<p>How many students are in Wharton per grade????</p>

<p>Out of that many students, how many is picked from the ED??</p>

<p>Best wishes to everyone!!</p>

2

<p>approximately 475 per year</p>

3

<p>Is that 475 ED or 475 total? Because I think 475 total is unrealistic value.</p>

4

<p>roughly 500 total per graduating class</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why is that?</p>

6

<p>475 students are picked in ED???</p>

7

<p>Because don’t around 20,000 people apply? And if their admit rate is around 12%, 475 is not even close to these values. But I could easily be wrong.</p>

<p>20000 people apply to penn not wharton. approximately 4000-5000 apply wharton (assuming 20-25% applying to wharton). Plus wharton has a relatively lower admit rate im sure (8-10%) so thats why its about 500 per class. </p>

<p>Putting this into context of ED,
Overall 3500 people apply out of which approximately 800-900 apply for wharton (Assuming similar percentage of wharton applicants). Furthermore, approx 40% of the batch is chosen ED, so overall 200 students will be chosen ED for wharton out of the 800-900 applicants. Though, here the chances look high (20-23%) remember that the other applicants too are extremely qualified.</p>

<p>I maybe mistaken about the numbers but this is what i believe.</p>

<p>^^Ahh that makes sense now (numerically). I think my proportions were way out of context, I pictured around 20,000 applying to Wharton and thus skewed my views. Thanks for clearing that up.</p>

<p>sorry i’m a newbie… but whats an ED?</p>

11

<p>ED = Early Decision, when you apply early and have a higher chance of getting in, but in exchange you commit to going to that school if accepted.</p>

<p>What exactly is Wharton?</p>

13

<p>Wharton is the finest business school in America and the world, ranking above Harvard Business School and the likes. Produces CEOs and executives of Fortune 500 companies.</p>

<p>My guess is more apply than 4000-5000, because what you are forgetting is not all admitted actually accept.</p>

<p>I’d say with 22,000 applying (Class of 2013), 35% or 7700 are to Wharton (because it is Wharton, you know), of which 10% get in (770).</p>

<p>Of the 770, they expect 450 or 60% to accept. </p>

<p>Because of transfers and double-majors, the graduating class four years later balloons to over 600.</p>

<p>Wharton’s yield is around 80%, and very few transfers are accepted. A student applying for a dual degree (remember: you cannot “double major” across schools at Penn, you must fulfill the requirements for two separate degrees) after matriculation must also be accepted as a transfer, which, for wharton, would require around a 3.8 I think. Whether the whole process is fair is another story…</p>
