<p>I am a junior and I am thinking about applying to wharton.</p>
<p>And I am thinking about accounting as my major......</p>
<p>What score do I have to have on my SAT?</p>
<p>and GPA?</p>
<p>any other important thing to know??</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>Two things that come to mind…Your soul and an 800 Math II</p>
<p>lol I am taking Math II in June. then I have to study really hard!!!
is Math II hard though?</p>
<p>It depends. It’s pre calc stuff. Math II was way easier for me than the math section on the SAT I because I hadn’t studied the stuff on the SAT since 8th grade :/</p>
<p>But if they had a calculus one, I would have destroyed it. I got 780 on math II, by the way.</p>
<p>meh i got into wharton ED with a 750 math II…they’re really looking more at your personality in my opinion; they want to see that you can interact and work well with others. counselor and teacher recommendations play a big part in this, as well as a few key remarks you might make in your essays about your people skills. just a few thoughts.</p>

<p>Upenn wants money. lots of it</p>
<p>Why the hell would you EVER be an accounting major at Wharton? you would really rather make 45k than all your friends who go into banking and make 120k?</p>
<p>^^ not correct. You can concentrate in just about anything and go into banking. Also, knowing accounting very well helps you bite through balance sheets (which is what analysts do on a daily basis). Might as well note:</p>

“Many students find the accounting concentration to be useful preparation for careers in consulting, investment banking, general management, public accounting, and securities analysis”</p>
<p>Is the UPenn adcom basically a bunch of security analysts who require an expected return from their students (via endowment) as the CAPM requires [that is, higher risk should have higher expected return], or do they have a different investment philosophy?</p>
<p>“Upenn” (sic) would also probably want you to write their name properly ;)</p>
<p>Oh, so know we’re talking about franchise value… wait a sec 4:44 AM O.o</p>
