<p>lots of places on the internet give comparrisons between penn on a whole and other top colleges but does anybody know how wharton compares to other ivies in terms of selectivity and other stats?
thanks</p>
<p>it's by far the best undergrad business available.</p>
<p>check u.s. news and world reports for rankings for undergrad business</p>
<p>I know people are probably bothered by this but I am wondering my chances at Wharton.
I was wondering if anyone accepted could tell my their stats or if they think i have a shot.</p>
<p>SAT: Math-760 Verbal-740
SAT2: US History-740 Writing and Math IIC i dont have results yet
GPA: 3.76 unweighted (my high school is ranked in top 30 by newsweek)
AP- I got 5's on US History and Computer Science A
I am currently taking AP Calc BC, AP Econ, AP English, AP Chemistry
I have 5 years of Spanish</p>
<p>My extracurriculars are
4 years of soccer, 1 sectional championship
2 years of indoor track, 1 sectional championship
1 year of wrestling,
3 years of outdoor track (one as a captain).
I am in National Honor Society
3 Years as Representative on Student Council
Interact Club
2 Years in Varsity Club (1 as VP, 1 as Pres.)
1 Year in Spanish Club
1 Year in Jazz Choir
4 Years in Musicals
2 Years in Select Chorus</p>
<p>I also play ultimate frisbee on a team
I also attended Boy's State
If anyone thinks I have a shot please let me know.</p>
<p>you defnitely have a shot. as you know, i'm sure, competition is tough and there are no guarantees but you meet the standards, certainly. it could depend on the sat2 math tho</p>
<p>it's actually the only Ivy undergrad business school.... I would stay Wharton is the most selective of the 4 undergraduate colleges here at Penn, but in my eyes that doesn't make it necessarily better. I think Wharton attracts a certain type of student that really might be hard to find at other ivies to a certain extent.</p>
<p>I've actually heard that between the college and wharton, the college has higher stats.</p>
<p>wharton > college of arts and crafts</p>
<p>stoned- that's wrong. wharton is harder to get into and has higher sat scores. my dad got some booklet because he's an alumni interviewer that said so.</p>
<p>If you got accepted to Wharton and Harvard, which would you choose?</p>
<p>Does SEAS or the college have better students?</p>
<p>personally, wharton. that's why i applied there early. you can't even study business undergrad at harvard.</p>
<p>I debated between applying early to Harvard or Penn (Wharton), and (obviously) decided on the latter.
It was a tough call. Harvard's student-run newspaper, which I inquired about at every college I looked at, is frankly much better than Penn's. I was allowed a private tour of the Crimson building as I was heavily recruited for being a low-income student (which I'm not!!! go figure). The facilities, the editors, the writers and their passion for the organization, all blew me away. That was the hardest thing to pass up. But I did!
I leaned toward Penn in the end because of my unwavering interest in business, and also my because of my preference for Philadelphia over Boston/Cambridge for the campus, the navigation potential, proximity to nyc and home. I found Harvard Yard on the other hand to be an absolute mess in terms of traffic, etc. For example, they don't even bother to label the major streets (seriously, what is the deal with that?!).<br>
Anyway, the point is, if you're choosing between Wharton and Harvard, you're gonna do well either way. There is no "wrong" selection there.</p>
<p>Momsdream works for an agency that recruits for wharton, and she said otherwise.</p>
<p>Regardless, I chose the college because I felt that out of any other school in penn and at any of the other schools (by school i mean component of a university) the College was the best school for me. I am not sure if I am interested in business at this point in my life (and if I am in a few years, I'll transfer or go back to grad school) and although I like maths and sciences I do not want to become an engineer. So, I knew I was going to apply to "the college" at whichever university I applied to. I had a pretty good shot at whichever university I applied to, so I wasn't worried about chances or anything like that. So, now my choices came down to the level of education I receive and how I feel the University will help me later in life. The College at Penn is meets and exceeds everything I was looking for (more than any other school), and thus, it was the most logical choice.</p>

<p>The Daily Pennsylvanian is an awesome publication, and I strongly suggest you investigate the opportunities available to you there.</p>
<p>And watch out for the freshman superlatives.</p>
<p>From Penn's website :
Application volume for Wharton single degree averages around 3,900. Each year we admit about 700 </p>
<p>Tha's a 17.9 % acceptance rate (overall for early and regular combined).</p>
<p>I couldn't find the college acceptance rate but I know the overall is 21%</p>
<p>for class of 2007, wharton's acceptance rate was 15.5%. College had 19.4% and SEAS had 28%. I am not too sure about nursing. hth</p>
<p>Wharton>>>>Harvard anyday</p>
<p>Oh the DP isn't bad by any means. It's quite good actually, although I do think the Harvard Crimson is better.
With a lot of hard work maybe I and others can help to reverse that (: </p>
<p>All I know right now is that the editorial board will be much less than 80% male in 2009!</p>
<p>acceptance rate doesn't mean better.</p>
<p>i think u-chicago has a 50% acceptance rate and it's better than, say, UC Berkeley (that has a lower acceptance rate).</p>
