Should I apply SAS or Wharton?

Yeah, the smart kids are usually in SEAS.

Regardless - please apply with a long-term goal. While it is correct that many wharton courses are able to be taken by all, the intro courses such as FNCE 100, MGMT 100, ACCT 101, are all primarily reserved for Wharton students. It will be quite difficult to get in, and without those courses, you won’t be able to move forward in Wharton much.

Don’t apply to get in. There are plenty of SAS students at penn that got in just for penn. There are quite a few SEAS girls that got in because it’s easier to get in that way.
Penn admissions call them “backdoor trojans.”
