I'll be attending Penn as a doctorate student this summer. I started out as a highschool drop out who went to community college. The whole Ivy League thing is so foreign to me, so I am doing as much research as I can. I appreciate you making this video. It was really nice to watch as a first time "big school" student and also as a minority individual. Good luck with your studies!
Make a video about the rigor at UPenn classes or different colleges. What you need to know about the academics. Pros and cons. Just in general, how to perform your best at UPenn. Class of 2024 here
That flex culture sounds crazy. I feel you on feeling like you need to be a part of that to feel comfortable but stay true to yourself. My daughter maybe coming to UPenn next year to play soccer.
Good job and thanks for being honest. I went to a school across town but I have a relative at UPenn right now. I have also been to parties out there and DJ'd on a bunch of occasions at frat parties and other events including high school welcome and alumni parties. Penn is the city's largest private employer and there are many research private orgs in UCity so he correct when he says the opportunities for research and internships is much higher at Penn than other places. Penn's campus is very nice and has a heavy lean towards that traditional old school Ivy look. When out that way I will sometimes walk around campus. Food is a personal choice but I think that the food is good with some nice food trucks and restaurants in the area. The things that surprised me about Penn are: 1. the number of people participating in sports. It's not just about studying. You will see tons of runners, tennis, basketball and intramural sports. 2. the partying. Things got wild at a few of the parties that I DJ'd and Penn folks drink a whole lot and get trashed. 3. The traditional look. He did touch on that and it is surprising how much Penn has that throwback look. British universities such as Oxford and Cambridge tend to also have that look.
Really nice video. My son is interested in Penn and you did a great job of laying out some of the behind the scenes info. Stuff you don't get in the brochure. Also appreciated your comments on the flex culture. Haha. Welcome to the Northeast!
I watched your college decision reaction video! Since then I have decided Penn is where I absolutely want to be. That’s so cool that you ended up there and that I remember you from that specific video! My decision comes out in exactly a week. I hope to see you on campus!!
Hey Tyler, I'm super late to this video lol but I just wanted to thank you for how helpful your channel has been! I'm an incoming freshman next fall (CAS'25 woo!), and you have no idea how reassuring it is for me to hear your honest perspective as a Penn student. Keep up the great work, I'll be binging your vids all the way up to (a hopefully in-person) move-in day :)
Congrats on your acceptance! Really happy these videos could help! Hopefully we perform well enough this semester with 🦠so you can get an in person experience for your first semester ! 👍🏾
i also want to go to med school and even though I’m class of ‘22 so I have a couple more years until I could even apply, Penn is my top choice. Thank you for the great video!👍🏾
Thanks for the video! I’m currently a sophomore at a Canadian high school and interested in applying to upenn’s BA/DDS program in my senior year so it was really interested to learn new things about the school. I hope to see you there!
Thanks for the video! It was interesting to hear about some of the informal stuff that you wouldn't find on the website - I was wondering if you have any friends who aren't on the preprofessional track, and if they ever feel a little left out due to how the preprofessional grind is so big at Penn?
Hey all, I'm a writer researching UPenn/the Wharton School for a biopunk novel I'm writing that is partially set there. (The "experiments" are actually in Romania though - UPenn is where my very confused, pharmacologically-altered Pip character finds himself after they've all convinced him that he's lost all his memories, everything he thinks he remembers is a nightmarish hallucination and he was only actually in Romania for a week undergoing treatment for a drug overdose.) Please tell me anything that, if you read it in a story, would show you that the writer did NOT know UPenn.
Yeah you can walk down locust now, it's not closed off or anything. Most buildings need a Penn card to access but some of the buildings open to the general public like Houston Hall and the Admissions Center might be open but I'm not sure if they are right now
@@dominicnavarro9314 Same. Would be nice if we both get accepted. I'm from Jamaica and it has always been my desire to go to a university overseas so I hope I get accepted. It would be cool if we both got accepted and meet each other on campus but yeah like what I said I wish you all the best.👍
hey Tyler, awesome video! really enjoyed the helpful content! was wondering if you know anything about UPenn's culture for inbound exchange students? actually am deliberating between usc and upenn for my abroad exchange, wanted to hear your 2 cents' worth on this if youve any, thank you!!! :)
Hey im not too sure about the culture for inbound exchange students since I don’t have that experience but I could connect you with a friend of mine from sophomore year who was an inbound exchange student, just dm me on Instagram !
Tyler, First of all, I love your videos. Second, I’m a Freshman currently who is shooting to be a Family Physician, I play basketball, and I want to attend UPenn, so naturally, I was drawn to your videos. I messed up big time with my grades. I had 3 B’s in my first semester. I am projected to have a 1480 on my SAT and I am currently volunteering at a Hospital (Not right now because of you know what). Do you think my first semester B’s will hurt my application to UPenn or any Ivy for that matter.
Sorry I'm just getting back to you finals were this week and it's been really busy but I really don't think that all schools like Penn are looking for absolute perfection. It seems like they definitely want top students but a few B's during freshman year should disqualify you from being a top student. Personally I had two B's during my freshman or sophomore year I forget but I improved on that and got all A's the rest of my years and I feel like that was in a weird way a plus for me because it showed schools that I struggled and overcame something instead of just floating through high school not facing a challenge. Either way I don't think it will hurt your application to Upenn or other Ivy's that much if at all.
@@tylermccormick8444 I got straight A's for my second semester and I am taking summer school Algebra Two with honors credit. I have a 4.11 Weighted GPA and a 3.75 unweighted. Does this help me in my applications as I overcame struggles and got A's for the rest of my high school career? Also, Does it benefit me to apply ED as UPenn is my dream school? What should I do to make my application that much more enticing?
Hey! Regarding the housing at PENN, if I want to be in Hill Housing, can my Program Community Requests change that? As in will the PCRs affecting which dorm I''m placed in?
Hi I wasn't in a PCR this year so I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure that if you get accepted to a Program community that housing will overrule whatever you requested initially. Like I know this year people in BFS were housed in Hill and some people applied to BFS to ensure they would live in Hill this year. You might be able to request a room change to another dorm but I'm not exactly sure how that process works when you're involved in a PCR.
I'm deciding where I want to actually apply to and a lot of the schools I'm into are in cities. I'm from a suburb n the midwest...were you able to adjust well? I know you get used to it with time but I guess I am a little nervous to be in a city on my own especially as a girl. I'm also first-generation, so I don't know anything about college let alone an urban one lol.
Question: Currently a Senior in Highschool with a 2.834 GPA, well that’s what it shows on my Powerschool App. But besides that would it still be late to apply to colleges in general such as line Rutgers and Montclair which those are somewhat close to me since i’m from NJ and i would just commute.
According to Rutgers, you can apply after deadlines but will be withdrawn from consideration if your school(s) of choice meet their enrollment goals (admissions.newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/applying/application-and-decision-dates). Montclair's deadline is May 1st (www.montclair.edu/admissions/apply-and-check-status/admissions-deadlines/). Good luck!!
Daniel Goncharov wait, how i was suppose to take the SAT March 14th on a Saturday but then days before they announced that they will be cancelling the SAT Testing and that we would have to reschedule, i went to reschedule but then they didn’t give me an exact makeup date since by that following week my school went into quarantine so now i’m stuck, nervous and scared of what to do and how to take the SAT!! :(((
Dongdinger i just saw this cause i was looking back at this comment and rethinking my life choices these pasts months. Regardless i’m from WNY, NJ and i waiting so late because i didn’t cared about school since freshman-senior year till like basically it really hit me after this whole corona and now i regret it so so much.
Dongdinger and now my only option is to go to HCCC (Hudson County Community College) and i really really don’t want to go their and want to take a gap year or idk. Rn i’m so fucking lost and in my head i keep wishing to turn back time a couple months. I know that they odds were against me and i could have easily gotten in as i could have easily been rejected as well at Rutgers NB but just that i’m hit my lowest point in life that it’s killing me and stressing me out everyday when i either go to work or about to sleep this thought just don’t escape my head and the pain aches so much! Seeing people going to RU from schools such as High Tech Highschool in Secaucus and knowing one person that’s going to Penn State and leaving this August pains me so dearly.
Make sure to request a re evaluation! I couldn’t afford either at first and I sent a few emails and showed other options I had and they cut the price significantly. Worst they can say is no ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@tylermccormick8444 Thanks dude would look into that. Cause currently I would have too pay 27k excluding personal costs to attend Penn. That's just not viable for me
Hi there, I'm a rising HS senior thinking about EDing to Penn. The thing is, I'm pretty shy when meeting new people, but once/if I can find a real genuine group of friends I sorta become extroverted. RIght now I'm extremely nervous that I won't have the confidence to walk up to people and make genuine friends and I'll hate my time at college. I'm wondering how easy was it to make friends during the beginning og school, and how many of those friends actually stuck throughout the year? Also, does social life depend on Greek Life? I don't want to go to a school where I'm seen as a social outcast or my social life is dead because I don't participate in Greek Life. Are parities blocked off to non Greek Life members? Can you explain that a bit? and finally are friend groups and social scenes separated between internal schools? Meaning how does the social life at Wharton translate to the College? Do you have real friends in Wharton? Thanks so much
Hey man. I myself and not an extremely outgoing person but making friends was really easy since most people felt the same anxiety about it. I made a lot of friends by going to a prefreshmen program. I would recommend attending one if you have the time. I also made a lot of friends during new student orientation since there are a bunch of events made for you and your hall to get to know each other along with other students. Most all of my friends stuck throughout the year with some of them becoming closer friends. I met more people who became close friends after the initial few weeks. Social life at Penn doesn’t depend on whether you join Greek life. It def doesn’t hurt but it doesn’t make or break anything. Being able to get into parties, mixers, date nights, and formals really depends on who you know. Parties are sometimes open. Mixers, date nights, and formals are usually closed but it depends on who you know in the organization. Friends groups typically range across schools. Sometimes people in Wharton, Nursing, and Engineering can be kind of cliquey because they have to take the same classes but that’s even true for some majors in the college so. I have pretty good friends in all 4 schools.
When you apply to upenn, you apply specifically to Wharton. Wharton is the undergrad/grad business school on campus. For undergrads, you major in economics but specialize in a certain field in your junior and senior year. That could be finance, accounting, marketing, etc. No ivy league school has a pure business major, since they are all liberal arts. Penn is the best ivy if not school in the world for business education. However, they kind of funnel you into two different career tracks and jobs: consultant or the finance sector. Sure, grads go into other aspects of business, but the overriding majority go into those 2. Hope this helps :)
la dodgers so the “business” major at penn is called “economics”? only at penn and some ivy leagues or all ivy leagues? then what about the csu/uc that have separate business administration major and economics major?
@@TechVHD yeah so pretty much uc and csu schools offer pure business degrees as well as econ. Econ is a lot of trends and graphs and math, while business is accounting, marketing, administration etc. If you go to school for a business degree, you will do some general classes and then the business requirements. Penn and other ivies are considered "liberal arts" schools - meaning that they want their students' education to be well rounded and holistic. They all offer econ degrees because it is a more "well rounded" field - it incorporates math, business, and some history under one degree. Penn and other ivy students wishing to take econ will also take many other courses that dont have to do with their major. Schools like these encourage diversity of thought and mind, so they want students to take courses that make them more well rounded.Anyways, the econ degree you receive from Wharton is very different from other highly selective schools and ivys. You'll take marketing,accounting, and finance, along with pure econ courses. So, for thisreason, Wharton's econ degree gives you a really good business education as well. I hope this answered your question.
la dodgers so on us ranking it says number one business school as upenn so yeah they have an mba from wharton, but for undergrad, what’s the business major called? economics? is it the same at all ivy leagues? what about stanford?

I don't want to go to a school where I'm seen as a social outcast or my social life is dead because I don't participate in Greek Life. Are parities blocked off to non Greek Life members? Can you explain that a bit? and finally are friend groups and social scenes separated between internal schools? Meaning how does the social life at Wharton translate to the College? Do you have real friends in Wharton?
Thanks so much
Hey man. I myself and not an extremely outgoing person but making friends was really easy since most people felt the same anxiety about it. I made a lot of friends by going to a prefreshmen program. I would recommend attending one if you have the time. I also made a lot of friends during new student orientation since there are a bunch of events made for you and your hall to get to know each other along with other students. Most all of my friends stuck throughout the year with some of them becoming closer friends. I met more people who became close friends after the initial few weeks.
Social life at Penn doesn’t depend on whether you join Greek life. It def doesn’t hurt but it doesn’t make or break anything. Being able to get into parties, mixers, date nights, and formals really depends on who you know. Parties are sometimes open. Mixers, date nights, and formals are usually closed but it depends on who you know in the organization.
Friends groups typically range across schools. Sometimes people in Wharton, Nursing, and Engineering can be kind of cliquey because they have to take the same classes but that’s even true for some majors in the college so. I have pretty good friends in all 4 schools.
@@tylermccormick8444 Thanks so much for your thought out reply. I'm leaning towards Wharton for ED (no way in hell I'd get in RD haha). Thanks again!

First Comment!! 🙏
so what’s the business major undergrad for penn? economics?
When you apply to upenn, you apply specifically to Wharton. Wharton is the undergrad/grad business school on campus. For undergrads, you major in economics but specialize in a certain field in your junior and senior year. That could be finance, accounting, marketing, etc. No ivy league school has a pure business major, since they are all liberal arts. Penn is the best ivy if not school in the world for business education. However, they kind of funnel you into two different career tracks and jobs: consultant or the finance sector. Sure, grads go into other aspects of business, but the overriding majority go into those 2. Hope this helps :)
la dodgers so the “business” major at penn is called “economics”? only at penn and some ivy leagues or all ivy leagues? then what about the csu/uc that have separate business administration major and economics major?
la dodgers can you see my reply above
@@TechVHD yeah so pretty much uc and csu schools offer pure business degrees as well as econ. Econ is a lot of trends and graphs and math, while business is accounting, marketing, administration etc. If you go to school for a business degree, you will do some general classes and then the business requirements. Penn and other ivies are considered "liberal arts" schools - meaning that they want their students' education to be well rounded and holistic. They all offer econ degrees because it is a more "well rounded" field - it incorporates math, business, and some history under one degree. Penn and other ivy students wishing to take econ will also take many other courses that dont have to do with their major. Schools like these encourage diversity of thought and mind, so they want students to take courses that make them more well rounded.Anyways, the econ degree you receive from Wharton is very different from other highly selective schools and ivys. You'll take marketing,accounting, and finance, along with pure econ courses. So, for thisreason, Wharton's econ degree gives you a really good business education as well. I hope this answered your question.
la dodgers so on us ranking it says number one business school as upenn so yeah they have an mba from wharton, but for undergrad, what’s the business major called? economics? is it the same at all ivy leagues? what about stanford?
