Wharton vs. Columbia?

It was a rough estimate from the total acceptances of ~4000 x about 11% international student body x 40% of internationals who were Canadian/Mexican x a rough split between Canada and Mexico.

I made assumptions and worked with the numbers I had. Regardless, it’s not a lot of acceptances. Not when you consider all the people applying from private schools, magnet high schools, and even public schools (such as myself). Even higher numbers in the big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary (where unsurprisingly, there’s a substantial Asian/first generation immigrant population). So couple the volume of Canadian applicants with at most 100-150 acceptances for the entire country, it’s still a very small acceptance rate.

so tl;dr: if you never shoot, you will miss 100% of the shots (or something along those lines) Best of luck!

edit: just looked at 45Percenter’s link, seems like the student body is made up of more Canadians I assumed. Which is all the better for us I guess.
