Here’s the “middle 50%” of scores for incoming students at Penn, regardless of which internal school (so Wharton’s range would logically be higher than this one):



Wharton’s range on the Math section might be higher, although I don’t necessarily think that’s the case (SEAS students, and science and pre-med students in the College may actually have higher Math scores), but Wharton’s ranges on the Critical Reading and Writing sections are almost certainly NOT higher than those of Penn undergrads overall. While the acceptance rate may be a bit lower for Wharton than it is for Penn overall, there’s never been any indication that applicants accepted to Wharton are more academically qualified than Penn undergrads overall in terms of SATs, GPAs, etc. It’s just that because of Wharton’s higher admissions yield as a unique undergraduate business program among the top schools, fewer applicants need to be accepted per available Wharton space than need to be accepted per available space in the other undergraduate schools at Penn (at least for the College and SEAS). But again, there has NEVER been any indication that Wharton undergrads are more academically qualified than students in Penn’s other undergraduate schools.
