1. Sure you _can_, but it'll look really rather unimpressive when what you meant by it comes out. Be honest.
2. Well, no - unless you want to lie. And lying on an application can be grounds for being expelled. Besides, they're not going to believe that you co-own a business. You're underage to be able to have signed any contract. If you're still in high school, you've got a long way to go before you'd be going to Wharton, if ever. You first need a Bachelor's degree. And, most MBA programs require business experience for admission. Wharton is one of the top MBA programs in the country, so it's highly competitive for admission and you'd need top-notch qualifications.
