<p>Lol I like how this thread has become about everyone but the op</p>

<p>what is an urm?</p>

<p>an under represented minority and no u dont need a sat retake the act if you can get higher n focus on ur EC's cause its gonna take some remarkable ones to get in. Wharton had 5 percent rd accept rate and 9 percent overall just to give u ur chances :D</p>

<p>yea, but if u want to go to wharton for sure, Early Decision!</p>

<p>I am truely a first generation college student, but I am also Caucasian. I have some good EC's so I think that will help a lot. By the way, what is rd?</p>

<p>When do they start taking early decision, and what are the ramifications of it?</p>

<p>rd- regular decision
early decision apps are due around nov. 1st I believe....ramifications: if you get in, you HAVE to go there ( unless you prove that you can not afford it), which brings me to my second point, that with ED you don't get the chance to weigh other options</p>
