I’m not a Wharton student, but a lot of my friends were. I definitely don’t think that Wharton students use a ton of advanced math in their coursework (linear algebra, ODE’s, PDE’s, etc.). Most math you will be using will be introductory statistics and maybe some single variable calculus. Especially as you move up to higher level courses, you will need to do a lot of group projects, presentations, etc. So I wouldn’t worry about it. I think that it if you work hard, you can overcome any deficiencies in your math abilities. For intro level classes like finance and accounting, there is a ton of tutoring services available too that are probably underutilized, so don’t be afraid to seek extra help.
