shot at upenn without research?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
they seem to emphasize it pretty heavily... if you're just average, is it a no?

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.
 
I did basically no reasearch, too and got in, although I am not going there..
 
ok, thanks. i was just wondering since their mission statements mention research like 4 times.
