Got into Wharton - am I cooked?
Hi all - have gotten into the current schools so far: USC Marshall, Penn Wharton, Michigan Ross, + Columbia & Cornell likely letters.
Am from Norcal and was in between USC and Wharton because college experience is pretty big for me, and I know I'd have the time of my life at USC and would probably be competitive for most of the same jobs (aside from your bx tacops and whatnot) from USC with one of the top clubs and would just have a better college experience.
Unfortunately, due to some personal medical issues, I might have to stay at home and support my family for the next year and will have to enroll in community college next to home. How much will this derail my career? I want to graduate on time and don't want to defer my enrollments a year. I want to eventually end up working in the public markets and can go into banking out of college if it gives me better access to hedge funds. How cooked does community college make me?
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Wharton only has ED, you can’t pick between USC and Wharton and Cornell and Columbia likely letters don’t even come out now, days after apps are due, no need to make that stuff up
Wharton has ED and can EA USC because of financial aid. Have Cornell and Columbia "likely" letters b/c I spent the last 3 years researching with a professor duo from both + they wrote my recs.
Even if this was true, you could just take a gap year and enroll later…
Ask adcom for accommodations or delay admission
I would ask for a delay from adcom, and let’s be clear going to Wharton (or Columbia) does not just open BX Tacops and that sort, it matters for a lot more than that. You probably also would still have a good college experience at Wharton or Columbia
