<p>The admission rate is lower at Wharton, thus it is more selective. There are overlaps in statistics (GPAs and SATs scores) in admitted Wharton students and HYPS students, therefore the claim that
can be made.</p>
<p>If the students at Curtis Institute of Music have similar statistics as the students from Wharton, HYPS, then yes, we can assume they are on par. But we are not just looking at admissions rate.</p>
<p>However, the allegation that Wharton and CAS look for different profiles of students cannot be substantiated because one can only apply to one school. A minority of admitted students at Wharton will have prior “business” related experience but most don’t have any real experience (they are HS students after all) except an interest in business.</p>
<p>The admissions stats (with GPA and SAT scores) at undergraduate Wharton aren’t published but are told to parents during orientation.</p>
