2250 SAT Score low for Wharton?

<p>I got in Wharton with a 1990 SATI and 29 ACT. Pretty sure anything 2100+ is in the good range.</p>

<p>I don’t think test scores or grades or ec’s or hooks matter. I know someone who got in with less than a 2000. I also know someone who got in with less than a 3.5. I also know someone who got in who didn’t have any great ec’s. And, I know someone who got in who didn’t have any hooks. If the admissions committee likes you, they will admit you; it’s really that simple. If I were you, I wouldn’t bother to apply anywhere else. You’re a shoo-in!</p>

<p>i got in with a 1770, my ec’s were good but the thing that landed me a place in the school was my interview, make sure u do alot of further reading cuz that will make a huge difference, and stay away from textbooks, looks for books written by esteemed businessmen and economists and anything u think is relevant</p>

<p>its very hard to get in with anything below a 2200. the sweet spot would be 2250 and about. even then 2250 is cutting very close. you would be safest if you hit 2290 or above.</p>

<p>of course, there are kids that get in with scores lower than that but they are spectacular in some extra curricular aspect.</p>

<p>btw, these estimates are super scored.</p>

<p>what about GPA?
what range of GPA should you have?</p>

<p>This thread has been megabumped twice now…</p>

<p>3 times now</p>

<p>The quality of this thread is among the worst I’ve seen on CC. Don’t tell me these people get into Wharton.</p>

<p>Summary: they look for a wholistic package. </p>

<p>Be warned, a lot of people on forums will actually discouraging you from applying in order to reduce competition. Ex. Collegebound_07 was clearly doing that.</p>

<p>Damn, seriously? I knew competition was tough but i didnt know people were that desperate.</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

<p>sorry but almost everyone that got in with like 1900~2100 have EXTRAORDINARY EC’s or hooks. u don’t seem to qualify into such category… but 2250 is not bad, nevertheless</p>

<p>Lol! Collegebound was actually being facetious… Making fun of the absurd conversations on these threads. Oh is a score in the 99.2th percentile okay? You think I still have a shot if I cured cancer and only got in the 98.3rd percentile? ****. I’m just not going to bother. Kirkwood Community College is looking awfully attractive.</p>

<p>Bump, this thread is hilarious and CollegeBoard_07 and the OP are mega jerks</p>

<p>I know plenty of people who got in <2200, many even <2100…Internationals, Asian, no hooks, the worst-combo possible. </p>

<p>However, one with a 2050 had started two online businesses and one non-profit. The other with a 21xx was really into design and went to a design school and eventually started a design company.</p>

<p>It’s mainly about your passion, your ability to contribute to the community - if you can articulate that well in your app, even a 2000 won’t put you out of the running.</p>

<p>2250 is probably fine if you are unhooked.</p>

<p>No. Your score does not define you. People are all ove rthe place in terms of scores.</p>

<p>2250 is absolutely fine. i’m at penn now (not wharton, cas), and i know a handful of people in wharton that are pretty far below your 2250 and they got in. like honeybooboo143 said, scores don’t define you as a person or as an applicant.</p>

<p>PEOPLE!!! I am going to end this once and for all. I am indian. I got into Wharton. I got a 2260 superscored but a 35 ACT. I had a 720 and 740 on my math in SAT I but got an 800 and 35 on my ACT math. Conclusions: 2240 is not low; if you are not good at sat, show streghts in subject tests and act to make up for it. :)</p>

<p>My score according to SAT prep books is around +/- 2100. Any recommendations on a way of improving my score to 2200+?</p>
