Wharton external transfer: are these 2nd semester courses rigorous enough?

<p>Differential Equations
Linear Algebra
Computer Science
Macroeconomics, Intro to
Statistics II</p>

<p>Here's mine</p>

<p>ENVS375S Enviromental Seminar 2credit
ECON112 Macroeconomics 4
ENG181 Writing about literature4
BUS210 Managerial Accounting 4
ECON431 Public Choice 4
ASIA368 Special Topic-Asian Studies 4
PE156 Scuba Diving 1</p>

<p>Please leave your comment.
PS. Would I be better off taking multi-calc instead of managerial accounting as Wharton focuses on quantitative ability? I'm pretty sure I can score A on both of them.</p>

<p>I'm taking:
ECON 309 - Intermediate Micro Theory (Math-Based)
ECON/BAFI 341 - Money and Banking
POSC 367 - Western European Political Systems
POSC 370G - US Intelligence and National Security
SPAN 102 - Elementary Spanish 2
and a Writing Seminar I have to take at my university...which sucks.</p>

<p>Four 300s and six classes overall. That's tough right?</p>

<p>I have pretty much all the other pre-reqs done like managerial and financial accounting, intro to economics...et cetera.</p>

<p>Assuming that you're all freshmen, your schedules look good. Freshmen at Wharton typically fulfill the following requirements:</p>

<ul>
<li>Calc I (equivalent of BC Calculus)</li>
<li>Micro/macro economics</li>
<li>Intermediate microeconomics </li>
<li>Writing seminar</li>
<li>Language requirement</li>
<li>Some other liberal artsy requirements</li>
</ul>

<p>Some opt to take less quant-heavy business courses, such as Legal Studies and Marketing.</p>

<p>Joshua: Managerial Accounting is part of the Wharton core (usually taken during sophomore year), whereas multivar isn't required--unless you want to pursue a concentration in Statistics or Actuarial Science. You may or may not get credit for Managerial Accounting, depending on how it compares to Wharton courses, but it sounds like you'd be able to waive ACCT 102 after taking that course.</p>

<p>No, I'm a sophomore...</p>

<p>Wharton11, I'd say replace the LA class with a social science/humanities class, and the CS class with another business or Calculus class, maybe psychology and accounting for example</p>

<p>regardless of the strength of your schedule, a huge factor in external transfer admission to wharton seems to be what school you're coming from.</p>

<p>NYU - Stern has the most transfers every year.</p>

<p>I think it depends. They evaluate if you would have been admitted as a freshman, and then see if you would be able to handle the courseload of Wharton (considering you are joining later on in the game). Having a rigorous courseload is basically the best you can do in this case. Keep in mind that very few people get in externally... I think last year there were only 25 or so. Most of them were 3.8/3.9+ GPA students with hard courseloads.</p>

<p>how about coming from Emory with a 4.0? It has a decent business school.I took one 200level class, one 300level class and two 100level classes in my first semester. Furthermore, should i mention my ranking in the classes i took? cuz i basically ranked top 5 out of 180 students in all the classes i took...</p>

<p>Can't go wrong with that.</p>

<p>Academically you seem to be just fine -- just make sure you understand precisely why it is you want to transfer, and make unique essays</p>
