<p>Hey guys…I’m an '09 Whartonian.</p>
<p>I was curious, from kids that are currently in Wharton or have friends there, what’s the workload, hardness of classes, how are tests, etc., anything of that nature would be really helpful! Thanks so much, and see some of you guys next year!</p>
<p>MGMT 100 - no tests, it's just one big project, grades are random. and yes, the terrible curve applies. Management 100 can either take up a lot of time or very little, depending on the project you get assigned. </p>
<p>The workload for my other Wharton classes isn't too much, you're responsible for studying on your own most of the time. As I said, it isn't the material, work, etc. that's tough, it's the curve.</p>
<p>Poop the curve! It is wicked challenging to curve a class full of geniuses and academic mongels. Hey does all classes have to curve? What types of projects are you hinting at? How many classes aside from the Wharton currciulum can one take? Could I possibly take the classes designated for Wharton Marketing concentration, spanish, chinese, 2 nrotc classes, and some science classes in a year? do you have any history or math or english requirements?</p>
<p>i agree with frapgrl my mngt100 project took up a lot of time while i had friends who barely did any work. the grading in that class is really arbitrary....</p>
<p>linda, you can take a mix of different courses although first semester will look something like this:</p>
<p>MNGT100
CALC104
LANGUAGE/ELECTIVE
ECON001
WRITING REQ.</p>
<p>second semester will look kind of like this:</p>
<p>ECON002
STAT101
OPIM101
LANGUAGE/ELECTIVE
ELECTIVE</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend taking more than 5 classes in a semester. Also you do have requirements. You have to take 7 classes (2 in 2 sections, and 3 in one section). The sections are 1. Arts, Culture, etc. 2. Social Sciences type classes 3. Sci/Tech type classes. </p>
<p>I would not recommend taking any of the business cores other than OPIM, STAT during freshman year. You'll get dominated in the upper level courses...if you want to take more wharton classes frosh year i'd recommend taking LGST101,LGST210,BPUB203 in order to start getting other requirements out of the way.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply! It definitely sounds competitive. I just wish I could fit in the number of classes I want to take without ripping my brains out. I definitely have to take 2 Nrtoc classes a year but I am not sure if those count as credits, and those 2 foreign language courses. I would want to take some science courses in Psychology, astronomy, anthropology, and maybe others at the College. Maybe I could totally skip math? I got calc and stats already with AP and 5 on the test, plus I took a UN course of microecon at Harvard summer school so half of econ done. Well, hell, I will find a way to schedule my classes fine.
'Would you say the peeps at WHarton are super competitive and motivated and want to get on top of that curve?</p>
<p>yeah wharton's curriculum isn't too flexible, 15 of 37 classes will be non-business courses and that's about it. You're coming here for the best ug business education and you're going to get it.</p>
<p>15 out of 37 is still a good number that's like 40% ish of your calsses</p>
