<p>Seeing as I have nothing to do tonight since I unfortunately need to wake up early tomorrow, I’m extremely bored so I’ll go ahead and post over SAT scores + Early Decision Results (2016) correlations below:</p>

<p>As you can see, the only applicants with below a 2200 that were unhooked and admitted were the couple of 2190s (who admittedly had fantastic personal stats like ECs, as well as solid GPAs and presumably essays as well).</p>
<p>While students were rejected and deferred with above a 2200, the amount of acceptances was far higher, especially in the 2300+ range.
Keep in mind this includes CAS, SEAS, and Nursing. While I don’t remember the exact numbers, I believe the lowest accepted SAT score for Wharton was a 2260 for an unhooked applicant. An overwhelming majority of the accepted students were in the 2300+ range.</p>
<p>So, regardless, a 2300+ is not required for admission. I agree with that. No score guarantees admission unless you’re a recruited athlete who needs to meet a certain AI to be on the team.</p>
<p>Long story short: If you are unhooked, aim for a high 2100 at the absolute worst and make sure you’re bringing an otherwise solid application that brings out your interests and accomplishments to the fullest extent. In addition, make sure your GPA, rank, APs, and SAT IIs are all solid so your academic record is not in question. If you are unhooked and don’t want scores to be a major problem, shoot for 2250+.</p>
