<li><p>I know that College students need to talk to an adviser before registering… but what about Wharton students? I heard that there is just a pool of advisers so how does that work? I would just like to know because my vacation is right in the middle of registration.</p></li>
<li><p>Are we assigned to a Management 100 course? If so, when do we find out? Is there a way to change to fit other courses in our schedules or no?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>10 char</p>
<ol>
<li><p>One will send you an e-mail asking if you have any questions or something, but no, you don’t have to talk to them to register.</p></li>
<li><p>Yeah, you get something in the mail around mid-June, along with registration information, that has the section you were assigned to. I’m pretty sure they don’t let you change them except for extreme circumstances. The only person I know who changed their MGMT100 class was in Huntsman, and needed to take a language that conflicted.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>Just one more question…</p>
<ol>
<li>Would not taking Math 114 hurt me if I wanted to take Finance 205 (Investment Management) and Finance 235 (Fixed Income Securities)? Both of these can count as Math cognates.</li>
</ol>
<p>If 205 and 235 dont have 114 as a prereq then you should be fine. You probably won’t take them till junior year so you have four or more semesters to take 114 if you need to.</p>
<p>Sorry to keep adding…</p>
<ol>
<li>Are there any general education requirements from the college that would be helpful for Wharton (outside of econ and math)?</li>
</ol>
<p>Computer Science courses count towards science requirements. They can be useful. If you’re a marketing concentrator, psychology could be useful.</p>
<p>How does the curve work? I never understood that…</p>
<p>For a standard non-honros Wharton core course (Acct 101, Fnce 100, etc.) the course is curved so that about 25% get As, 30% get Bs, etc. That means you need to score in the top 25% of the class to have an A. What you should generally aim for is to be above the mean and median scores. It helps to be at least one standard deviation above the mean. It’s not like high school where a 90% is automatically an A. For example, if the average grade in a class is 50 with a standard deviation of 20, scoring a 50 on the test would put you at a solid B-. Scoring 70 would put you at a solid A.</p>
<p>Are the honors courses curved harder or easier or is the work just harder?</p>
<p>Honors courses are curved easier (~1/3 As and in some you are almost guaranteed at least a B if you try hard). The work is harder though.</p>
