<p>I know math is really important at Wharton…but is that mostly for students in finance or those trying to get an i-bank job?</p>
<p>I am much more interested in a managerial position and or marketing. I also want to concentrate on Entrepreneurship. So…If I DO get into Penn, will I be having less math intensive workload, or is it all the same?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure everybody takes the same math core (2 calc, 2 stats)...so yes, you'll be taking the same as everybody else</p>
<p>Beyond the core, the management and marketing courses generally have a less mathematical focus than economics (which is especially math heavy) and finance because they are more "talk" oriented fields - there is no equation for managing people or selling soap. </p>
<p>The math thing seems to be overhyped on CC - yes you need to be able to learn math equivalent to up to about the AP BC calc level plus 1 more course beyond that but you don't have to be some kind math genius to make it thru (or into) Wharton. I think a big mistake a lot of applicants (especially for some reason Asian applicants) make is the opposite - they think that just because they have super high Math SAT/SATII scores that they are a sure thing for admit. Wharton is looking for the elusive "leadership quality" much more than they are looking for math nerds and has no problem rejecting ppl with 800s if they see no leadership potential in them.</p>
<p>Okay here's the deal with math and Wharton. You don't have to love it but you need to be able to tolerate it at a high level. </p>
<p>Everyone takes the same basic math classes like math 104, stat 101-102. But those who are good at math won't have as much of a problem with classes like fnce and acct. Marketing uses a lot of stat but it's not what it's all about. If you know already (like I did) that math is not your thing there are other concentrations out there that are more qualitative than quantitative.</p>
<p>thank you for that information, and yea I'll look for a qualitative major :D</p>
<p>Where can I find a list of the qualitative concentrations at Wharton?</p>
<p>Also--Wharton recommends the Math SAT II, but what if your score is subpar to the other students that apply to Wharton? Like 650ish? Would taking the ACT help me then, since they accept it in lieu of both the SAT & SAT IIs?</p>
<p>yes. (10 char)</p>
<p>u know in wharton 1st year u have to take 2 calculus courses (unless u have BC, then u skip both)</p>
<p>can you take Calculus 1 and calculus 3? (not calculus 2)</p>
<p>At most schools you would not be able to take Calc 3 without having done Calc 2, nor would you be able to do Calc 1 if you already have credit for Calc 2. So I don't know how the scenario would come up where you would take Calc 1 and Calc 3 during an academic year.</p>

<p>Hi WhartonAdviseor</p>
<p>what about canadian students whose schools don't offer Ap calculus BC?
should they self study and take the exam?
is it mandatory?
if they dont take the exam, how much does it hurt their chance?</p>
<p>also
what's an example of a math course beyong calculus BC as you mentioned above?</p>
<p>thank yoU!</p>
