Admission rates of Wharton and Liberal Arts colleges.

<p>Do you guys know the admission rates for each... i know that wharton is really competitive and that they have a lower admission rate, but i wanted to know what exactly the admission rate is.</p>

<p>i BELIEVE wharton is close to 9 or 10%</p>

<p>I heard that CAS admin rate is slightly higher than Wharton's and the rates at Nursing and SEAS are higher than the university average. Can anyone validate this?</p>

<p>I believe the admissions rate at Wharton is like 12-13%.</p>

<p>at a wharton info session... they said they got 6k applicants and undergrad wharton has 2.4k people so thats 600 per grade... but at the info session their target size is like 500-550 so you do the math</p>

<p>They also have a yield of about 75%. So, around 8% admissions rate overall. Then engineering and nursing drag it the other way, so.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>"at a wharton info session... they said they got 6k applicants and undergrad wharton has 2.4k people so thats 600 per grade... but at the info session their target size is like 500-550 so you do the math"</p>

<p>Um... what kind of math are you doing? Assuming they had a 100 percent yield, 600 out of 6000 is already 10 percent. How did you get 8? lol</p>

<p>I'm going by the numbers published in Forbes magazine last year. They had like 6300 apps, accepted 8.5%, and enrolled 490 or something. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but that's what I thought.</p>

<p>No idea where the other kid got his data from. What I said looks wrong also, though.</p>

<p>Suffice it to say, it's one of the most difficult undergraduate programs in the country to be accepted to.</p>

<p>i was just reporting what i was told at a REAL wharton info session
my name is not "other kid" you doof :P jk</p>

<p>They aim for 500-550 entrants because the class size gets larger as transfers are accepted. The math is consistent - 6000 applicants, accept 11% = 666, 75% yield = 500 entrants</p>

<p>does 500-550 entrants include those in dual-degree programs like Huntsman/M&T?</p>

<p>i would assume so</p>

<p>what is Huntsman???</p>

<p>The</a> Wharton School - Undergraduate Division</p>

<p>There are four coordinated dual degree programs for undergrads here @ Wharton (Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology, Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business, Roy and Diana Vagelos Program in Life Sciences and Management, and Nursing and Health Care Management).</p>

<p>I have friends in M&T and Huntsman and they all love it, despite the extra workload. Doing a dual degree in Wharton is slightly more difficult than doing a dual concentration within Wharton, due to the fact that you have to satisfy all the sector requirements of the other school (SAS, SEAS, or Nursing).</p>

<p>However, it can't hurt to apply to Wharton via one of these programs. I have plenty of friends who applied to the programs as seniors in high school and didn't get in. It won't help or hurt your chances of getting in to Wharton as a whole.</p>
