WHARTON prince of business :/

<p>I know Wharton looks at the whole app and everything but how low can your GPA go until you aren't even considered? 3.75? 3.8?</p>

<p>And in what range should your GPA be? like i hear 3.8+ and others tell me 3.95+
I'm trying to get as close to 4.0 (obviously) but I'm just wondering how many times you can actually screw up and still have a good chance of being accepted.</p>

<p>I saw this thread, and as soon as I saw WHARTON prince…I automatically thought - WHARTON prince of bel-air. EPIC! But then, nope. Just wanted to say, thanks for ruining my moment of ecstasy.</p>

<p>HAHAHAHAA go thatt</p>

<p>kinda felt that way when I read NSOver formal. I was like “Formal! YES!!!” and then I saw it was a rave party and sat back in my seat, calmly clicking delete on that email.</p>

<p>As for the OP, depends on your connections, rec’s, etc. They’ll take a 2.0 if your dad owns a country or two…</p>

<p>yeaa…like good everythign else…no legacy or connectionss :/</p>

<p>Rather than your gpa, they care more about how well you can handle a rigorous curriculum. If somehow you ended up enrolling for like math 55 at Harvard and pulled a C, I think that would be bonus points :P</p>

<p>but with the most rigorous curriculum…what GPA range?</p>

<p>I think this really depends on the strength and rigor of your particular school.</p>

<p>But IMO 3.75+ unweighted GPA is legit… unless you go to a crappy school.</p>

<p>Check with your school counselor. GPA doesn’t mean anything to us without a grasp of how hard your courses are at your school, how your school grades/weights. </p>

<p>Compare yourself to other kids from your school who got into wharton (grades, extra-currics, etc.)</p>

<p>yes it’s really important to see where your GPA stacks up against your classes. For example if you take a really hard math course where the average is a B-, and you get an A-, colleges will see that you challenged yourself and did very well, even if it may have pulled down your GPA a little.</p>
