<p>Hey, </p>
<p>I read about the admissions statistics, and I was wondering if the about 33% acceptance rate for ED applicants applied to Wharton as well?</p>
<p>If anyone can shed any light on the statistics for Wharton admission, that’d be amazing…</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>no way</p>
<p>wharton ED is more like 19-21%</p>
<p>or somehting like that</p>
<p>The overall acceptance rate for Wharton this year was 13.6%, compared to 20.8% for the entire university. I'm not sure about ED, though. Statistically, it's harder to get into Wharton.</p>
<p>MUCCCHHH Harder</p>
<p>CAS (college of arts and sciences) overall acceptance rate for class of 2009 was 15%, just slightly easier than Wharton</p>
<p>Here are the acceptance rates for the various school's of Penn, including the early acceptance rate. The data indicates that Wharton and The College have fairly similar acceptance rates:</p>
<p>"The Class of 2009 was chosen from an applicant pool of approximately 18,800 applicants. 3,912 applicants were admitted, 13,067 were rejected, and 1,297 were placed on the waiting list. The 20.8 percent acceptance rate represents a 0.4 percent decrease from the previous year. U Penn is expecting 2,420 applicants to matriculate. </p>
<p>U Penn's acceptance rate for early decision applicants was a record low of 16.7 percent, down 0.8 percentage points compared to the previous year. Last year, 2,611 out of 14,942 regular-decision applicants were accepted, while this year 2,579 out of 15,403 were accepted. </p>
<p>The College admitted 2,455 applicants this year, in line with the previous year. The School of Engineering and Applied Science admitted 850 applicants, also in line with the previous year. The Wharton School admitted 484 applicants; its acceptance rate of 13.6 percent declined compared to 15.2 percent the previous year. The School of Nursing admitted 123 applicants; its acceptance rate of 41.8 percent represents an increase compared to 39.7 percent the previous year."</p>

<p>Where does it say that the College's acceptance rate was 15%? I've never seen this published anywhere.</p>
<p>"U Penn's acceptance rate for early decision applicants was a record low of 16.7 percent, down 0.8 percentage points compared to the previous year."</p>
<p>Isn't the ED rate 33 percent. Penn's stats are always misleading and I don't really hold them with much confidence ever, b/c they are always shady!</p>
<p>My daughter who is CAS class of 2009 received a letter from the Dean of CAS and the 15% figure was stated in the letter.</p>
<p>Overall Admissions Rate: 20.8% (3749/17982)
Early Decision Adm Rate: 34% (1140/3420)
Regular Decision Adm Rate: 16.7% (2579/15403)</p>
<p>Nursing Overall: 41.8% (123/294)
SEAS Overall: 32.0% (850/2656)
SAS Overall: 21.3% (2455/11474)
Wharton Overall: 13.6% (484/3558)</p>
<p>*the 15% for SAS I believe is regular decision</p>
<p>Yup. I had posted that before.</p>
<p>So if Wharton overall is 13.6% (god damn how am I gonna get in LOL), what is the ED rate? To figure this out, basically how many kids applied ED to Wharton and what percent of Wharton was filled with ED kids...</p>
<p>Any way to find out all this information?</p>
<p>Penn doesn't release the ED/RD information separate for each of the schools.</p>
<p>Where can we find similar data for the joint degree programs?</p>
<p>If I recall, Wharton ED is 25-26%, which seems possible because College ED is 34%.</p>
<p>m&t and huntsman anyone know?</p>
<p>omfg how many times do i have to repeat that you can't look at acceptance rates to judge how hard a school is to get into.</p>
<p>Does anybody know avg. SAT scores (accepted) for each school?</p>
<p>TheStonedPandas, I can see that you are likely to bring up the quality of the applicant pool and cite University of Chicago as a university with a high admissions rate but very selective admissions in a follow up to your one-liner. However, before you do so, it needs to be realised that ultimately, admissions rates do give an excellent indicator to the selectivty of an institution. Additionally, in this case Wharton is being compared with SAS at Penn, both of which contain extremely qualified applicant pools. Therefore, the roughly 1% difference in acceptance rates coupled with the slightly stronger applicant pool of Wharton does not warrant a comment such as "MUCCCHHH Harder."</p>
<p>It is misleading to present Wharton admission as being far more difficult than admission to SAS at Penn.</p>
<p>Yes but wharton is a specialized school whereas SAS is the normal college at penn. Usually the specialized schools ahve less applicant (and generally more competitive) than the colleges.</p>
