<p>Looking for any advice on the best ways to prepare for a finance major at Wharton. Any tips on math courses, forums, interships, etc... What are important factors admissions will look at and does your major have anything to do with how they will look at your application. Does Wharton expect you to have knowledge of finance and investing before you are get to school?</p>
<p>All students in the Wharton undergraduate program major in business, but each selects an area of concentration specific to their interests. The business concentration requirement is designed to provide an in-depth focus in one specialty area. The concentration consists of four courses above the introductory level.</p>
<p>Concentrations are often declared by the end of the sophomore year so that students can register for upper-level courses during Advance Registration, but the timeline to declare a concentration is flexible. Students usually begin their business concentration coursework in the junior year. Students can change their concentration at any time.</p>
<p>There is no need to prepare for a finance concentration and Wharton does not expect you to have knowledge of finance and investing, but a strong interest would help.</p>
