<p>thanks... im just scared cause i hear how difficult wharton is specifically, do any of y'all know the sat breakdowns and stuff for wharton, if they even give it out?</p>
<p>Legacy is nice and will help. However, Ms. O'Connell the international Deans of Admissions, who visited my school, said that Wharton has recently (past four years) undergone changes in the focus of its curriculum. Apparently, students must have a really strong math background, including a semester of AP Calculus BC or the equivalent.</p>
<p>I remember asking her how Penn can expect every high school to offer AP Calculus BC or the like, and she replied that the adcom expects you to go beyond and enroll in a college math course. I don't know if that helps you. I may be wrong...I don't know. I am telling you from my experience when she visited here.</p>
<p>WOOOT THATS SO AWESOME! i took calc ab last year and got a 5, and im talking calc BC and stats this year. WOOT MATH FOCUS. and i have 800 on sat2 and 740 on sat1m WOOT kim you have re-given me hope! woot and one of my recs was from my stats teacher! hrm. i wonder if i could fax them like just my calc bc grade percentage lololo.</p>
<p>ok sorry that was really random and doesn't help you w/ your chances at all but i duno kim's post made me really ahppy =P</p>
<p>okkkkk but yeah. your stats aren't too bad, legacy is sweet...i'd say, take the dec SAT2s (even if you hafta take em standby) and get your sat2's a bit higher. other than that I couldn't say cuz i dont have your full stats. (and either way i probably can't say, after all im 16, lol..). try taking sat2mathIIc, it seems that if you are pretty chill with most of the topics, u can learn the few that u dont know real fast, and since theres a curve you just might do better than you'd think. and maybe get soem academic ECs in there? well i dont know what u could start doing now..haha...but you know, whatever.</p>
<p>ok bye!</p>
<p>OMG KIM U MADE MY DAY. <3 k bye.</p>
<p>btw forz: we weren't all crazy. back in october when we were doing our apps we were all sane. now that its 7 days till penn decisions we're all going a bit insane. heheh.</p>
