<p>Hey kafkareborn!</p>
<p>I am a high school senior applying ED to Penn/Wharton. At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to apply to Wharton because of the endless horror stories I had heard about the school, but this post has changed my mind. I just spent the last 2 hours reading each post and verifying what people are saying through other internet resources, and for the most part it seems legit!</p>
<p>I need some advice, though. I have zero business EC’s, except for this one project a couple of my friends and I took up. We targeted agricultural overproduction, which is a huge problem in my country, and designed a prototype and business model to eradicate the negative effects of this problem. We have a patent on the design, and are working with our country’s government to launch a pilot run of our model.</p>
<p>Is this the type of entrepreneurial spirit that Wharton are looking for in their applicants? I do not dream of a sexy, high paying finance job. I do not want to build huge capitalist empires. I want to help people. Are there students at Wharton who are taking up such projects? For the benefit of others?</p>
