<p>@carbajalia did you apply ed for wharton as your backup? You should call the admissions office and find out if you were deferred for huntsman or wharton</p>
<p>I think it’d be better to apply for a language that you speak rather than one you don’t. You’re supposed to go into the program with an intermediate proficiency, so I would say that it’d be better to say Spanish. You also run the risk of having someone who actually speaks portuguese beat you out for the spot</p>
<p>Fellow prospective Huntsmanites / Huntsmen of the future:
If you have questions, need advice etc. regarding the Huntsman progam, just feel free to contact me: pennpug (AT) gmail (DOT) com</p>
<p>Huntsman with ED Wharton backup. I feel as though it doesn’t really matter which one I’m deferred from. It’s time to move on and see what happens in late March. Maybe we will be some of the accepted deferrals, but more than likely we won’t be. I guess I don’t really have my hopes too high for Wharton acceptance, but deferred definitely feels better than being rejected. I guess I’ll give them a call here in the next few days to find out whether it’s deferred at Wha or Hunts. I don’t get the idea that Huntsman defers many, if they even defer at all; you are either what they want or they just send you to Wharton/Seas/CAS because they’ve got tons of applicants for their limited number of spots.</p>
<p>Penn Pug, are you by any chance a Spanish speaker who applied as a Portugues target? I initially thought I would like to apply Portugues but then I got intimidated because I don’t have much experience with the language.</p>
<p>Hey, I just wanted to wish best of luck to those who have been deferred. You never know what can happen with things like this really. When I saw my acceptance letter I was: thrilled and at the same time a little shocked. But either way whether you get accepted or not, it doesn’t change the type of person/student you are. Just hold on tight to yourself.</p>
<p>I know what you mean. It’s hard not to let a college decision influence our opinions of personal self-worth, but in the end hopefully everything works out for all of us. I am taking some classes at a local college this year and, although my fellow students are not extraordinary, the classes themselves are quite good. I imagine that college courses across the country are pretty similar, for the most part. I suppose that one simply must make the best of whatever situation they are thrown into and be a leader and force for good. So, maybe we will return to these forums in a few months triumphantly reading acceptance emails from Penn, or other schools. We will still be the same people, the same highschoolers who have ambitions too grand and too righteous to let a simple ED decision crush our dreams. Good luck at Huntsman, BK, and thanks for the support.</p>
<p>When I got my deferral on Monday, I was really sad and down because I really liked Huntsman and thought that I had a shot. But then two days later, I got accepted into UChicago with a small scholarship, and I think I’m in a better position now than I would have been had I been accepted to Penn… in a way. Now I can apply to all the schools I could have given up for Penn ED, and still might get into Wharton/Huntsman regular!</p>
<p>Moral of the story? The universe works in mysterious ways. Things do work out in the end!</p>
<p>No, the Jerome Fisher M&T profile isn’t that similar to the Huntsman appx mix that I mentioned on page 1 of this thread. M&T is lower % female and lower % international — which both seem somewhat logical since (1) I’m guessing there are a higher % of male applicants to M&T since there’s a STEM (engineering) component to it, and (2) Huntsman has an Intl Studies degree component which would seemingly attract a higher % of intl student applicants. </p>
<p>As a comparison, here’s the official 2017 incoming class profile for M&T, which generally accepts 50-55 students/year. I can’t seem to locate one for Huntsman though:</p>
<p>M&T CLASS OF 2017 PROFILE:</p>
<p>56 students, of which 39% are female.
20% of the class is international, hailing from:
Taiwan
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom
India
Hong Kong
Mexico
Canada
China</p>
<p>Domestically, the Class of 2017 regional break down is:
25% Northeast / Mid-Atlantic
21% South
14% Midwest
20% West</p>
<p>10 students participated in the Management & Technology Summer Institute (M&TSI).</p>
<p>Hey, everybody! First, I want to say congratulations for everyone who got into Huntsman! I was wondering if you guys could help me. I am currently a junior, and am extremely interested in applying ED to Huntsman next year (with Wharton ED as back up). I think I have solid grades, EC’s, and all that good stuff. But, I was curious how you guys succeeded or at least tried to succeed in demonstrating to Huntsman how “international” you are? </p>
<p>I am asking this because I have created my own not for profit organization that helps the poor in my native country of Brazil. I won’t go into too many details, but would that constitute as sufficient in displaying myself as “international”? </p>
<p>Any feedback would help! I would love to be accepted to Huntsman! </p>
