<p>dostoyevsky: the lady in charge of huntsman flat out told me that their average sat was 1530 and that you need a 1450 to be considered. she said that they dont base their choice on sats, but if there are two similar applicants that will definitely tip the scale.</p>
<p>where else are you applying alita? why aren't you applying early?</p>
<p>oh yea and why are you retaking all those tests? you did really well on all of them i think that if you took them again, you would risk looking like you're obsessed about test scores... just my opinion</p>
<p>i see alita....i know that they have a very high test average (when dred and i stayed there overnight, every other kid we saw had a 1580+), but there were some people there that had 3.6 GPAs in high school, so i dont think stats are mostly what gets you in (they just get one foot through the door, personal stuff has a huge weight).....but yea alita, u have an excellent chance!.....dred, why havent you put your info up here?</p>

Finance and Global Analysis at the minimum</p>
<p>I'm retaking because when i visited yesterday the director of the program who also does admissions for it told me to retake the math parts. she said they wanted 750+. So, i had to late register to retake the sat's even tho i dont want to. This will be my 3rd time w/ sats, second w/ math 2c. But i would be even dumber to ignore what the person in charge of admissions told me.</p>
<p>im applying rd for financial aid reasons and because i have 3-4 top schools and didnt want to box myself in to ED. So i applied ea to one school and the other three rd.</p>
<p>alita....who was it that you talked to? Ginger or Inge?</p>
<p>dostoyevsky... im morally opposed to posting stats. nothing against everyone else who does, i just don't like the idea of putting my "not-so-stellar" scores up for others to compare themselves to me. my scores won't get me into the Program. like you've been saying, scores are only a foot in the door.</p>
<p>Inge-who is ginger?</p>
<p>inge only just became director last year. ginger used to be the director of the program.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you and please feel free to rate my chances at Wharton and/or Huntsman.</p>
<p>Also do you guys know when they're going to release the decisions?</p>
<p>I think it's the same as for Wharton - December 10th. ALso, does anyone know if you can get into Wharton and get defferred to Huntsman (and then you could get in in the Spring)? One more thing: anyone else really enrvous about the oral test?</p>
<p>king-- i'm not sure about your first question. i highly doubt it though. i think you are either accepted or denied from Huntsman. about the test... you really shouldn't worry about it at all. from what i hear, it's more of a placement test than it is an evaluative one. if you get the test, you're pretty much already in... at least that's what the current Huntsman freshmen told me.</p>
<p>in that case, has anyone gotten the test yet?</p>
<p>kingb123, one of my friends tells me that the test will be administered the first week of December.</p>
<p>yea. about two or three weeks before the decision</p>
<p>ok. also, i haven't got my online login yet. has everyone else?</p>
<p>nope....i havent received mine</p>
<p>i got mine about a week and half ago.</p>
