<p>SAT- Not taken yet but for comparison sake, I'm confident I can easily get at least a 2100 but aiming for over 2200</p>
<p>EC: -Play on a top 10 soccer team in state, don't want to play in college.
- 3 year member of high school radio station (leadership role)
- Part time job
- 2 year volunteer at local soccer organization</p>
<p>Also, comment on my chances on getting into other top ten business schools (Stern, Olin, Carroll.)</p>
<p>@jordancohen I don’t think @JesseY has applied Early Decision… he doesn’t have SAT scores.</p>
<p>@JesseY: right now you are a very generic applicant to Wharton. Get involved in something you care about that is business oriented to make you stand out of the crowd!</p>
<p>@ jessey: study hard for the SAT/SAT IIs and also beef up your ECs. Nothing really stands out. If your soccer team was top 10 nationally it would be one thing…but top 10 in the state is not all that impressive. Also not sure how rigorous your curriculum is compared to others at your school (i.e. is it the most rigorous?) as it seems low to only have a few honors and AP classes…at my h.s., for example, all of the ivy+ kids were taking at least 12 APs, etc. If you were doing less it made you look like a slacker in the adcoms eyes compared to your classmates.</p>
<p>btw, this is just an FYI for everyone, the undergrad part of wharton is referred to as “The Wharton School” while the MBA part of wharton is referred to as the “Wharton Business School.” :)</p>
Maybe unofficially in certain quarters. But officially, the entire school (including the MBA program) is simply “The Wharton School” (no “Business” required! :)). I remember when the official name was “The Wharton School of Finance and Commerce,” informally shortened by many to “The Wharton School of Finance” (as Donald Trump still does), and it was during my time as a student there that the name was officially shortened to the simple but eloquent “The Wharton School.”</p>
Since *when<a href=“and%20says%20%5Bi%5Dwho%5B/i%5D”>/i</a>? That’s the first time I’ve heard that one in the 3+ decades I’ve been a Wharton alum. :)</p>
<p>@45percenter: career services and the counseling office have been giving that guidance for a long time…at least since I started as a freshman in 2004. You can see, for example, the resume requirements for undergrads states the following:</p>
<p>Resume Requirements and Guidelines
Your resume MUST meet the requirements below:</p>
<p>Official School Names
College: College of Arts and Sciences (note: no undergraduate may list Annenberg as their school on their resume; however, Communication majors may list Annenberg School coursework on their resumes.)
Engineering: School of Engineering & Applied Science
Nursing: School of Nursing
Wharton: The Wharton School (not Wharton School of Business)</p>
<p>^ I know that. My question is, where is it said that MBA students can call it the Wharton School of Business (or Wharton Business School)? That would be equally inaccurate on a resume. For ALL purposes, the offical name of the school is The Wharton School, period.</p>
You’ve got an okay chance… but your ECs don’t look great at all (esp. for business school…)</p>
