University of Pennsylvania admission rate?

I already know the admission rate for the whole school but what about the business program it self. What is the Wharton's admission rate alone?

    The 13% number has two problems. The first is that it is for the MBA program. The second is that it is too low. To get that number, the article divided the number of enrolled students by the number of applications. It should be the number of admitted students divided by the number of applications. The class size is 797. There were 1193 applicants who were accepted out of 6647. This works out to 17.95%.

    Wharton does publish the statistics for undergraduates. See the link below.

    Wharton received about 5500 applications. It admitted 650 students and matriculated 600. That means that about 11.8% are admitted.

    The above reference is for Wharton's grad school. Undergrad numbers are not published separately, but Penn's overall 18% for the class of 2012 means it's probably in the neighborhood of !0%.

    you could't pass via ED/EA attractiveness costs to choose your possibility of being commonplace. on the Ivies, the ED/EA attractiveness costs could be greater than the nicely-known determination attractiveness costs, yet it rather is with the help of the fact the applicants are in many circumstances the very ideas-blowing scholars, the scholars who're the main in all probability to be admitted no count number what pool they are in, the little ones with 4.0 unweighted in the main rigorous classes on the main rigorous faculties, 2400 and close SATs, 800's on SAT II's, 5's on all APs, statewide and national awards, outstanding extracurriculars. So for a pupil who isn't on the ideas-blowing of the applicant stats, you have much less of a raffle to be admitted than you do with nicely-known admission because of the fact ED/EA applicants tend to be the wonderful and you'd be while in comparison with them. greater acceptable to be in the pool with scholars who are not all on the very ideas-blowing. mutually as exhibiting activity in the college with ED/EA would carry somewhat weight at some faculties (yet no longer on the Ivies, makes no distinction), returned, early applicants are in many circumstances the main effective, and the main arranged. be specific to examine the regulations on EA/ED to make certain you recognize if the alternative is binding, in case you could no longer word early someplace else even despite if it rather is not any longer binding, etc. (My dh participates in the admissions technique for his Ivy alma mater, and our son attends a ideas-blowing private college with extreme Ivy matriculation, so i'm attentive to the way it works.) U of Arizona does not have EA/ED, even for the Honors college and national benefit Finalists who're taking their furnish of merely approximately a loose holiday. The UC's have not got EA/ED the two. i believe NYU has a number of possibilities of EA/ED, some are binding, so examine heavily. USC does not have EA/ED, even even though it does have a December a million time shrink for some courses and for scholarship attention. different faculties have early cut-off dates that are no longer EA/ED for specific courses. sturdy luck!
