<p>do admissions officers pay more attention to high school math grades and math SAT scores? The only Bs i received in high school were two Bs in trig/precalc honors, but i have a 760 on my SAT I math and a 35 on my ACT math…</p>
<p>Yes, they do...you're going to have to take the SAT II Math Level 2, you know...and lots of applicants will have already taken calculus.</p>
<p>I'm not saying that will necessarily hurt your chances, but you will be behind a lot of applicants in that sense.</p>
<p>you'll be fine if you take some equivalent of AB calc</p>
<p>Yes, Calculus is very important for Wharton! To be competitive, you will need to have taken some form of Calculus in high school (AB, BC, IB, Honors, etc). </p>
<p>Another issue that students run into is that if they took AB as a junior and then have the option of doing BC or STAT as a senior, they pick STAT. We actually would prefer that you took more Calc as we see that as a more rigorous class and Wharton is very quantitative. </p>
<p>If you have specific concerns about math courses or testing, contact your Regional Director of Admissions.</p>
<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I attend a magnet sci/math HS. I took precalc as a freshmen, received an A. I took Calc BC as a SOPHmore... received a B+. i'm a little concerned because I was one of around 7 kids selected to take this SUPER Accelerated math curriculum and I ended up receiving a B+ in that class, which happens to be my only non-A class on my HS transcript, but I received a 5 on my AP Calc BC exam. This year, I took Multivariable Calculus and received an A. IN this context, do you think it's neccessary to point out my status as being super-accelerated and that 6/7 kids that were with me also received B+'s? I don't want it to look like Calc is my weakest subject when it's my strongest...thanks!</p>
<p>p.s: also scored 800 on 2C's, and 790 on SAT I math (dumb error, decided not to retake the test just because of that 10 points)</p>
<p>You know, a B+ is not that bad of a grade. It certainly does not merit an explanation especially in the context of your other math work.</p>
<p>Tru - as I have stated previously, I am not an admissions officer so you will need to direct your question to your Regional Director of Admissions.</p>
<p>Which classes at Wharton are extremely quantitative? Other than the statistics and actuarial concentrations, which don't seem to be very popular, which finance/management/all other concentrations classes require a lot of quantitative work?</p>
<p>thank you whartonadvisor and everyone else with your responses</p>
<p>maybe opim?</p>
<p>opim? what is that?</p>
<p>Certain finance classes can be quite quantitative (for example, derivatives comes to mind).</p>
<p>OPIM is Operations and Info Management. Think programming OR decision making. Some of those classes can also be quite quantitative.</p>
<p>o ok that's true</p>
