Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
Pre-Baccalaureate Program
Overview
I completed two courses through the Wharton Global Youth Program's Pre-Baccalaureate offering at the University of Pennsylvania. The program brings high school students into a rigorous, university-level academic environment — designed to challenge and develop analytical thinking ahead of undergraduate study.
Across Behavioural Economics and Data and Statistics, I explored how psychology shapes financial decision-making, and how quantitative methods are applied to real-world data analysis. The combination gave me a grounded framework for thinking about both human behaviour and evidence-based reasoning.
What I Studied
Two courses covering behavioural science and quantitative analysis.
01
Behavioural Economics
Examined how cognitive biases, heuristics, and psychological factors influence economic decisions. Topics included prospect theory, loss aversion, nudge theory, and the gap between classical rational-agent models and actual human behaviour. Grade: A−.
02
Data and Statistics
Covered statistical reasoning, probability, data visualisation, and hypothesis testing. Applied quantitative methods to analyse real datasets, drawing evidence-based conclusions — building the foundation for data-driven decision-making. Grade: A+.
