<p>Does anyone know the acceptance % for the class of 2012? thanks! .. oh and how many were accepted in of how many applied..</p>
<p>You'll probably never hear the figures for -just- Wharton unless the DP does some real investigation.</p>
<p>at previews the dean said it was just over 10% accepted for wharton and the program has no more than 480 people i believe</p>
<p>Around 10% is what it was generally believed to have been last year, so that makes sense.</p>
<p>yea, they usually leak this out during previews... 10% accepted... that means ~4800 applied.</p>
<p>so they only accepted 480? whats their target class size for wharton?</p>
<p>They'd have to accept a bit more than that to get a class of 480. Wharton has a very high yield (in no small part because unlike Penn's other schools, it has no competition--there is no other undergraduate b-school on the level of Wharton). It's probably at least 80%, but they had to accept more than 480 to get a class of 480.</p>
<p>true.. not much more though. i'm surprised only 5000ish apply to wharton. i thought all the kids who apply to ivys generally apply to wharton</p>
<p>^ That sorta ignores the 15,000 or so who apply to the College of Arts and Sciences (not to mention the couple thousand or so who apply to SEAS and the 500 or so who apply to the Nursing School) and not Wharton, who therefore are applying to at least one Ivy (Penn) and generally apply to several others.</p>
<p>the program has around 480 people, they accept more because the yield isn't 100%. I think that I heard wharton's yield was in the 80-85% range, so they do accept a few more people.</p>
<p>@bay area: people apply to liberals arts programs won't apply to wharton. i dont think that someone applying to poly sci at HYP would apply to wharton. the overlap i can see would be people applying to wharton, MIT, p'ton enginering - stuff like that</p>
<p>dlesk, Wharton does have applicant overlap with liberal arts applicants (at schools other than Penn, of course) planning to major in something like economics or intending to go into business.</p>
<p>There are lots of threads here started by applicants chosing between Wharton and an economics major at a liberal arts school.</p>
<p>The correct answer, of course, is economics major at Penn's liberal arts school! ;)</p>
<p>^ which would still allow you to take lots of courses at Wharton! :)</p>
<p>^ And SEAS, Nursing, Law, Communications, Design, Social Work, etc for that matter! :P</p>
<p>^ Dude, "Social Work" is now "School of Social Policy and Practice."</p>
<p>Try to keep up, OK? :p</p>
