Just a question. What is the reason people say Penn Wharton when they are applying to undergrad at U of Penn?

</p>
<p>Wharton is godly at the University of Pennsylvania..</p>
<p>I was kind of in the same boat as you last year--Chinese applicant from a competitive geographic area.</p>
<p>Anyway, some comments:
[ul]
[<em>] Wharton and Harvard's acceptance rates are approximately equal. Both were 9% this past year. However, I don't believe that 9% includes Wharton's dual degree programs, which have even lower acceptance rates. Wharton's ED acceptance rate was lower than the EA acceptance rate of Harvard.
[</em>] To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly Wharton is looking for beyond the obvious. However, experience with business-oriented extracurriculars and classes isn't the factor that leads to acceptance. I didn't have any of that, and my essays were as far from business-oriented as a Whartonite can get.
[li] In response to CoolaTroopa's comment: If you can think of an interesting spin on the Fed Challenge essay, go for it. But wait, how many applicants are going to be writing about business-oriented competitions? Probably a lot. And honestly, I've never read an exceptional "extracurricular" essay. They tend to be generic, packaged, cliche narratives that lack genuine substance. Even if you may think that your essay's unique, admissions officers have probably read dozens just like it.[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>how was your essay? nvm that was a retarded question after reading your stats</p>
<p>Well, he's in at Rutgers!</p>
<p>bang out a 2300, lie about an activity or two, and you'll be set at most.</p>
<p>LMFAO</p>
<p>If you'r low income that would really help, they need to take a few Asian guys from NJ! Raise the CR for the top schools.</p>
<p>Chicago is an extremely white school. I think we'd welcome any color, over-represented or not.</p>
<p>I think the first thing I talked about when I called home for the first time was how I didn't see any Asian or Indian kids, or kids from the NY metro area.</p>
<p>At the same time, though, if you're looking for an undergrad business and you like the idea of putting your education to use in career, you would NOT like Chicago.</p>

so basically, collegekid100, it's bad that i'm a rich/well-off asian?</p>
<p>lol piscataway...i used to live there until middle school.</p>
