Best ECs Wharton

<p>What are the best extracurriculars you can have if you plan on applying to wharton</p>

<p>Curing cancer is a solid EC regardless of what field you want to enter because chances are your discovery will help atleast half the admissions committee either now or in the future. Another good one is starting a company that has annual profits of about $1,000,000. Another nice EC is spending your free time donating millions to Penn. Finally, competing in the Olympics is always a plus. Other than these very good ECs, the best you can do is show interest in business, and hold leadership positions (note, kids have gotten into Wharton without business ECs or significant leadership. They do crazy cool stuff though).</p>

<p>lol yea lemme ask my dad for a couple n dollars...lol thanx though</p>

<p>There is no set formula to get into Wharton. IMO, never do an EC to get into college because if you don't get into your top choices, it will feel like a waste of time. Do what interests you. If you get into Wharton, that is a plus.</p>

<p>Well basically, what I have heard is that the admissions officers just want to see that you've done something, anything. They like to see leadership in activities as well... officer roles.... president of something... stuff like that</p>

<p>Haha funny... Another good one is starting a company that has annual profits of about $1,000,000. because I started a company that grossed 70k and profited 20k...... Maybe that will help me.</p>
