Welcome New College Rep, WhartonAdvisor

<p>Please join me in welcoming our newest College Rep member to CC, WhartonAdvisor. Students hoping to attend Wharton will, I’m sure, find WhartonAdvisor to be a great resource.</p>

<p>Welcome!</p>

<p>Welcome
ˆˆ</p>

<p>thanks for showing up, but be prepared for an infinite number of "chances" threads. Anyway, it's a pleasure to welcome you on board, and we appreciate your willingness to spend time on collegeconfidential. Thanks!</p>

<p>Welcome Willkommen Benvenuto Bienvenue!</p>

<p>I know this is irrelevant, but I had to note that kevster1001 has 1,001 posts.</p>

<p>But welcome, WhartonAdvisor. Prepare for some very anxious users.</p>

<p>Wow I just want to say thanks for this opporunity. Hopefully we'll learn some valuable things :).</p>

<p>What's the percentage chance I'll respect anything you say...hmmm :P</p>

<p>I want to get into Wharton...</p>

<p>lol I applaud this college rep specifically...you are a brave, brave person.</p>

<p>I wish you were here a little earlier.</p>

<p>So is this Wharton Penn undergrad or Penn MBA?</p>

<p>Penn Undergrad, I'm guessing. ;)</p>

<p>I saw Amy Gutmann speak on Extremist Rhetoric. She seemed pretty cool.</p>

<p>I feel sorry for the person. Better get ready to be bombarded by people wanting to know how they stack up</p>

<p>9" guys. Good or bad? I wanna know how I stack up.</p>

<p>Take off those IVY Goggles.</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>I'm not even going to UPenn, but welcome... However, I don't see the point of having college reps here if they are answering questions about the program. It's good to have a general idea, but there's no point in knowing specific details when you haven't even gotten in yet...</p>

<p>And it can be a waste of time to know about the entire program because wharton IS HARD to get into</p>

<p>It's important to know if you're considering applying ED or knowing whether to apply at all. In addition, some folks stay on here after they're accepted and have questions.</p>

<p>WELCOME!</p>

<p>WhartonAdvisor - That is good that you are a recent graduate, meaning you are likely in your 20s. You'll need to have patience and a bit of nonchalance to deal with the immature posts that are likely to come your way.</p>
