<p>Don't worry about it MisterA, they know students make mistakes.</p>
<p>mistera, ahahah you are fine. i actually submitted my essays last year after reading them over and over and over again, out loud and in my head.</p>
<p>last week, i looked at them over again, and found out that i left out a preposition too. and i got it in. im pretty sure it's okay.</p>
<p>How are the class sizes and do professors try to know your name and are professors accessible outside of class?</p>
<p>(another Wharton freshman here)</p>
<p>Javous:
Class sizes are decent. There are some big lectures (Econ 10 and Stat 101 come to mind for me, each has at least students in each section), but I also have a writing seminar which has about 14 students in it. Classes like management and legal studies have about 60 students to a class.</p>
<p>As for profs trying to know your name & being accessible:
some profs are more distant than others. Profs are generally fairly easily accessible during office hours, outside of that it can be a little bit harder to get in touch with the big lecture ones.
However, my writing seminar teacher has been at Penn a long time (it's his 20th year teaching this class) and if he sees you walking around campus he'll take the time to stop and chat with you. </p>
<p>Basically, if it's a small class, the professor will be much more likely to know your name and be accessible outside of class. I was sitting in Huntsman today and I saw two students flag down their professor as he was walking by and he took the time to come over and answer the question they had on the assignment they were working on.</p>
<p>Regarding dual degrees in Wharton & Math at the College: Even though there are some overlapping requirements, given the demanding course load at Wharton & the general requirements at both schools, is it even possible to do this in 4 yrs?</p>
<p>im planning on doing the same thing so id like to know this as well</p>
<p>TSATF: By the management class, do you mean the Introduction class or another management class?</p>
<p>bump...can anyone answer the dual degree question please. thanks.</p>
<p>It's entirely possible to do Wharton and math in 4 years. Good luck keeping up the motivation though - it's hard to get more theoretical than math and more practical than Wharton.</p>
<p>what were your SATs?</p>
<p>Javous - they were referring to MGMT 100, which contains a lecture of about 60 and a recitation of 10. MGMT 101, Introduction to Management, contains a lecture of 100+ and a recitation of up to 25.</p>
<p>bump............</p>
<p>It is much easier to do a dual degree in Math + Wharton than it is to do Engineering + Wharton, so yes, it is possible.</p>
<p>Two questions here:
1. What were the general professions of your professors, were they always teaching, or are the accomplished investment bankers/accountants/business legals and the like?
2. Roughly how many students are there of Asian background, percentage wise do you think, and if I am applying from Asia, but I am not Asian (born in CT and have US passport) will i be classified as Asian? (I know your not in admissions but I would like to know because this could make it a lot harder)</p>
<p>I'm assuming from your post you're caucasian, and I can't guarantee it 100%, but I'm pretty sure you'd be classified under "International" (or "Caucasian").
Though the percentage of Asians (ethnicity-wise) is really high at Penn...I'm pretty sure it's an easy statistic to find, but I'm too lazy to google it at the moment.</p>
<p>I am caucasian, but would i be international or domestic? cause i hold us pasport and residence.</p>
<p>If your permanent address is in the US - like you're only in HK for a semester or something - then you're domestic. If not, I think you can apply as either domestic or international, but that could just be at some schools. Call the admissions office if it matters.</p>
<p>I believe upwards of 30% of undergrads classify themselves as Asian.</p>
<p>Here's</a> a list of Wharton faculty from A - Z. If you want to search by department, click on the department name on the right and the professors' links should be on the right panel. Sometimes they have a link to their personal website under their photo and there is a link to their CV from there.</p>
<p>Anybody knows if a third recommendation letter, say from outside school, accepted by penn? or if it's good for application?</p>
<p>theoneo, </p>
<p>Thanks for the list. No I have lived in HK for thirteen years now, I will check the Penn info packet at my school to see if it answers any questions.</p>
<p>llgg2000 - yeah they'll take a third recommendation if it adds something special. I sent a third one from my teacher at a summer program that was very specific to my long-term career goals.</p>
