<p>Hey guys, I'm an international student and I haven't had the time to take the SAT Subject tests, so I simply took the ACT. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of anybody who has gotten into Penn, specifically Wharton, with just the ACT?</p>
<p>I did. Got a 33
E 34 M 35 R 28 S 34</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. Did you get into Wharton? And are there any others who you know that have gained admission with just the ACT?</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, the average ACT score for admitted students is in the 31-33 range. </p>
<p>My highest composite in one sitting is a 29. But if I superscored my two sittings for the test, it’d be a 31. I got in Penn with a 29, but I definitely suggest to aim in the 31+ zone if you can.</p>
<p>Sitting 1: 29
E: 28 / M: 31 / R: 34 / S: 24</p>
<p>Sitting 2: 29
E: 30 / M: 33 / R: 29 / S: 25</p>
<p>I submitted SATI and SATII scores as well though. My SATIIs were decent, but my SATI was below the Penn average and around the 1900s range.</p>
<p>i’m sure if you have a decent ACT, they’ll focus on other aspects of your application and i agree with the above post</p>
<p>@cuteaccountant: did you have a hook that you think got you in or that something else was unique about u? i’m just curious because my scores aren’t super stellar either</p>
<p>I think my only hooks would be being Philly resident and having a scholarship from a foundation situated in Penn. My interviewer wrote a pretty glowing report about me too. I’m also first generation to college but I don’t think that played much of a part. I have no significant awards and I never did any ECs that are the awe-inspiring or prestigious.</p>
<p>Well, you did apply early decision, didn’t you? Since you’re Penn '14, you must have. That in and of itself could arguably be a “hooK” (well, not really, but the acceptance rate is higher =P)</p>
<p>^^ you need to understand that a higher number does not correspond to an easier admission. Just look at all the 2300’s who got rejected/ deferred.</p>
<p>^Too true.</p>
<p>Top school admissions is holistic and certainly depends on a variety of factors.</p>
