<p>The math required for Wharton is nowhere near that required for the Engineering school. Most Wharton students stop taking math at 104, some take 114 or 115. Engineering students need to know and have facility with a lot more than that.</p>
<p>so ican't get in now? how about if i try to make usamo and related</p>
<p>You do seem like the typical Defferal/Rejection. don't get blue, though. you're obviously both very smart and very hard working - a winning combination at all stages in life. For business, also, check out MIT, Berkeley, and NYU. NYU is a big
wall street feeder school, not as good as Wharton/Harvard but good.</p>
<p>lol yeah i first wanted to go to MIT cuz it's an absolutely amazing place <3<3<3
but what can i do to improve</p>
<p>hmm why?? all my ECs are sciencey and mathy
i kinda sound like this guy..

but not enough to tell since that's basically no info</p>
<p>oh and i probably wont be applying ED anyways :/</p>
<p>you do have good leadership. you're a president/captain of most of your EC's, but don't get your hopes up. Wharton admissions are very shady, basically everyone is a hooked kid. the kids who don't seem to have hooks, their parents run the financial world and wharton sees a chance to get someone who will be on a list of Notable Alumni later down the road. in this sense, wharton is looking for future successes. in your essays, talk about a desire to go big time in your future, they will like that.</p>
<p>okay thanks! that helped a lot more than ppl who were like yeah ur gonna be rejected period</p>
<p>Who said that?</p>
<p>hmm...nobody :) nvmm</p>

Well you did ask for your chances...
But anyways, your main priority is to reach your projected GPA and not get sidetracked. Other that that, there isn't much to do. As others have already said, hooks are what differentiate the thousands of highly qualified applicants. If you don't get in, tough luck. You will get into a really good school anyhow, so just hope for the best :)</p>
<p>you might wanna consider doing something like taking the AP tests for macro and microeconomics...culd help ya look a bit more business-mathy rather than just pure math/science.</p>
<p>^hmm, that is a good idea. i will think about it and maybe borrow a book or something! thanks</p>
<p>It all depends on how you portray yourself. Admissions officers don't like to see a laundry list of "president of ____ club"; it implies a lack of genuine commitment.</p>
<p>Make sure to figure out which activities are most important to you. The application doesn't have room for all of that anyway.</p>
<p>Also, a large majority of Wharton students haven't taken economics in high school, so don't go out of your way to look more "business-mathy". Just take calculus during your senior year, focus on doing well in your math classes, and focus on contributing something significant through your leadership.</p>
<p>-Don't worry about being sciencey. I had a ton of science (and no business, literally zero, just leadership) when I applied and here I am. And math only helps because you need strong quantitative ability.</p>
<p>-If you're willing to consider pursuing science at all, look into the LSM</a> joint program</p>
<p>-Also don't worry about having too many activities. We have almost identical resumes, with different club names, haha.</p>
<p>-I'm not sure why everyone else seems to think they can predict your chances based solely on your numbers. If they're Penn students they know that everyone has strong numbers and lists but they separate the admits from the deferrals/rejections largely based on essays. Without essays (and SAT scores for that matter) and recommendations we don't know nearly enough about your application.</p>
<p>-There are no static requirements for acceptance. Applicants are reviewed in their respective context.</p>
<p>-PS what's with future doctors club? Are you planning on going to med school? If you are then I'd strongly recommend applying to LSM because it is a great way to express interest in science and also a long-term capacity for leadership and management. If you look at Wharton's career placement stats hardly any grads go to med school but several LSM students are premed (so far at least). I'm in it, so feel free to PM me if you have any questions about it.</p>
<p>like all chance threads, its basically impossible to predict. i can say you have good stats, but just dont be overconfident. a girl from my school got rejected with basically the same stats + more aps with a lot of impressive extracurrics. again, a big question for the adcom is why not science? penn is a lot about fit, and you need to show that you are a good match.</p>
<p>asian female from nj? we have so many already.
i think you'd get into MIT without any problems.</p>
<p>^lol i do love MIT love love love love<3</p>
<p>but Wharton is better for business, of course, and it'll probably be able to get me more experience and stuff
dunno</p>

wow that does look amazing! thank you
..but they only accept like 0 people</p>
<p>you're a girl? interested in engineering at all? check out M&T. we like girls.</p>
<p>M&T forgot to install chick magnets into its program apparently</p>
