Wharton - SAT IIs

<p>I haven’t decided my SAT IIs yet. I know i need maths but do i need Math 1&2 or only 2?</p>

<p>And if i take a science subject test, will that be viewed as useless or what?</p>

<p>Is english better?</p>

<p>Whats the basic cut off point for SAT IIs (i know there isn’t but you’re suppose to be good at it)</p>

<p>500 or 600? and looked specifically at Wharton!</p>

<p>For Wharton you need 2 SATIIs. They either require or recomend (equal to requireing) the MathIIC. MathIC will not be looked at if you have a solid MathIIC score. I would say your best bet for the second SATII is to take a language one (like Spanish). You do not need to and I doubt that it will affect your chances. If you doubt you can score well on the language SATII, just take the test you can score best on. For Wharton I would guess you need 800 MathIIC and 750+ on the other one (if not 800) to be considered a competitive applicant. There is no real formula for SAT scores, but if you do not have a hook and/or something else that puts you above the rest, you need to have the best stats possible to remain competitive. Wharton is very hard to get into and everything must be as close to perfect as possible for you to have a good chance of getting in. Good luck with admissions and the SATIIs.</p>

<p>^Uhh I'm fairly sure a 800 on Math IIC is not required let alone even neccessary to be considered a strong applicant at Wharton. I've heard numerous times that as long as you have 700 or higher on your SAT II's, you'll be perfectly fine. Remember venkater that stats and grades only get an applicant considered, it's the essays that make or break an application. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Uhh, I know lots of people who have 800s on the MathIIC. Some took the IC and IIC the same day and got mid 700s IC and 800s IIC. I think the statistics put the top 92% in 780-800. You need to be better than more than 92% of people to get int a college as competitive as Wharton. Wharton is competitive. Deal with it. It would not suprise me if half the Wharton admits had perfect SATIIs. There is no reason to start out behind in the admissions game. Having low scores means you need to catch up by having better ECs and better essays. IMO, when applying somewhere so competitive, it is best to have nothing quantitative holding you back like SATs and GPA. Putting too much pressure on the qualitative stuff is not going to be good because if the adcom doesnt like your essays, or doesnt think your ECs are strong enough, you may be done.</p>
