<p>Hi, I have a question. When applying to Wharton, do different adcoms view your application or is it viewed by the same people viewing the rest of the undergrads?</p>
<p>Isn't that info somewhere on the site? I have the vague feeling I read something about that a while back, but I don't really remember where ( or what it said). Sorry</p>
<p>lol such a helpful post megaman lol. nice thanks a ton ^_^</p>
<p>there is one admissions office and staff that reviews all of the applications for all of the undergrad schools</p>
<p>so suppose like, from my school, 50 kids apply to Penn, and 10 apply wharton, 20 apply CAS, 10 apply SEAS, and 10 apply nursing. All 50 of them will be viewed by the same staff? whether its nursing or engineering? Then why do people say wharton is more selective that rest of Penn? I mean, the applicants are being selected by the same staff selecting the rest? Is it due to the fact that the number of available seats in Wharton is relatively low?</p>
<p>oh and to add on to that, i always thought that if my friend and i apply wharton, we would only be competing with each other, not the rest of the kids from my school applying to CAS or w/e. Guess im wrong.</p>
<p>just because you're being evaluated by the same people doesn't mean that you're all being held to exactly the same standard.</p>
<p>They are looking for different qualities for the different schools. A good Wharton candidate might be a crappy SAS candidate and vice versa.</p>
<p>considering the two or three mandatory mgmt classes to the dozen or so of quantish classes mandatory for wharton piggies, i declare mathy people best suited to perform well in wharton.</p>
<p>that's not to say the uh athletic, handsome, charismatic, but mediocre (male?) whartonite wont get better opportunities 10 years down the road when shmoozing becomes comparable to gpa in weight...</p>
<p>or even that a college kid passionate in becoming great in a specific liberal arts field wont be able to jump into a wall street management position in a decade or two and skeet on those number crunching underclassmen....</p>
