University of Pennsylvania Admission Officers' Corner

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>As we all know by now, this forum has been blessed by the regular participation of an official representative of the University of Pennsylvania. As a little token of CC’s appreciation, I thought WhartonAdvisor and his fellow officers should have a dedicated space for the purpose of posting important messages or simply expressing their thoughts on relevant issues.</p>

<p>To our posters, please do NOT use this thread to post questions or comments. This thread will be stickied for easy access, but is also meant to remain as uncluttered as possible. Here’s one of the threads you can use for [url=&lt;a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=212631]questions:[/url”&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=212631]questions:[/url</a>]</p>

<p>College Confidential hopes that WhartonAdvisor and admission officers from the University of Pennsylvania will find this little “corner” helpful.</p>

<p>Thank you for the welcome! </p>

<p>I just want to clarify that I am NOT an admissions officer and will NOT comment on anyone's "chances" for admission, so please do not direct those questions to me. If you have questions about admissions, you should discuss them with your Regional Director of Admissions.</p>

<p>I am however, an ACADEMIC ADVISOR and I'm happy to answer questions about the Wharton undergraduate program, curriculum, dual degrees, etc. I know a lot of people have misconceptions about things like "the curve" (there is no mandated Wharton curve, by the way) and how flexible the curriculum is, and I am hoping to clear some of those issues up. </p>

<p>I also graduated from Wharton in 2002, so I have a lot of experience with the school from a number of perspectives.</p>

<p>So glad to have your input! Do you know if it is possible for ROTC scholarship recipients to pursue a degree through the Wharton school?</p>

<p>Oops sorry! I thought I had switched over to the other thread. Next time I will be absolutely perfect. You did hurt my feelings, tho. There has to be a nicer way to make your point.</p>

<p>Well in that situation I had to be blunt. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. I did not realize that you by accidently posted it here.</p>

<p>In the Penn app. there is a question of what professor you'd like to study or work with. Through my research and talking to various Wharton grad. I have found a couple of professors that are either excellent teacher or do very interesting work. But I was also disappointed to find out from the Wharton site that they no longer teach at the undergraduate level.
Here are my questions:1. Do professors sometimes switch back to teach at the undergraduate level after they switched to the MBA level? 2. Is it appropriate if I use their names in the application since they are not teaching at the undergraduate level anymore? 3. Can an undergraduate substitute with the MBA level class if it covers the same topic such as negotiation?
I would appreciate if you can answer my questions asap since I am doing ED.
BTW, how does Wharton look at SAT II scores? Are they as important as the SAT I and GPA?</p>
