Arts and Sciences Vs. Wharton acceptances

<p>wharton also has a tiny class to fill.</p>

<p>why does it even matter, they specialize in different things. it depends on what you want to do in life... not the acceptance rate</p>

<p>Let's solve this like gentlemen...</p>

<p>and have a pistol duel!</p>

<p>Here's the stats for the 514 students ENTERING Wharton in September 2004: average SAT is 1440; for Huntsman it is 1526; for Fisher it is 1523 and for Nursing/Health Care Management it is 1407. You can take these numbers to the bank.</p>

<p>Actually JohnnyK you were the one that brought a superfluous anti-Wharton aura into this thread. There was nothing before your post that seemed to insinuate a "perception of superiority" around Wharton students other than what you said.</p>

<p>I agree with the comment above.</p>

<p>why is there such hostility on these boards? espec. when it comes to prestige of programs and **** like that? I'll reiterate: apply to the school/division that you want to go to, not the one with the lowest acceptance rate.</p>

<p>Well not really. It was just Johnny's bragging about his SATs. : )</p>

<p>As they say, if you've got it, flaunt it.</p>

<p>would a 760M, 690CR, 730WR (12E) be too low for Fisher?</p>

<p>The SATs were first known as the "Scholastic Achievement Test"
Then in 1941, they figured that it didn't actually measure achievement, so they changed the name to "Scholastic Aptitude Test"
Interestingly in 1990, it was realized that the SAT didn't even measure Aptitude, so the college board changed its name to "Scholastic Assessment Test"
In 1994, they were apparantly unsatisfied with that name, since it didn't actually assess anything, so they de-acronymized it and in the present form, "SAT" stands for nothing.</p>

<p>So there you go: Since 1990, the SAT doesn't officially measure aptitude. </p>

<p>And by the way, in SATs, SEAS pwns everyone else (avg. 1460 for matriculating class of 2005). </p>

In a few posts back, the average for the Jerome Fisher was posted, so look there!</p>

<p>yeah, I know that Aurelius. I was basically asking what the midrange is. The avg might be 1523, but the midrange is what matters.</p>

<p>I doubt anyone has the answer to that question. As far as I know, the stat breakdown for SATs are not even officially released to the public. The only places where the average score data appear are on areas like the matriculation welcome letters and program-specifc presentations.</p>
