Big Questions Ep. 18: University of Pennsylvania

Want to see if you can get into UPenn today? Try out our admissions calculator here: crmsn.tv/AdmissionsCalculator
The University of Pennsylvania is one of the best universities in the world. Founded by Benjamin Franklin and part of the Ivy League, Penn is known for its dedication to public service, its remarkable balance of academic rigor and a vibrant social life, and its groundbreaking school of medicine (Perelman, the first in the United States) and collegiate business school (Wharton, also the first in the United States).
Crimson went to Penn to ask some big questions: What's the best thing about Penn? What's the worst thing? What do students do on weekends? What did they write their application essays about? Watch to find out!

Go to Carnegie Mellon please!!

[@petrcrawthwait9338]

It's pathetic that Crimson Education is trying to ride on the fact that the color and word "Crimson" are associated with Harvard. You're a bunch of bottom-feeders who make garbage videos.

[@Amy-nt2xv]

"The worst thing about Penn is that it's not Harvard." 😂😂😭

[@franchescaramirez7105]

LeBunneh Hunneh that was my TA 😂

[@user-pu9pz6ff9l]

LeBunneh Hunneh Not sure if she was actually being sarcastic or she was being honest. To be a student at UPenn and complain its not Harvard is pretty fucked up. She should have never attended UPenn and let someone else that is truly passionate about UPenn to attend. This is a similar situation to insanely competitive public University of California schools; where UC San Diego kids think the worst thing about UC San Diego is that its not UC Berkeley or UCLA.

Ivy Leaguers are so annoyingly elitist

[@grantsolomon7417]

Lmffaaooooooo, me too

[@abrahamalhamdani1097]

Penn is the only Ivy League I was accepted into (granted I only applied to 2), and I am honestly so thankful I got in since it was my top school. I hate it when people say things like this; it kind of gets on my nerves.

[@Ange-or2np]

Seeing these kinds of videos makes me regret not making the most of high school

[@selenathetabby]

Ange Long YESSSS ME TOO!! That’s why I’m looking into matriculating here to earn my Masters in social work in a couple of years (currently a sophomore at PSU Abington):|

[@ellaa7985]

The same girls that said there was a balance of academic and social life also said that it was hard to balance academics and extracurriculars when asked what was bad about Penn... hmmm

[@rockz7772]

No matter how many videos I watch of this guy. I still can't forget that he really went on Yale campus and gave a Yale tour as a Harvard student lmao.

[@MrJustman101]

Excellent! Looking forward to my son making the dream happen in 2019!

robotturkey oh... I didn't know Tulane had a drug and alcohol problem lol. Thanks for the update.

[@user-fx2bx1gz4c]

LoL. It isn't Harvard (top 5 at everything), but I don't think it's trying to be either ...... If you want to go into business, law, or medicine Penn is for you. It's a top school for what it does.

[@ultimakey3111]

m Harvard still trumps Penn in all three of those.

[@neeltheeelkamal5150]

Ultimakey In law and business, but definitely not Medicine

[@percent2347]

@@neeltheeelkamal5150 what about engineering?

[@peter1112211]

Don't forget about School of Engineering and School of Nursing programs for undergraduates are excellent too.

[@afiaoduro-manu2349]

oh wow, why?

[@alexciss]

Go for it!!

[@mydogisbailey]

I went to Penn and it was a true pressure cooker. Some people completely cracked under the pressure because they surrounded themselves with the most cut throat people. Thankfully I was more shielded from the ugly side of the culture

[@boss8177]

Wharton > Harvard any single day.

[@hridaykarthik5917]

yoooo

[@user-vw4pj]

1:23 she looks like the girl from Lemonade Mouth!

[@guiltazaour2871]

If trump made it here, you can to, just make sure donations are consistent and plenty.

[@user-pu9pz6ff9l]

Maybe the girl that claims "The worst thing about Penn is that it's not Harvard" was being sarcastic. But if she was serious, she should have never attended UPenn and hogged a spot from candidates that were passionate about UPenn. Regardless if she just "slightly" better of a candidate. A rejected candidate that was "slightly" worst would probably do better at UPenn than her if they were passionate about what they do. To quote - "You do the best at what you are passionate about." Furthermore - its interesting to see Ivy League students knock on each other. Its like the University of California undergrad kids. Where the top UC (Berkeley, LA, SB, and Irvine) all knock on each other in some way. Life lesson folks: *doesn't matter where you go as an undergrad - it don't affect your chances of a grad school if you choose to apply.*

Epic fail. These interviews really underscore just how vapid American youth is today.

[@ericdell9206]

They don’t look smart

[@jameshopkins7333]

Penn University, where free speech is not accepted from a conservative.

[@snr1511]

As a French student, I’ll remember that the best reason why penn is a good university (compare to france) is the beautiful first girl. That thing make me realize that I have to come right here! 😂🤌🏼
