UPenn ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

@nadiapersona Good luck with your application to Huntsman!! I really wanted to apply to Huntsman, but am not proficient in my target language (Portuguese). Additionally, they do not have any subject tests/APs in Portuguese, so I figured it would be best just to apply straight to Wharton. :slight_smile:

Hopefully you get in! I will pray!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Applying ED to CAS! Absolutely love Penn and the campus

@tmck2011 aw thank you! You’re so sweet! I hope I get to meet you on campus next fall! (fingers crossed right haha) Although I can’t help with the subject tests, listening to Portuguese music and jammin along realllyy helps [also getting Brazilian food and ordering in the language is a plus bc food and language experience]. But I’ll be praying for you too!

Hey guys, I’m an international from Australia applying ED to Huntsman and Wharton! These last few months are going to be intense- I haven’t started my essays yet lol

do all wharton kids have sat above 2350
I only got 2310 so I heard im the bottom 10%

@Klayyy I doubt that a 2310 would be in the bottom 10%, even for Wharton. There’s more to an applicant than SAT scores…

Best of luck! :slight_smile: @blu5959

@Klayyy no way. Penn’s average SAT score was a 2235 last year. Wharton’s average is probably only 50-75 points higher at most.

“do all wharton kids have sat above 2350”

Definitely not. Penn is more interested in grades and ECs than test scores anyway.

@Klayyy, Your SAT score is not the reason for Wharton tor turn down you. You need to focus on your essays now and keep good grade in your senior year.

Hi! I plan to ED to CAS. Just wondering, how many of you have started your application?

Hey all, I’m planning on applying to Wharton ED.

@visahan I have but I am not very far. I’ve only got basic information filled out.

on a side note, does whether or not my letters of rec are confidential matter?

Hugely so. Colleges won’t trust your recs unless you sign your FERPA waiver. It’s their best method of guaranteeing an honest evaluation.

@tmck2011 thanks!! Are you applying to Wharton too? :slight_smile:

@blu5959 yes, I am! :slight_smile: You will definitely have to let me know if you get into Huntsman!! It’s such an amazing program.

@tmck2011 haha yeah sure! I’m applying to Wharton as my “backup” lol so hopefully I’ll see you on campus next year :slight_smile:

@Aztreas, Sign waiver in viewing letters of rec is a big deal.

Okay, thank you all for the feedback!

does having my brother at huntsman help me at all for wharton or nah?

Yes, it will give you a hook–legacy. You need to apply ED to take advantage of it.
