- Hi Guys! This video is so long overdue... my schedule has been so hectic! However I hope you guys enjoy this! As always, ask anything you want in the comments (okay... maybe not "Ellise y r u ugly" but you get the gist) Thanks for watching and subscribing (if you're subscribed)!
So grateful for the support from u guys it means the world
DISCLAIMER MY PROS AND CONS ARE TAILORED TO MY EXPERIENCE. I'm a first generation, low-income, minority student at any Ivy. My experiences could be totally different from others who haven't grown up in the same environment I had, or even people who pursue different majors. - บันเทิง
Very well thought out and balanced view of Penn from a perspective that is not often heard. Great video!
It's a rare find explanation regarding pros and cons Ivy League.
Thanks for sharing such great big thinking. I am planning to attend the college next year as graduate student at Master of TESOL.
So, thanks
Thank you for your honesty and video!!! ❤
I agree with your statement about mental health being shoved under the rug. I am a student at UC Berkeley, and its the same story here, especially with first-gen, income students. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for Penn's videos, they were very useful in my application and served as a good guide for me. Thank you and keep going!!!
I really appreciate your efforts,thx alott❤️❤️❤️
Ahhh it sounds perfect for me
Your hair is beautiful. Love curly hair.
Thank you!
I want to go to U Penn bc my mom went there and I live right outside Philly
Ellise why r u ... oh oops XD. Awesome video! Hope I get in, dk if I will tho lol.
You are the coolest!
Would you say that the mental health program is improving? There were several discussions of increased spending on mental health on the parent group but I'm not sure about their effectiveness
Thanks for this!
I might be coming in the fall 😀
Is the academic workload unbearable? Are there tutoring options for your class and if so do they help?
I like Penn but im a bit scared of the academic rigor just because my stats aren't exactly "prime level" and idk if itd be too much for me😬
even if you don't get in, you can go to college, get high grades....finish college, and reapply
I don’t know if you’ll reply but how are those «dances» that I’ve heard the university has?
This is very random but I was curious if UPenn asks for your tardies from classes in high school when you send an application?
No they don’t, nor do they ask for absences
Liked and subscribed 😘
I plan on going I live in Philadelphia
Lol I'm a freshman at another university but from what I've seen/researched i love Penn. Lol is it bad if I bought a Penn shirt lol?
Malcolm AdrianX nah
Do you know if the majority of professors over at Wharton are there for research-related purposes as well?
Gentoo Yes, even more so
Did you get stressed out a lot as a student at Penn? I heard the work load is super heavy. I expect heavy work load from an Ivy League, however, I'm afraid that I don't have enough time for myself. If the work load is true, do you have any recommendation to maintain stable grades or keep up with others? Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
Stress is DEFINITELY real, and it is true that the work load is heavy. To get stable grades, I recommend getting good sleep, it's sooooo important! Also, try every study method and location until you find one that works well. How you study and where you study can really impact your productivity. Find a way to keep track of all of your assignments and their due dates so you get an idea of how to allot your time. That's all I can think of off of the top of my head! And a quick tip for stress, don't compare yourself to others! Everyone goes at their own pace, and trying to keep up with others leads to emotional stress. Everyone's experience is unique, do what's best for you!
What is considered 1st generation for Penn?
I'm really confused about the 4 schools. If I want to go to wharton, do I take 2 years in arts and sciences then go to my choice of school? How does this system work?
I'm not super sure myself, but I think this website will help admissions.upenn.edu/admissions-and-financial-aid/preparing-for-admission/transfer-admission/wharton-school-transfer
:-)
Can you please do a financial aid video and tell us how but works? How were you able to go to penn for free?
Great idea!! But basically I go for free because I'm really low income.
Ellise Starr lmao same sis
Very nice
What do you think about the “competitive” nature at penn? Is it cut throat?
personally i haven't experienced any "direct" competitiveness (e.g. a person or several people actively competing against me for something), but i definitely would say that because a lot of students end up doing well internship and job-wise, sometimes there is pressure to feel like you have to be doing the same things. but that's my own experience! :-)
+Waleed Masood Penn alum here! Yes, it's very competitive especially in the classes that are graded on a curve. I was a double major English/Enonomics in the College of Arts & Sciences (pre-Law; I went to Penn for law school too). People don't try to sabotage each other or anything, but in my Econ classes people definitely competed for grades, even as we shared notes with our friends and studied together.
Did you meet your roommate through random selection?
As a freshman, I found my roommate through a facebook page for roommate searches. From sophomore year to now, I live with friends!
does the aid cover ur housing and living expenses too along with tuition?
yes, it's supposed to.
Is it going crazy up there Ellise?
hahaha pretty much!
this vid made me regret applying... lmao
The minute you said penn was liberal I was hooked
cute
What dorm did you live in freshman year?
I lived in The Quad! (In Speakman within Ware)
i hated it! lol
Is Wharton good for undergrad? Can u tell whether they teach good or not
It’s definitely number 1 right now.
i took a few wharton classes and they're some of my favorites! the lectures are very interactive and the professors really try to keep it from being a class where you just look at a board and take notes. so if the rest of the wharton classes are like that then i'd say they have a pretty solid program!
@@ElliseStarr thank you so much for sharing this insightful experience 😊✨
@@asmijain2695 But the cost is a hefty amount.
@@vanshikamittal3400 apply for financial aid!
Hey There, I’m a low income student who was just admitted to UPenn. Would you be willing to chat with me regarding your own experience?
Hi, how do you like it?
@@nicoleortiz130 I ended up choosing to enroll at Stanford!
@@ethansperla6009 OMG THATS SO GOOD!
hey
i'm glad that you're not paying $70K a year to go there...i'm glad that you're going there for free...sorry about the shitty food and rodents but i'm glad you made friends and i hope you continue to make friends
Thank you!
what was your sat score ?

Do they have a good nursing program at UPenn
Coffee4life I believe it’s considered the best nursing program in the US, or at least one of the best. Very hard to get in to as well!
Best nursing school in the world actually
Hey
Btw what’s your major??
Cognitive Science with a focus in Computation and Cognition :)
Heyyy
$70 ,000 jesus
You only pay that if your parents' income is over $200k. They have very good financial aid based on need, so no one should need to take out a loan to attend. If you watch the who video, you see that she is getting full financial aid since she is 1st gen/low income.
All private colleges are around 70k.
Private high school is $89,000 put up lol
youre cute. i am glad you did not do an entitlement video. i think you have some sensible issues to bring up, esp poor food and dorms at $70,000. And profs at the top of research and meeting people who are amazing or inspiring, whether roommate or hall mate, etc. I went to Brown. Similar experience. But our food I think was better; not gourmet but.....we ate well, and if not, great salad bar.
you are cute lol
you are cuter!
Upenn called me “unemployable as a secretary” in federal court when I sued for discrimination. While they were doing this, they were covering up for a doctor who drugged and raped female job applicants. I type 100wpm and was EMPLOYED as a freelance medical transcriptionist at the time. If you have no problem with this you’re not anyone I’d respect, but boy you sure like the people who did that to me (and to the poor rape victim). You have laid down with dogs. Don’t whine when you wake up with fleas. Besides, with the world going broke everyone is going to have to start over, and those who can live most inexpensively are the new rich.
I’ll spare you all the off-campus housing horrors I know about since you’d probably say I was just whining anyway. Sleep well!
If this happened at UPenn, it would’ve made news, perhaps you’re mixing up with PennState
Oh, so anyone who is even a bit traditional or conservative is not welcome. Got it.
