<p>I applied for the Huntsman at Penn, and now that that is out of the way, I wanted to ask what SAT II Math IIC scores of applicants/acceptants were?</p>
<p>I’m really afraid that my IIC score is going to kill my application</p>
<p>my scores are:
800V 780M 800 Writing 800 German 750 US History and
690 IIC</p>
<p>I’m retaking the IIC in January, but I don’t want to get my hopes up unless there are others that have around a 700 on the IIC.</p>
<p>your fine. and they wont eliminate a candidate based solely on SAT scores. your smart enough to know this DisplacedNewYorker. quit worrying yourself sick.</p>
<p>i got in with a 790, but i know others who had lower scores (less than 700) than mine and got in</p>
<p>I had a 750 IIC, 760 spanish, and 790 writing, and 1560 regular (780x2) and I got in</p>
<p>Could you care to explain what is the difference between a finacace major at H or Yale versus a huntsman or wharton degree at UPenn. MY son admitted early to Yale and has a very good response from Harvard. But he wants to go to Huntsman, provided he gets enough financial aid? Is it trure that Wharton offers more courses like real state planning etc. which are not normally covered by economics departments. In addition, for Huntsman program is language selection is the sole critrion. He comes from a top elite prep school. He has some high state or even national level awards in humanities and math and scince. However, his target language is Spansih and he will be just taking AP spanish. Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>I am just taking AP Spanish this year, (started in 6th grade) and I'm white not hispanic or any minority really, and I got in.</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>

<p>Chinaman-
I think I can answer a lot of your questions (I knew that one day, the hours I've spent on the Penn website would pay off). All Wharton students graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. The difference between graduates is their concentration. While all students take general education courses such as Micro- and Macroeconomics and business fundamental courses such as Intro to Accounting, Marketing, and Statistics, each student decides on one of over 20 concentrations which include Finance, Management, Entrepreneurship, an Individualized major, and, yes, Real Estate. Students fufill requirements for their concentrations by taking four advanced level courses in that discipline. Students often pursue dual concentrations. The Wharton undergraduate website, I think, does a great job of explaining course requirements and also explains each of the concentrations. You/Your son may also find that the Cirriculum Worksheet is helpful as well. <a href="http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/</a>
The Huntsman Program, which you may or may not know, is a joint-degree program. Students graduate with a BS in Economics and a BA in International Studies. Huntsman students are required to fufill the basic requirements for Wharton like all students (this includes the general education requirements and business fundamental requirements) and they choose a business concentration as well. Huntsman students also, though, must fufill the basic requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences (which include, but are not limited to, classes in the areas of History, Science, Society, and the Physical World) and the requirements for the International Studies major (which include, but are not limited to, Advanced Language courses, courses in Area Studies, International Business Courses, and a Senior Research Project). The reason students are able to fufill all of these requirements is because a lot of courses fufill more than one requirement. For example, the Micro and Macro classes that students take to fufill the Wharton general requirements also fufill the Society requirement of the college.
The target language is an important part of the Huntsman Program but students are not expected to have extraordinary skills. Like Faux, many, if not most, students come to the Huntsman Program with only an AP knowledge of a language. The Huntsman website outlines the required courses and tells a little bit more about the Program. <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/huntsman/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.upenn.edu/huntsman/index.html</a>
I hope this answers your questions, Chinaman, and sparks your and your son's curiosity and interest in Penn, Wharton, and/or Huntsman even more. Feel free to PM or IM me if you have any other questions. I'd be glad to see if I could answer them.</p>
<p>Dreadhead thanks a lot for your helpful information. My son wanted to apply early but for financial aid reasons, he could not do so. Last year, he told me that if decent finanicail aid comes through, UPenn will be his first choice. Thanks for your help. Let us see if he get an admission in school. Thanks and have a happy new year :)</p>
