I'm not in Wharton. I'm in SAS. Maybe I would have applied differently if I didn't think I wanted to be a doctor back in high school...

SAS is engineering right? If you don't want to be a Doctor now, could you double major or minor from Wharton?

sas is not engineering, sas is arts and sciences

and there are no wharton minors (except for stat and interschool)

Chill out guys SATs aren't all they're cracked up to be. I got into the Huntsman Program (Dual Degree in CAS and Wharton) with only a 1370 SAT, which, compared to some of you guys on this thread is nothing. SATs are only a very small part of the decision so don't sweat so much over it. And in response to the first guy, I had a couple of 3's (as well as a whole lot more 5's tho) and still got in so don't sweat it you'll do fine.

Advice: really take some time to write your essays, and make them genuine--they were a large part, besides GPA, of what got me into all the schools I applied to even with my comparatively sub-par SATs.

Don't sweat the SATs too much.

The replies are all so encouraging! Thanks everyone!
Anyone else has anything to say about the 3's or admission to Penn?

Sorry to give you some bad news but I heard that now the competition is so tough that it is a huge disadvantage to be anywhere below 2250 on the SAT. I heard this from a frend who goes to penn. Actualy in your case... you are right there at 2240 so I am not sure that would be a huge problem for you. I really want to go to penn as well... it is my dream school but I only have a 2180 SAT. However, I think that a few bad APs isnt terrible and as long as you are taking AP classes you have a great chance. Like all the others said... Penn cares alot about the essays and ECs... i dont have many EC so I plan to write excellent essays. Make sure you do the supplement to the common app and show alot of genuine interest in the school.

Your SAT is fine. AP's mean surprisingly little and are only really used for initial class placement. Keep optimistic

alej414 and Lugburz:

what was your SAT Math I & SAT II Math score? Isn't the Math score the one that Wharton is most concerned with? Did you have any other hooks becoz from what I have heard, you need very high test scores and rank for Wharton.

Will you be freshmen this fall?

Thanks!
