<p>I’m not sure which school to apply to. What are the stats for admissions on Wharton RD, anyone know?</p>
<p>Also, I find the page 217 interesting, but I’ve seen worse. (cough… how did you get caught…) Many people seem to like ridiculous prompts like that though. If I make my own university one day, my prompt is going to be “Why the?”</p>
<p>hahaha i wrote how did you get caught/or not caught for uchicago…i found that to be easier than penn’s essay mainly because there was no page restriction. </p>
<p>i wrote my penn communities essay, but i used a few paragraphs from it in essays for wellesley, uchicago, and something else…but i forgot.
my comm essay is pretty much focused on one organization then touches on a few others…it’s pretty lopsided</p>

I loved that true learning video. I’ve watched it 3-4 times, and each time I feel more inspired.

I’m applying RD for Wharton, Accounting Major, with French minor.</p>
<p>So far, I’ve been accepted to UChicago and UMich.</p>
<p>yeah! i also watched that video!</p>
<p>hey guys. i’m from missouri and i’m applying RD too! i’d also like to do huntsman but if not i’ll settle for arts & sciences :)</p>
<p>and what is this true learning video? anybody wanna post it?</p>
<p>it’s on youtube and on the website
on youtube type in University of pennsylvania true learning</p>
<p>So does anyone have the admissions stats for wharton?</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - “True Learning” - University of Pennsylvania](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGpOizUIY60]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGpOizUIY60)
Enjoy! It was definitely a worthwhile video to watch.</p>
<p>Hopeful Penn CAS 2014’ RD’er!</p>
<p>It’s about three or four percentage points lower than the undergraduate acceptance rate as a whole. The College is about a percentage point or two lower. Engineering and Nursing are both about ten to twelve percentage points higher than the average acceptance rate. </p>
<p>Generally speaking for regular decision at Penn you can presume that around 8-10% are going to accepted to Wharton, 10-11% to the College, 22-24% to Engineering and the same to Nursing, to yield roughly a 12% admissions rate. Early decision has a significant effect, especially on the two larger schools (CAS and Wharton).</p>
<p>I love that video, I’ve seen it so many times haha. And its good to stalk the Penn channel on youtube. Anyone pretended they said 2014 instead 0f 2013 on the convocation ceremony? :P</p>

That’s really interesting. Do you know why Engineering & Nursing have such high acceptance rates, relatively speaking?</p>
<p>Of course… fewer people apply to the schools. They look to fill a certain number of spots each year in each school, regardless of the number of applicants.</p>
<p>@nelesy: No, just to Wharton.</p>
<p>wow that was an awesome video. theres so much to do at penn!</p>
<p>
Those rates for Engineering and Nursing are closer to the overall acceptance rates for those schools, not the RD rates (which are significantly lower). E.g., a few years ago, it was announced that the Nursing School had accepted overall about 125 of over 500 applicants.</p>
<p>125/500 is exactly 25%, putting it slightly above the 22-24% RD rate and below the 28-30% ED rate (estimations, of course)</p>
<p>well it was 125 out of OVER 500, which sounds like slightly less than 25%</p>
<p>^lol same thing 
so it looks like no matter where we apply, excluding nursing and engineering, we’re looking at ~10% acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Okay, this is probably a really dumb question, but, how is Penn engineering?</p>
<p>You guys should check out the Penn channel on youtube. There are a lot of inspirational vids there ;)</p>
