<p>I'm nearly 100% sure that I'm applying to Wharton instead of CAS.<br>
With that said, I have an 800 in math, 700 in CR, and 710 in writing.
On the ACT, I made an 32 comp. (34 math, 31 on both CR and writing)
I'm also taking the SAT IIs in December even if I'm sending my ACT score to Penn.</p>
<p>Does my high math subscore give an advantage (and override) my low reading and writing scores?</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! :D</p>
<p>Keep in mind that you’re competing against others instead of against yourself for Wharton. The fact you have an 800 math is terrific. However, the vast majority of other Wharton applicants are going to have 780+ math scores as well.</p>
<p>To expand the discussion a bit, do higher reading scores also make up for lower math scores? My math is actually a bit lower than 780. I applied to Wharton with 740 on math and 730 on math2, but higher than average CR scores (770, 750 on literature). Would this be frowned upon, make no difference, or make me interesting because I’m different? I ask because out of 1600, my scores are almost the same as the OP.</p>
<p>All you people who are worrying about not getting practically a 800 on a section… you really shouldn’t. Anything above a 700 is already good enough, and anything above is better. As long as your essays and extracurriculars are good, you really should not be worrying about SAT scores. It’s great to have an 800 on a section or close to a 2400 overall, but it’s just a score. It does not explain your personality or what you will be bring to Penn. So what if a lot of people applying to Wharton have 780s on each section? There are people with 1900s and low 2000 scores getting in Wharton too.</p>
<p>And in response to the OP, I think your high math subscore is an advantage for Wharton. They’re not going to be like “Wow what a pity, you only got a 700 in reading. We don’t know if we want to accept you now.” You could have done better, but it is not a disadvantage that your CR and W scores are not as high as your math - since they’re not low anyways.</p>

<p>There are always going to be people getting in with less than average test scores (In the majority of these cases, the applicants are extremely hooked). However, we have to face fact that the average SAT of a Wharton Admit is around 2200.</p>
<p>I agree with Yuenie though, you can’t worry about what’s already done.</p>
<p>No offense to anyone, but I kinda think its funny how stressed out people get over an SAT score of “only” 2200 on here 
Im applyin to Wharton this year with a 2050. According to collegeboard, that puts me at the 95th percentile of all tests. Dont let CC freak you out. 
The majority of people, incuding many of the chancers, on here are paranoid high achieveing students with absolutely amazing scores! Believe me, so am I! In other words, most of us are at or near the top of the applicant pool. If the average SAT at Penn is 2115, they have to accept more than just people with 2300+. (and you cant tell me that there are that many hooked appicants, I know there are a good number, but not everyone under a 2100 at penn is a hispanic or legacy) Really, a score of say, the nice round number 2100 arent all that below average. According to the common data set, for all of Penn, the 25-mean-75th percentiles are 2030-2115-2290. Of course, the average Wharton admit is probaly slightly higher. I have to imagine that after a certain point, the colleges stop caring so much about SATs and look for other factors that make a person a unique contribution to thie incoming class. </p>
<p>On the Wharton website they state : "We look for well-prepared students from a wide range of backgrounds, whose academic and personal histories show both promise and passion.
While there is no magic formula, we are looking for students who:
are leaders, movers and shakers, and will make an impact
have strong academic records
have taken the most rigorous curriculum offered by their school
will have taken Calculus during high school
are well rounded
have a genuine interest in business, Wharton, and Penn.</p>
<p>Your scores are great, dont worry, just make sure your personality shines through on the essays and extracurrics. You have to remember Penn is an ivy league school, almost all the apllicants have great SATs. You need to show that theres more to your life than a number you got for taking a test. In my case, I have a strong passion for music to make up for my “low scores”. Feel free to take a look or leave a chance <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/812675-p-third-power-last-chance-before-i-hit-submit.html?highlight=power[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/812675-p-third-power-last-chance-before-i-hit-submit.html?highlight=power</a></p>
<p>Hope this helped you :)</p>
<p>^ It’s in Penn’s best interest to get as many people to apply as possible. This involves stretching the truth and saying “no one gets rejected because of scores.” I’m sorry to say that very few(if any) unhooked applicants with <2100 scores are accepted to Wharton.</p>
