<p>I've heard that Wharton expects applicants to have an especially strong background in math.</p>
<p>My Math scores-
SAT I math: 770 (1 wrong)
SAT II math II: 760
I've always taken the honors level math courses, and I'm taking BC calc now. What concerns me is that my math grades the past two years (in pre-calc and now in BC) are in the low 90 score range. Will this hurt my chances? Or are my scores okay...</p>
<p>You’re fine.</p>
<p>Your grades are fine, and while your SATs don’t absolutely eliminate you, know that 800 is sorta “recommended”</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the majority of people don’t have 800 Euroazn…</p>
<p>yeah, that is a pretty outlandish statement, this might be bold, but i don’t think in the history of Wharton admissions, a kid has been rejected cause of a 760 on a Math SAT II, with all other stuff being good. But hey maybe they have different piles for those 800s in math II.</p>
<p>I don’t know, from most of the acceptances I’ve seen, most people have at least 1 800; it’s a matter of percentage. For the Sat II, for example, if you have sub-800, you aren’t even in the top 10% of test takers.</p>
<p>That being said, you don’t have to panic. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/726616-myth-you-need-800-math-2-wharton.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/726616-myth-you-need-800-math-2-wharton.html</a></p>
<p>The thing is, SATs are objective while other things are subjective (even GPA, because all schools are different), so Adcom DOES use it, even if it doesn’t like to.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses guys.</p>
<p>Just to be clear about SAT I. Of the two times I took it, there were rough curves. I only got one wrong each time, and the scores were 770 and 760 respectively (I can’t believe I lost 40 points for one question!) As far as the Math II goes, I wanted to retake to try to get an 800 but I had so much going on this year I couldn’t. My biggest worry was that I take the hardest math classes at my school, but I have got an A minuses in the past two years. However, I’m understanding the material in Calc BC fairly well; does Wharton go far beyond this level of math?</p>
<p>To answer the last question, no.</p>
<p>Do you need IB Math HL if your school offers it? I’m considering taking the class but not the test for my diploma.</p>
<p>I am a senior in the IB program. Math is my strongest subject, but I idiotically chose AP stat instead of advancing to IB Higher Level math (i got a 7 on the ib Standard Level exam). Is this putting me at a major disadvantage for admission even if i got a 800 on the Math II subject test and a 36 on my my ACT math?</p>
<p>Don’t worry about those scores</p>
