<p>Besides grades and test scores, what are some of the intangibles that Wharton looks for in applicants? Also, what have been some of the more outstanding pieces of someone's application who was offered admission?</p>
<p>help please</p>
<p>-Movers and shakers
-Leadership
-Being Well rounded
-Interest in business, Wharton, and Penn</p>
<p>In my opinion, one of the outstanding things in my application was my leading of my school’s social justice club and our initiative which made my school go sweat-shop free (all school apparel now comes from manufacturers which use fair labor practices). In my 150 words elaborating on an extracurricular activity, I talked about the school administration’s stubbornness etc. This spoke to my “mover/shaker-ness.” </p>
<p>Other than that, my essays were pretty creative and my Penn supplement was good. Ironically enough, I have basically no experience in the world of business/finance, so don’t feel like you need to intern at Goldman or Ernst & Young—just pursue what you’re passionate about and it will show. I was worries that this wouldn’t “express interest in business” but I honestly don’t think the admissions officers will expect you to be steeped in the world of business before coming to college.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>I just wanted to put this out there as a general question. Does Wharton necessarily look for something different in its applicants than the other top schools HYP. Obviously interest in business is something they look at that other schools don’t, but outside of that, are there any different aspects to their review process? </p>
<p>Answering that might help future applicants, or not.</p>
