<p>ED Wharton and transfer out into CAS after a year if i truly find that business is not for me, but for right now I think I would be interested. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.663/5.0
Rank: 2/531
SAT: 2070 retake oct
ACT: 32 highest in one sitting/ 33 combined
SAT: math 2-800 chem-750 chinese-770(extremely sad i know) lit-in nov
Chinese female
Middle class suburb st. louis, MO
4APs: 5 calc bc 5 stat 5 chem 3 USH
All APS senior year except for one class(req to graduate)
My profile leans a lot into science, however I was looking into maybe bioinformatics or biostatistics(which i don’t think wharton offers but i’ll pursue that after Undergrad wharton) or acturial science. </p>
<p>4 academic summer programs(not college summer school programs)
volunteer and work experience(although not interning with like business firms</p>
<p>i’d highly recommend doing ED cuz ur SAT score is about 200 points too low for wharton… penn doesn’t combine ACT scores so ur 32 is what is going to count</p>
<p>Why would you apply ED to Wharton if you aren’t a 100 percent sure thats where you want to be. Wharton is for business and there are plenty of other schools that have programs that might be more suited for what your looking for. I know there is a joint degree Life Science program which deals a lot more with the science and then business as an afterthought. But going ED is about increasing your chances but because your positive you want to go to what school.</p>
<p>i’d recommend the scholars program which lets u major in biochem from the CAS… the students there are very happy</p>
<p>“My profile leans a lot into science, however I was looking into maybe bioinformatics or biostatistics(which i don’t think wharton offers but i’ll pursue that after Undergrad wharton)…”</p>
<p>No offense, but that plan makes no sense. If you really want to do something like that, apply to a dual-degree program (either M&T or College&Wharton).</p>
<p>yeah if you are really interested in science and business, vagelos life sciences management is the way to go.</p>
<p>ok thanks, I looked into it. I think its a better fit for me. Does anyone actually know someone whose in the program or its selectivity?</p>
<p>It’s relatively new, so I guess they’re looking for fresh talent.</p>
<p>actually i looked at the jerome fisher program in mangagement and tech as well as the bagelos program in life sciences and mangagment, they both look relativly similar, geared towards math/science/business, i’m currently debating the two. any thoughts?</p>
<p>i’d choose the jerome fisher program… it is much more respected in the workforce (well known)… the vagelos program is in its first few years and i don’t think that companies will realize how difficult it is to gain admittance into the program (29/200 kids this year)</p>
<p>choose fisher m&t… u’ll have an easier time finding a job</p>
<p>“choose fisher m&t… u’ll have an easier time finding a job”</p>
<p>If you get in that is… lol…</p>
<p>wow you guys are cynical. Why not go into the program because it is really good besides the fact that employers might not know about it as much as they you would want them to. Then it should be your job to inform your potential employer.</p>
<p>How about you choose the program that better suits your desired major? Look through the curriculum of the CSE major and Biology major. Both have a concentration geared towards what you seem to be interested in so pick whichever curriculum looks more appealing.</p>
<p>Is there a joint degree program in Penn that focuses only on science (med)? If not, is it…how should i say it…less difficult to transfer into a joint degree program from the college?</p>
