Wunderkind Chooses Penn (Wharton)

Ah, another story of a kid who got into a million schools. While we really wish that news outlets would stop drooling over accomplished 17-year-olds and focus on the issues of our time, UTB doesn't get to run the media. But we do get to pat ourselves on the collective backs because this chick got into a billion schools and chose Penn.

What could have possibly sealed the deal for Penn when she was looking at a collective $3 million in scholarships from 26 schools (but also someone should inform ABC 7 Chicago that scholarships don't quite work like that and you actually don't just get to add up the amounts)? Could it have been the Quaker mask she received in that admissions folder of fun? The tear-jerker video of Amy G trying to explain how she can't even about the Class of 2019?

According to media reports, it's possible that this future frosh was drawn to the "Wharton School of Business." Definitely a pretty obscure academic program, but we wish this lil genius Quaker the best of luck in that quiet corner of campus where the meek and humble Wharton students gather (like where even is Huntsman? Maybe it's one of those behind the Quad?). Anyway, welcome to Penn (and UTB)!
