Athletic recruit needs a minimum SAT for Wharton. I think it might be 1500, not sure. Doesn't seem to be a minimum for normal UPenn athletes as I know one with 1100 SAT.

Please know that this reply is not to undermine the kids, 99% are super solid students. It's just happens to be where Penn is leaning these days with admits from our circles (and I have no complaints).
W school admit not legacy that is bunk the DmV believes. Not a minority. Male
Let me guess: soccer player?

He chose Duke, but it was a very close call and he liked many aspects of both.
DD is very interested in Duke, how does your son like it?

I don’t know any Wharton admits.
The few kids I know of were athletes and URMs. I also know a few unhooked super smart Asian kids. For all the kids who get rejected, a few do make it.

Why does the school maintain a desirable standing if they mainly accept legacy, staff children, athletes only?
People want to attend because it’s “elite,” but they are just picking people associated with the school or that have athletic ability.

I know two recent admits, both were recruited athletes and good students with high test scores.

I know 3:
-rowing commit
-URM who started a small scale, interesting non-profit
-Asian who started a massive non-profit with a volunteer network of hundreds of youth in multiple states plus completed about 4 different internships, etc. Basically entered college with a resume better than mine and I'm 49.
