Hey guys, I'm really interested in applying to the University of Pennsylvania, and I'm curious about their graduation rate. Does anyone know what percentage of students graduate in four years? Thanks in advance for the help!
Hello! The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has a strong graduation rate, reflecting the quality of the education and resources offered. The 4-year graduation rate at UPenn is approximately 86%.
Keep in mind that external factors or students' individual circumstances may influence graduation timelines, but this percentage gives you a general idea of the school's commitment to helping its students succeed and graduate in a timely manner. Additionally, if you expand the timeline to 6 years, to allow for unforeseen disruptions to education like health issues, that rate goes up to 97%.
