How does Wharton look at SAT II scores

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I was wondering whether Wharton takes the highest 2 SAT II scores. I am curious because I took the math 1 and math 2 subject tests and I think I did really well on the 1, but messed up the level 2. I have another subject test with a descent score. Do you think a bad math level 2 will hurt me for Wharton? (Assuming my sat reasoning test math is a 770 and I get a >750 on the level 1)</p>

<p>Im not sure if any colleges really accept the level 1 anymore.</p>

<p>well they still accept it, and won't penalize a student for taking IC, esp if he/she is clearly a humanities-focused student.</p>

<p>but im not sure if a math person only took 1c, that would be bad</p>

<p>Wharton is all about math and language in admissions. Along with being strong in leadership and business related stuff, you need language all 4 years of highschool and to be really good at math (ie BC Calc). I would say Wharton, if they do not require, recomends the MathIIC for the SATII. A bad MathIIC score will hurt you for Wharton. In my expereince at school, not on CC, lots and lots of people get 800s on the MathIIC and I would assume a lot of Wharton admits have 800s on the IIC. The only person I know who did not get an 800 on the IIC took regular Precalc and did not learn everything. He still broke 700 and retook it for the perfect. The MathIIC test is curved a lot. You can get 5 wrong (or skipped I am not 100% sure) and end up with an 800. Once you start to get more wrong, your score starts to drop a little faster. People say a 700+ on the MathIIC is good enough, but for Wharton and top engineering programs where math is stressed, I would say you should have 800 or the rest of your app will have to make up for it, like a good score on the AIME.</p>

<p>Does a 5 on the AIME make up for a 780 on the MathIIC venkater?</p>

<p>Don't be ridiculous... it's amazing the kind of stuff that the kids on this board can just make up and considered facts</p>

<p>lol i was just thinking that. stop pulling ridiculous stuff out of ur butts, ppl.
take our opinions sometimes, but remember that they are only our own narrow interpretations. do some more research/call or email and ask for urself.</p>
