible

And is that even recommended

[bold onyx]

Possible yes

Recommended not really

Better to be in a freshman dorm and get the freshman experience

[hard pike]

so for employers its the practically the same whether i do seas or both seas and wharton?

[bold onyx]

Yes

Nobodies gonna hire you bc youre “upenn wharton” vs “upenn seas”

[hard pike]

this means i may take more than 4 years to grad right?

[hard pike]

also can u get a single as a freshman

[hard pike]

im mainly looking to double major in econ or finance which is why im interested in dual degree with wharton

[bold onyx]

No but you can get a suite, so like an apartment (you share a bathroom/living room but have a private room with 3-5 other people)

[digital bramble]

U can’t get a single as a freshman?

[bold onyx]

No, you’d just take a lot of classes per semester depending on what credits youre coming in with

[bold onyx]

Yea but its not needed

The finance skills u need for recruiting you learn outside of class anyway

Because you recruit for you junior summer internship, which will most likely transition into your full time job through a return offer, in the spring of your sophomore year. But youre not allowed to take finance/accounting until sophomore fall anyway, so the most benefit you get out of wharton is maybe 1 or 2 classes, not worth the effort of a dual degree

[hard pike]

ohh what would u say the best house is

ik ur prob gonna say whichever one u r in/were in but thought id ask lol

[bold onyx]

Freshman i’d prolly rank: lauder/quad/hill/gutmann/stouffer/kcech/gregory

Move to lauder/gutmann/quad/… if you dont care too much abt social

If you care a lot abt social aspect then: quad/hill/kcech/lauder/gutmann/gregory

[hard pike]

quad looks hella nice can i list which one i want to be in on the form?

[bold onyx]

Uhhh wdym

Like which part of the quad?

[hard pike]

no like which house

or do i just tell them i have xyz preferences and get placed randomly into a house

[bold onyx]

O

Yea

You rank them in order of preference

Then getting randomly placed

[hard pike]

ohhh ok

also last question is quaker day worth going to

also do they give free merch?

[bold onyx]

Yes imo

Nice to explore campus

If youre close

Not worth a long flight or anything

[bold onyx]

Yea i think so

Like a totebag, waterbottle, stickers

[hard pike]

damn no shirt 😢

sounds good tho i appreciate u answering my questions really cleared things up

[normal dagger]

Nyu stern vs UPenn cas for finance/ib?

[bold onyx]

Penn

[normal dagger]

Any reason?

Does stern not place as well?

[bold onyx]

It places well, penn is just the best

Only thing i’d consider over penn for finance is harvard, even then i’d be heavily leaning towards penn

[normal dagger]

So there’s really no difference between cas and Wharton in terms of placements?

Same difficulty?

[bold onyx]

Not really

Being in wharton just makes things more convenient

[normal dagger]

What would you say about quant finance at UPenn

Lots of people who want to break in?

Compared to other schools?

[bold onyx]

Not too many

Some in engineer, some in m&t

Very few in wharton

[normal dagger]

Zamm really?

I would think quant finance is big at Penn no?

[bold onyx]

Its not that big

Most people are more interested in traditional finance

Plus quant finance requires a heavy like math/cs/stats background, and math/stats is pretty small here i think

[plucky locust]

emre ate

[normal dagger]

Wb like private equity and hedge fund placements

Or is it mostly just investment banking

[bold onyx]

Not too many, but thats bc its hard to break into those fields out of undergrad. Penn leads in pe/hf placement tho

I think 2022 was like 40ish people went into pe

I dont remember the number for hfs

But it is mostly investment banking, though thats due to how things work in the finance industry

Like going into ib for 2 years is highly, highly recommended by most people (though if you can get into the buyside you probably should)

[bold onyx]

Gotta pay it forward

[plucky locust]

best undergrad university in the entire world for undergraduate HF/PE placements

[digital bramble]

How many ppl sellout

[olive haven]

There are three days to choose from and you can only go to one

[low flame]

huh ik a gutmann

i wonder if it’s the same people

[plucky locust]

um like most 🤣

theres nothing wrong with selling out though asffff

[torpid raft]

Do folks switch from Wharton to CAS Economics

Or is that unusual

[plucky locust]

unusual

[rustic folio]

Got it. When did u choose

[digital bramble]

💀

[versed oriole]

Hey guys I’m leaning towards committing to SEAS but I’m kinda worried about Penn being super Wharton centered. I def want to take advantage of the business & entrepreneurship opportunities but don’t know how accessible they are as a seas student

[bold onyx]

Very accessible

Nothings really like given specifically to wharton students

[versed oriole]

Is it worth trying to transfer into m&t or pursue a dual degree

Vs the engineering entrepreneurship minor

[bold onyx]

I would say no

Its very hard and a lot of work

And odds are you most likely wont get in

M&t is great, but being in seas is great too

No point in hustling for m&t transfer when you could spend time just developing ur skills and stuff

[versed oriole]

yeah i also figured that my chances of getting into m&t are close to none lol

but what kind of opportunities are available to seas students who are interested in business?

[plucky locust]

literally so many you're not limited by your degree

no one is stopping you if you want to work in private equity

[bold onyx]

^^

Literally like everything lol

[tender kiln]

yeah

i’m seas but i’d say most wharton kids would love to have my club involvement roster

we’re not limited by anything

[olive haven]

what i love about upenn is its interdisciplinary educational opportunities

it's one of the top reasons i applied

[bold onyx]

Dg

[versed oriole]

That’s good to hear! I def want to be able to explore my options

[supple granite]

See u there

[digital bramble]

WOO

CAS?

[bold onyx]

W

When do you apply?

[glossy pewter]

Fall of junior year

[hybrid skiff]

Everyone seems to refer interviewer in their LOCI. What if I didn’t get a chance to be interviewed? Is it really necessary to add someone from penn, whether it’s alumni or professor, in my loci?

[errant wagon]

Does anyone have the admitted students discord? Or is there not one 😔

[digital bramble]

Haven’t been able to find it

[errant wagon]

Is there an ig group chat?

I know some other schools do that...

[digital bramble]

There is one

I’m not in it

I think it’s full

[errant wagon]

NAUR

3:

[digital bramble]

😕

[rustic folio]

Hey kidz!

[hybrid skiff]

theres a new one but they wont let me in

[digital bramble]

LMAOO WHY

[hybrid skiff]

i have no idea 😭

maybe bc i dont have upenn in my bio?

[supple granite]

No point in joining insta gcs

They're dead most of the times, and it's just a few randoms spamming them. You aren't missing out on anything.

[cold ibex]

No it’s not necessary I didn’t even get an interview and got accepted

[harsh mountain]

ANYONE COMING TO QUAKER DAYS ON THE 13TH ‼️

[olive haven]

[harsh mountain]

[harsh mountain]

AWW

🤩

[static saffron]

guys is living on campus required for the first 2 years?? can i opt out right now

[olive haven]

campus housing is required for the first year

other years u can live on or off campus

[static saffron]

for religious reasons

[tender kiln]

no

its required for first 2 years

[tender kiln]

you can talk about getting other exceptions (i.e being off the meal plan) but i dont know a single person who was able to get out of living on campus for first 2 years

[olive haven]

oh it is?

i thought it was first year

nvm then

[warm shard]

PENN AO SENT US EMAILS

[harsh mountain]

YES OH MY GOD

it was so sweet

[random nexus]

literally so wholesome

[warm shard]

mine mentioned my essays mainly 💔 I had some doubts about them so I’m glad she liked them

[harsh mountain]

aww she remembered the specific parts thats so sweet

[olive haven]

YAYYY

i got mine back in december

hope the regular emails are still as sweet as they were for early

[hybrid skiff]

mine didnt really talk about my essays just ecs and interests 😭

[ripe pawn]

how fucked are we if we're on the penn waitlist

[silver flint]

i think ~5% acc rate

so

[rustic folio]

No 12th ON TOPP

[rustic folio]

BRO I have literally been geeking all day because of it. Like wow…yall really want me?🥺

[supple granite]

Now u gotta pick penn over poopton

[harsh mountain]

no pick PRINCETON over penn state

[timid shale]

does upenn publish the waitlist stats of its different schools

[static saffron]

guys does upenn do housing exemptions for religious reasons because it doesnt say on their website/show any format?

[stiff dagger]

hello! for intl students will they send u instructions for applying for the I-20 only after u committed or do they also give it out before?

[bold onyx]

They dont

[wooden wing]

Did anyone get their UPenn acceptance package yet,

[static crescent]

No 😭

[wooden dagger]

no

what do yall think about the ai program

[olive haven]

if this is you you're being downvoted hard 💀

but seriously you'll be okay living on campus, plenty of muslims live on campus and i doubt they'll make an exception

[static saffron]

This is funny asf why are they pressed 😂😂

It’s not me tho I just find it hilarious someone else is in the same situation ahahaha

[olive haven]

oh damn LMAO

but tbh the people in the comments are right

they're not gonna make religious exemptions for on campus housing

[low flame]

why wouldnt a muslim be able to live on campus?

[static saffron]

At least not single forms?

[olive haven]

exactly 😭

[static saffron]

complicated

[low flame]

is it a gender living restriction? surely there's single sex housing

and even if like youre not sharing a room with the other sex...

[static saffron]

idgaf tbh I’ll party all night idk how to explain tho

but like are their single room options at least?

[olive haven]

yeah you can get singles

but it's subject to availability

[static saffron]

i gotta pray in my room 5 times a day and set an alarm to wake up early for morning prayer at like 3am and don’t wanna be a bitch to my roommate

So I’d rather be on my own

[olive haven]

or just get a muslim roommate 😭

[static saffron]

some don’t pray tbh so I’d rather not force anything on them and be alone 😂😂

[olive haven]

trust there's def muslims that pray and are looking for a roommate

you just gotta make connections and look around

[static saffron]

ig so yea

[olive haven]

trust me don't keep trying to get out of on campus housing bc you won't

it's just a waste of time

make the best of your situation ig

[static saffron]

Alr ill just pay for on campus housing and rent an apartment outside if they won’t let me as a worst case scenario

[tranquil dagger]

mashallah

bro doing tahajjud ‼️

also doesnt penn have a lot ofm uslim diversity

[static saffron]

Hahaha fajr 😂😂

[tranquil dagger]

oh fajr tho is after 5 usually

[static saffron]

[tranquil dagger]

[static saffron]

time flies byyy

inshallah I’ll get housing exemption tho I won’t survive on campus old rooms hell no

Absolutely not

[tranquil dagger]

wait do u have to dorm first year at ivies?

[static saffron]

At Penn its first 2 years

[tranquil dagger]

u could get an off campus apt

after

ah

[static saffron]

yea but like worst case if I’m forced to pay for on campus whatever I’ll use the dorm as like storage space but I’ll get my own apartment and live there first year

No way I’m doing dorms

[bold onyx]

Rooms arent that bad tbh

Most of them are renovated/new

[normal dagger]

yo do any of the dorms have a stove and oven

[tender kiln]

fire

[tender kiln]

stouffer mayer but its not worth living there

just live in the quad or hill or lauder

you can have proper kitchen in your second year

[digital bramble]

I wanna rank lauder first but apparently it’s mega hard to get

So what would yall recommend second

Like kcehc and quad > hill

Kcech

[digital bramble]

Aww 😭😭

Ok but I thought with match u can set preferences for waking up time and stuff

And a lot of@college students have like weird waking ours so maybe someone will be fine w that if not u might have a chance getting a single in hill or quad

[tender kiln]

not kcech

kcech sucks

[digital bramble]

Why

🙁

I need lauder I want lauder so bad but my chances r low

[normal dagger]

lmao upenn gave us stickers to use as a webcam blocker

[rustic folio]

Heheh…about that

[supple granite]

Bro isnt islam against drinking n stuff

[supple granite]

Its not too late!!!!!

[rustic folio]
