Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

Hello,

I am currently a junior (HS Class of 2019) and I have a ~3.7 unweighted GPA. Does anyone know how this compares to the average Wharton Undergrad (Early Decision) admit’s unweighted GPA? (Weighted: ~4.3)

Thanks,
-A desperate high school student

It’s lower than most but you have a chance if you have good ecs? What are your ecs?

@collegeready33 Hi, I am involved in National Honor Society, Math Honor Society, Science Honor Society, History Honor society, English Honor Society, Varsity Track & Field, Varsity Tennis, Science Olympiads, Model UN, Mock Trial, and a few others in which I had lesser participation. However, I have done research on several occasions, with one in my freshman year winning 2nd place among ~40 teams.

Thanks

Some of your ecs seem a bit generic, but they are still very good. Best of luck!

colleges are not looking for a laundry list of honor societies. They are looking for someone with passion for something and comittment and possible leadership. It is called having an impact.
