Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a rising senior.
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White
From Long Island, NY</p>

<p>I know Wharton is extremely tough to get into. I actually plan to apply to the school of international business there. I was just wondering if I have a shot. My mother went to UPenn, so I do have legacy. The following is my resume. The format from Word didn't quite match well, so it's a bit messy. I listed details about each category under the category title. Such category titles are business education, music, education, test scores, APs, etc. Any responses would be great! Thanks.</p>

<p>Your application is looking very good. If you don't get in, I don't know what I'm going to do. ;) But yeah.. your SATs are good, your ECs are excellent. Do well on your other subject tests and you have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>terrific application, i think you should be able to get accepted! Can you chance me please?

<p>best of luck!</p>

<p>any more comments would be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>Your EC's are outstanding...you've show a lot of commitment! Your test scores are excellent too! I personally think you have a shot at Wharton even without the legacy factor! Good luck!</p>

8

<p>I think you're in. Congrats!</p>

9

<p>hey thanks for the posts</p>

10

<p>*hey if you read the original post you can just skip the music stuff- I just put it up because it was on my original resume. *</p>

11

<p>If you get above 750 on the other two SATIIs, i'd say you have a 50/50 chance.</p>

<p>Wharton is very selective, good luck.
I'm ED to Upenn to (but engineering) :3</p>

<p>where on long island are you from? i'm from long island too!
EDIT: I see you posted your school, i'm from sachem lol</p>

12

<p>we've got similar stats i would say, and i think that you have a great shot at wharton, especially with your business oriented EC's.</p>

13

<p>Apply ED and you will have an excellent chance. ED is the key here! Get that Math 2 score as close to an 800 as possible.
Best of luck</p>

14

<p>I wouldn't say "IN", but I say you stand a decent shot, especially with that SAT score. </p>

<p>I say ED if you're sure and not concerned about FD. ED benefits legacy like you the most.</p>

15

<p>I don't know what business schools look for. I've seen many people get in Wharton w/o any sort of business experience, and ppl who've run their own business get rejected. </p>

<p>Scores/grades are awesome. EC's are quite above average. I would say a decent chance in wharton, it would be kinda a low-reach.</p>

16

<p>hey thanks for all the advice.</p>
