<p>If you get a five in both AP Macro AND Micro, you get a waiver for Econ 010 (i.e. becomes free elective, no credit for AP, but can take any class in place of Econ 010).</p>
<p>so what exactly IS econ 010? it's not in the Course Register for 2006-2007....</p>
<p>foto - Transferring to Wharton from another university is extremely competitive. We look for the same things we look for in freshman applications, only now we also expect that you have done well in college, taken our prerequisite coures, and have college EC's and leadership. There's no magic GPA as everything varies by school. We tend to get most of our transfers from NYU Stern and Michigan, plus a number of other business schools and liberal arts schools. I'd recommend contacting the Transfer Admissions Office.</p>
<p>agent - I'm not sure about this, but my guess would be as soon as possible. You should contact the admissions office to verify.</p>
<p>chaotic - Jose is correct. If you get 5s on both tests you get waived out of ECON 010. If you get a 5 on Micro you get waived from ECON 001 and either just take ECON 002 or ECON 010. If you get a 5 on Macro you get waived from ECON 002 and either just take ECON 001 or ECON 010.</p>
<p>abhim - ECON 010 is "Economics for Business." It is a combined Micro/Macro course only open to Wharton students. It is part of the new Wharton economics curriculum that is required for the Class of 2010 and beyond. Wharton freshmen take this in the fall semester, then take BPUB 250 "Managerial Economics" (intermediate micro) in the spring.</p>
<p>Hi WhartonAdvisor,</p>
<p>I applied RD to the Huntsman program and I'm taking my SAT II language test in January. On the standardized test section of the Penn application, I couldn't indicate any future tests beyond 2006, so do you think that I should email them to tell them that I'm taking the required language test this month?</p>
<p>hi whartonadvisor, </p>
<p>for resumes or sheets that we send to penn, do we limit them to one page? also, how late do you guys accept supplementary materials? (i.e. videos, recs)</p>
<p>whartonadvisor: i plan on focusing on actuarial sciences if i'm accepted to wharton. could you give me some insight on the relative strength of the actuarial sciences concentration at penn, and how classes are conducted (lots of group work and presentations?) thanks!</p>
<p>pearfire and reality - As I have stated before, I am not an admissions officer so you should direct specific application questions to the admissions office. You can call them at 215-898-7507.</p>
<p>belle - Actuarial Science is a very small concentration within Wharton, and is offered through our Insurance and Risk Management Department. I recommend that you consult their website for more information about the actual concentration <a href="http://irm.wharton.upenn.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://irm.wharton.upenn.edu/</a>. Also, to find out about how courses are conducted I recommend that you look at various syllabi online at <a href="http://spike.wharton.upenn.edu/course_materials/index.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://spike.wharton.upenn.edu/course_materials/index.cfm</a>.</p>
<p>Dear Whartonadvisor:</p>
<p>If I am going to Michigan and I want to apply as a transfer to Wharton after my freshman year, then what courses will I need to take?</p>
<p>For michigan business school I need to take this:</p>
<p>-Calculus (Math 115)
-the Sweetland Writing Center freshman writing requirement
-Economics 101</p>
<p>Wharton has these requirements:
-Two semesters of integral calculus, or its equivalent (MATH 103, MATH 104)
-One semester of introductory microeconomics (ECON 001)
-One semester of introductory macroeconomics (ECON 002) OR one semester of a combined introductory micro and macroeconomics course (ECON 010) </p>
<p>What classes at Michigan should I take to fufill both requirements at Wharton and Michigan?</p>
<p>college - I have no idea what classes you will need to take at Michigan to fill these requirements. You need to look through their course register and take classes that mirror ECON 001 and ECON 002 (or ECON 010 if they have a combined micro macro course), and MATH 104. You can find course descriptions and syllabi for our versions of these courses online or through the departments.</p>
<p>Hi WhartonAdvisor,</p>
<p>I've heard that the Wharton undergrad degree is the same as an MBA, but once you get into upper management, you have to get an MBA anyway. I was wondering--if I'm not much of a math person (more into management/marketing), but interested in the humanities, and planning to get an MBA anyway. Would it be better to try for CAS and then get an MBA afterwards, as opposed to trying for Wharton?</p>
<p>WhartonAdvisor:
How much emphasis does UPenn place on alumni interviews? Can a 'bad' interview prevent an applicant with otherwise decent stats from getting accepted?</p>
<p>WhartonAdvisor,
Can I still send in supplemental material? I did not know the importance of these materials until some friends and teachers told me. I have some material that will tremendously help my application. Please advise me.</p>
<p>Wharton Advisor,</p>
<p>Which is the most important when applying? Grades, SATs, EC's, etc? Please don't say that its a combination of all, there must be one thing that is considered the most. Thanks.</p>
<p>the chase - we never claim that an undergrad degree from Wharton is equal to an MBA. While the faculty and courses are often exactly the same, an MBA signals that not only do you have an academic foundation in business, but also that you likely have 4-6 years of work experience. So the BS and MBA are not considered equal.</p>
<p>That being said, only 35% of our alumni (0 to 15 years out) ever go back for an MBA anywhere. So down the road our graduates realize that they do not need an MBA in order to advance their careers. In most cases they end up with the same or higher salary than people who went back for an MBA. </p>
<p>If you wanted to do 100% liberal arts as an undergrad then you are essentially guaranteeing that you will have to go back for an MBA. If you go to Wharton as an undergrad, the MBA is an option not a necessity.</p>
<p>You should really think about what you want to study for 4 years. Don't focus on "I want an MBA" because it's early to make that kind of prediction and unlike law or medicine, an MBA isn't required in order to practice. If you aren't interested in the learning the foundations of business (finance, accounting, operations) and getting in-depth courses in business, then maybe doing something like communications (or another liberal arts discipline) would be a better route for you.</p>
<p>Think carefully about the curriculums. Wharton isn't for everyone. If our curriculum doesn't excite you, I'd recommend going the liberal arts route, working for a few years, then thinking about graduate school.</p>
<p>lemon, college, and sak - please contact the admissions office with your questions. As I've stated before, I am not an admissions officer.</p>
<p>WhartonAdvisor,</p>
<p>For my junior schedule next year, do you think i should take Accounting1 and also Accounting 2 my senior yr? I remember someone here saying Penn like to teach its students themselves, rather than the high schools teaching them.</p>
<p>Another thing, i want to drop this program at my school called the "Academy of Finance" because i thought the level which it was taught at was sort of low. In addition, it wouldn't allow me to take AP English next year because it has its own requirement that we have to take a course called "academy english". Do you think i should really drop it?
Also, my schedule next year would be PACKED if i don't drop it and i wouldn't be able to take 2 of the 3 science classes i'm recommended to (ap bio, ap chem, and honors phys).</p>
<p>WhartonAdvisor,</p>
<p>In another thread you said that deferred applicants "are all thrown together in ONE pool and looked at at the SAME time" as Regular applicants. </p>
<p>I got deferred last december and my school just gave me today (Feb. 6) the mid-year report in which I included a deferral letter. Since I'm an international student it'll take around 5 to 7 days to arrive. What happens if my application has already been reviewed? What about SAT scores from january that don't come out until Feb 15?</p>
<p>WhartonAdvisor:</p>
<p>I hope you can answer this question. Do you think I coule get accepted with just a couple of high B's in honors classes on my report card, sophomore year? Or is it almost necessary to have straight A's?</p>
<p>Welcome :-)</p>
<p>WhartonAdviser: When you said that Wharton needs calculus (not precalc), if one takes calculus senior year, does this fit the requirement?</p>
