Any other finance colleges i should look into beside Wharton, and Stern?

You do realize that Penn wants recs from core teachers, right?

3

those are core classes. They said they prefer recs from teachers that teach material relevant to major. But how do you think i will fair?

4

Read the first paragraph: http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/apply/whatpennlooksfor/teacher-evaluations

5

^ He’ll be fine. Economics is considered a Social Science, and Physics is under the discipline of the Natural Sciences, both of which Penn considers “major academic subjects”.

6

Wharton and Stern are definitely two of the best schools for finance recruiting. But there are others that seem to be very good also like Ross, McIntire, Haas.

@pokemon1 I talked to my admission rep today and she said that an economics teacher does not count as a core subject and would rather see core subjects.

8

Oh thanks @dilan412 . didnt know that

9

Cast a wide net, ranked 23rd in your class Wharton is a lottery for you.

10

oh ok. How do you think i wil fare if I ED to Duke economics

You have a great shot at Michigan, Indiana, Penn State. Top 25 schools are tough. Duke you have a better shot than Penn.
