Quaker Days gives admitted students a chance to see Penn up close and personal as they decide where they will spend the next four years of their lives. It also gives them the opportunity to meet future classmates while providing a look at Philadelphia, Penn’s home for more than two centuries.
Tables set up along Locust Walk offer prospective students and their families information about academics and life at Penn, highlighting what the school has to offer in academics and community.
Representatives from academic departments and other programs answer questions and offer insight as part of College Palooza on College Green. Over 44,000 students applied for the 2018-19 academic year, and only were 3,731 accepted. For students who haven't made their final enrollment decisions, Quaker Days holds events and information sessions to give a little preview of what life at Penn may be like. With the application process over, potential students who may have already visited campus previously can focus their attention on whether the course of study, or campus life, or student body, is a right fit.
