<p>With all the news surrounding the financial arena and UPenn coming out, do you guys think that Wharton will have a higher admit rate this year? Will it be much easier to get in?</p>
<p>Maybe a higher admit rate, but they won’t be loosening up admissions standards.</p>
<p>A higher acceptance rate, almost certainly. But the student body will be no less eminently qualified than those preceding it.</p>
<p>no, it will actually be less qualified. considerably less qualified. i talked to one of the people on the wharton board of admissions and she told me this.</p>
<p>How did you manage that?</p>
<p>haha whoops, by “one of the people on the wharton board of admissions,” i meant “my friend’s senile neighbor who thinks penn is a writing implement.” sorry for the honest mistake!</p>
<p>Haha. I assumed the students would be of the same caliber, since they always had more qualified applicants than positions, but do you think it will be easier to get in now if you are a qualified student?</p>
<p>yay! I hope Wharton’s admit rate will exceed 10%</p>
<p>I hope it’s higer too, a least this year 
I reckon next year and the next next, everyone’s gonna start applying again. Though while Wharton apps have gone down a bit due to the crisis, I doubt it’d deter the more competitive, interested applicants. So the pool should still stay strong.</p>
<p>**** wharton. </p>
<p>go COLLEGE.</p>
<p>just kidding (kinda)</p>
<p>do you think it will go up next year, since the decrease in rank from Business Week?</p>
<p>Possibly, but most everyone still knows that Wharton is really no. 1.</p>
<p>Ahh…well I got deferred so I’m definitely hoping for higher admit rates…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hah. No. But Business Week’s credibility isn’t going to improve anytime soon…</p>
<p>doubt it…RD numbers are higher than last year’s…Wharton applicants probably still went up a bit or stay the same</p>
