Good GPA + DAT >>>>>>>> Research.

Research is only icing on the cake, assuming u have a cake. Icing w/o cake is disgusting. Likewise, research is never a deal maker/breaker.

I bet there will be someone thinking "well I just eat the icing and throw away the cake," but lets not take my analogy too seriously.

Let's face it... Penn is a research school. If you show no interest in research, there are better and cheaper schools to go to.

If research was really that big of a deal to them, don't you think they would ask about it in their secondaries?

Mayo on a sandwich, butter on toast, mustard on a hot dog. I could keep going with better analogies...

The only one that really works is mustard on a hotdog. I've known many of men to eat just the mayo, or just the butter.
