<p>Do I need business ECs and activities for Wharton? The problem is that most of my stuff are science-oriented…Will this pose a problem for me?</p>
<p>Do you need business ECs: no.
Do you need leadership ECs: yes.
Do they care if the leadership ECs are science-oriented: no.
Will this be a problem: it'll only be a problem if you make it into one. They want passion, leadership, and potential.</p>
<p>passion, leadership, potential.....uh oh</p>
<p>i am sorry, i think this thread is a bunch of b.s. in my opinion, i got a friend who had all of that stuff, High SATs, high GPA, didn't get in, getting into Wharton is a crapshoot unless you have parents of influence (i.e. Ceo of Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft)</p>
<p>The thread's not asking for what'll guarantee acceptance, it's asking for the details that can make him/her a competitive candidate. And besides, any top ten college will be a lottery ticket unless your parents have their names stapled to the entrance of a building - Penn doesn't HAVE TO accept you because you have "all that stuff" - it's just that "all that stuff" will make you a competitive candidate when you try to tempt the admissions people into giving you a second look and take you in.</p>
<p>what type of leadership positions are we talking about???
could you please explain
do u mean something such as asb president????</p>
<p>Unless the 500 CEOs are really promiscuous, I doubt they could sustain sending just under 500 students to Wharton each year. :p</p>

O i think they are. Look at Trump, doesn't he have like 4 kids with 3 different women?</p>
<p>catch-22 thanks for the help. All I wanted to know was if I am at a disadvantage not to pursue ECs that have a business-related background</p>
