宾大是除哈耶普之外,我最早了解的学校之一。有段时间比较迷郎咸平,所以,知道了有名的沃顿商学院。后来仔细了解,发现宾大诞生了北美第一个医学院和第一所商学院——沃顿商学院,工程学院设计出了世界上第一台全电子数学计算机 “ENIAC”,开创了计算机科学发展的新时代。此外,宾大还有数不清的知名校友,如现任美国总统特朗普、投资家巴菲特、经济学家郎咸平、建筑学家梁思成和林徽因等等。
它有四个学院,除了普通的专业外,宾大很有特色的开启了多个学院合作的双专业。进去了也可以申请。当然如果想minor其他学院的专业也是可以的, 当然沃顿的最热门选课是个难题,不过总有办法解决的。下面是四个学院的双专业项目,这是转弯读沃顿的常规路径。

宾大的教育理念我非常接受,非常棒,不过难申请啊, 尤其是M&T双专业,简直是中国牛蛙追求的目标。我们看看他的数据吧。这是2017年的申请数据:
ED还是很有优势的哦。下面是宾大的标化数据,光有这些是不够的,宾大比较在意文书,活动和气质,几乎所有申请者都会面试。
宾大不能完全算分控,他对各方面的要求都非常的高,需要气质相投的学生。另外,宾大的官网上也明确写出了需要学生符合哪些气质,强烈建议孩子在申请写小文书的时候仔细阅读,思考吃透后再写。
Penn seeks students with intellectual curiosity, an interdisciplinary mindset, and a desire to contribute something positive to the world; people with genuine passions and the ability to turn their ideas and interests into action; and people whose talents and experience will make an impact on our community.
最后说下宾大的就业。一句话,不用愁了。各个学院出路都不差,学校的handshake网站帮忙找工作, 校友也经常过来做讲座,金融界的人脉更是深到爆,很多投行把Super Day(投行面试最重要的一天)放在宾大。
宾大的夏校其实也很棒,大家可以申请着试试,最后告诉一个妈妈们都喜欢的信息,费城(宾大所在地)买衣服和鞋子是免税的。妈妈们去了可以大采购,放心买买买,哈哈哈。又多了一个去宾大的理由!
