<p>Is there anyway to determine how many people typically apply to Wharton early decision in any given year. From what I have heard, overall about 5,500 people apply every year, but I was just wondering how many apply ED.</p>
<p>there’s no official statistic, so it’s purely speculation. usually the numbers that come up only make me feel ****tier</p>
<p>[Penn</a> Admissions: Incoming Class Profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/profile/]Penn”>http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/profile/)</p>
<p>No info for just Wharton.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know there isn’t info for just Wharton, which I find ridiculous, I think schools should release more comprehensive statistics, but I guess they love their mystery. But I was asking if anyone has tried to figure it out, or is it possible. For example, what percent of Penn applicants are Wharton applicants. What percent of Penn applicants are ED applicants. Assuming the ED percentage is the same for wharton, then one could get a rough estimate for ED wharton applicants right?</p>
<p>Ok, I did it myself, and here is what I have come up with. For the class of 2014, there were 26,939 total applicants, of that there were 3,851 ED applicants which is about 14%. Wharton from what I have heard accepts around 550 people a year, with a 10% acceptance rate. So that means around 5500 kids apply to Wharton in a given year. So if the 14% ED application rate is also true for Wharton, which this is the most fishy part of my calculations. Then about 790 kids apply to Wharton ED. </p>
<p>Continuing my probably ridiculous analysis, if Penn say accepts a third of the Wharton class ED, then that means in ED they accept 184 applicants (using 550 accepted students as a guide). So if my original calculation of 790 kids applying ED is right then the percent acceptance for Wharton ED is a whopping 23%. </p>
<p>So all of that probably was off but, does that seem like a reasonable number, I feel like it is way too high, but since Penn releases no numbers, who is to say.</p>
<p>I feel like 23% ED for Wharton is reasonable, seeing as how CAS ED is upwards of 33%, SEAS is around 32%, and Penn’s overall ED rate is like… 30%? (These numbers are off the top of my head/from memory, correct me if I’m wrong.)</p>
<p>Yeah in context it makes some sense, I am just under the impression that Wharton is ridiculously hard to get into. I mean if the acceptance rate is any where near there, it is a 1 in 5 “chance” of getting accepted, far better than the overall rate of 1 in 10.</p>
<p>Wharton’s ED acceptance is 6%. Confirmed by former MBA admissions head of Harvard.</p>
<p>^ Damn, now i feel bad for picking umich ross over wharton wth</p>
<p>If u liked umich more then that’s the school you should go to.</p>
<p>Post #8 is completely ridiculous. Wharton has an overall acceptance rate of over 10% and you are claiming that its ED rate is 6%?</p>
<p>yeah 6% is ridiculously low, maybe thats the figure for MBA acceptances at Wharton Graduate School or something.</p>
<p>Hey Mathematicism, don’t answer right away calling my post ridiculous. I’m only here to help. Why don’t you help make this cc forums atmosphere more convivial, instead of getting butt hurt right away. </p>
<p>All I’m saying is according to that woman that is the acceptance rate. She might have mixed it up with MBA admittance, but either way take a chill pill. Sorry Wikiman, I’ll confirm again to make sure it’s ED an not MBA.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/undergrad/admissions/faqs.cfm-->”>http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/undergrad/admissions/faqs.cfm--></a> The website itself states that Wharton avgs about 5,500 apps.</p>
<p>well I guess that adds some credence to my calculations. Even if the number of ED applicants is doubled and Penn admits a half of the class, it is still like an 20% rate.</p>
<p>You’re not helping if you’re giving false information, intentionally or not… Clearly 6% is incorrect. Why even post something so ridiculously wrong? And why would the MBA admissions head of Harvard know the undergrad acceptance rate of Wharton? Help us out and think about what you’re posting.</p>
<p>Are you listening to yourself, you speak as if I committed a crime. I was giving my bit of information. Take it or leave it but grow up and don’t throw a fit about it. Some of you cc’ers are ridiculous. Hopefully you change you’re attitudes in person and don’t talk like stuck up over achievers regularly.</p>
<p>Lets all just calm down, yes 6% is wrong, but I can see thats just an honest mistake. I am more interested on hearing opinions about the possibility that Wharton has a 20% ED acceptance rate, it still kind of stuns me. Anyone want to disprove my math and make me feel hopeless at my chances of being accepted? haha.</p>
<p>@TheWikiMan </p>
<p>No I cannot disprove your math.(neither do I want to) I have a friend that works at Penn’s admission office right now and the estimation of 20-25% is correct according to him.</p>
<p>Well then that is pretty awesome, I feel kind of a lot better now on my chance of admission if it is a situation where 4 people compete for 1 spot, as opposed to 10 people for 1 spot. December 15, cannot get here soon enough.</p>
