<p>Is it a lot harder to get into Wharton than to the other Penn colleges?</p>
<p>Approximately what % of Wharton applicants are applied regular decision?</p>
<p>No, it is not significantly harder to get into Wharton than the other schools at Penn. While Wharton's acceptance rate is much lower, that is more a product of the large interest and small class size compared to the College or SEAS. But Wharton kids on the whole have only slightly stronger academic and non-academic backgrounds than SEAS or CAS kids.</p>
<p>I find that me and my fellow Wharton students have academic credentials very similar to those students in other schools at Penn...thus I think nodnard has got it exactly right.</p>
<p>Used to be bigger until the 1990s and the gap has been inexorably narrowing ever since. Unfortunately popular perception always lags in catching up to reality, which is why we still have people asking this bloody question.</p>
<p>There is a difference of roughly 3 percentage points between SAS and Wharton admit rates. I should apply my spectacular stat-111 knowledge to figure out if that is even a statistically significant difference...</p>
<p>well early decision to the college is low 30%. early for wharton is 17% i think.</p>
<p>the days of 30+% ED rates are long gone, that is ever since Penn admitted me.</p>
<p>You say 17% for wharton, but how many people actullay apply to wharton?</p>
<p>4000 is the total number of people that apply to Penn, not just wharton.</p>
