<p>I’m good at math, but hate it.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You only need BC calc to graduate. Many wharton students never take any math courses in their 4 years cause they got a 5 on the AP. Closest thing to math that you’ll be required to take is stat 101 and 102.</p>

<p>But you should be quantitative if you want to pursue a career in finance (i.e ibanking).</p>

<p>The actual math in ibanking doesn’t go much beyond basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. On the other hand, you should probably develop a passion for Microsoft Excel lol.</p>

<p>Not math heavy at all. Only problem is Wharton still suffers from a rep problem due to banking prejudice. Most blame the crash on the Wharton types. So jobwise its a problem.
But its a great school though the area is awful.</p>

And you say this based on WHAT? As I stated in another thread, this is utter nonsense. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Probably one of the most moronic things I’ve ever read. You clearly don’t go to Wharton, so you are in no position to say it’s “not math heavy at all”. I posted this in the UPENN section so I could get feedback from real students, not people like you.</p>

<p>95.5% of Wharton graduates have a job offer upon graduation. Why would investment banks (GS, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley etc.) not accept Wharton graduates geared towards finance - especially since it’s so highly ranked in that sector?</p>

<p>I liked Philly, so the statement that it’s a “bad” area is subjective - and more importantly wasn’t relevant to my original question.</p>

<p>Why are you even on CC? You’re talking out of your *ss and it’s embarassing.</p>
