<p>sorry, i make a point of not judging stats.</p>
<p>if you took a wharton insurance and risk management - type course you'd learn about valuation of your expected losses and ex ante costs... which is pertinent to the costs of application fees relative to expected admissions decisions... but that's off topic.</p>
<p>you're better off sending applications due before the early decision reply date - if you are not accepted early, you'll regret not having sent them, and frankly no opinion you'll receive on this board should convince you otherwise.</p>
<p>look man, many people will get rejected from Wharton. I will probably be one of them. The best thing is to realize why u wanted to go to Wharton. I want to go there because I want to start my own company one day and penn has the best business program anywhere.</p>
<p>I don't care about i-banks. I don't want to work for sacks of Gold. And I don't want to be that ******* who got in because of connections/money.</p>
<p>Even if I don't get into Penn, I know that they are losing a valuable student. Sure my scores are not of the caliber as of my competition, but I have ambition and I know everything about Penn in and out (figuratively speaking of course).</p>
<p>So relax and just wait it out. if u get in, congratulations. If not, ur not alone. There will be more than 12,000 people rejected from Penn this year.</p>
<p>jcoveney used to (do you still?) work in the wharton undergraduate admissions office, so it's not like he's just making stupid claims.</p>
<p>also, why are you insulting the ability of whartonites to be humble if you want to be one at this point next year? or do you consider yourself arrogant and have no qualms about asserting so in what some could take as an offensive way? and do you therefore believe arrogance is a worthy quality to possess?</p>
<p>i have (technically) a @wharton.upenn.edu email address, and i strive to live humbly.</p>
<p>"you're better off sending applications due before the early decision reply date - if you are not accepted early, you'll regret not having sent them"</p>
<p>tenebrous... I dont wanna spend 1000 bucks, and then get into Penn early. My plan is to send the rest of the apps right after dec. 15 in case of a deferral/rejection. Why would that not be ok?</p>
<p>This post is about how much I truly despise everything you stand for vis-a-vis the M*T program, Penn admissions, and college admissions in general.</p>
