<p>Thank you if you can give me an honest evaluation!</p>
<p>Scores, courseload, etc. are amazing, as a first generation Chinese immigrant they won't think much of an 800 in Chinese when its put next to your other scores. </p>
<p>Work hard to get some solid recs and really focus on your essay in light of your ec's. Its obvious you're qualified as a student to be at Penn, prove to the admissions that you'll be more than a book worm as part of the community. Show them who you are and what you do as a person, club member, and friend.</p>
<p>P.S. - Not implying that you're a book worm, by the way.</p>
<p>Any econ classes offered at your school? If so, you should be kicking yourself. If not, great job. Congrats on your accomplishments and go great on your essay. Don't necessarily lock in on Wharton though. Tons of great schools offer Intl Business and undergrad degrees in intl business look great from many schools.</p>
<p>We don't really have any economy classes. I think we have some semester electives for marketing and entrepeneurship, but they are supposedly pretty much random joke classes and I thought I'd better stick with the rigorous curriculum route.</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much for evaluating me! I think I'm academically qualified, but I do think my ECs are a little lacking. Again, we have a really small school and rather secluded town with very little opportunities for ECs relating to international business. The closest thing I guess would be World Affairs Council/Model UN, which I'm an officer of, and I've had the advisor for class for three years and I'm asking him to write me a letter of rec, so I think it will be alright. I think the main thing is probably to open myself up and show them that I'm an aware and international person. Thank you all for the great advice.</p>
<p>AWESOME grades! I'm so impressed...how do you do that? haha</p>
<p>but you do have to realize that Ivy Leagues, especially Wharton, look beyond the perfect grades (many often reject perfect 4.0 just because they think you may be a book worm...definitly not saying you are!!) </p>
<p>seems like you're more concentrated in the science area...where else do you want to go?</p>
<p>I guess I am a little bit more concentrated in the science area, but I took a lot of those courses because they are the most challenging in our school. Plus, our school doesn't really have a ton of focus on economics or international relations. I would kill to get into Huntsman, but I think I narrowed down my other choices to be Swarthmore, NYU Stern, Georgetown, Harvard, and Yale.</p>
