Hey, I've been hearing a lot about the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) lately. Just curious: Is UPenn considered an Ivy League school, and is it a private or public university? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) is indeed an Ivy League school, which means it is one of the eight prestigious universities known for their academic excellence and selectivity. Additionally, UPenn is a private institution, not a public university. As a private school, it has more autonomous governance and relies more on private funding than state funds.
I hope this clears things up for you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
