<p>or for Yale, Stanford, and Harvard, for that matter?</p>
<p>I have fairly good IB grades and SAT scores (higher than the mean/median for these colleges), I imagine my teacher recommendations should be great if not exceptional, and I think I can write pretty personal and engaging application essays.</p>
<p>My problem is, however, that I don't have tons of ECs and leadership positions that many other candidates will have. Sure, I have MUN, Princeton University Language Project (translation work for charities), global issues group, cross-country, badminton, piano, and have done some volunteering, and have gone to a couple of summer programs. I also did an internship at a law firm last summer. But all these are nothing spectacular, and I'm not president or chairlady of any club or captain of sports team. </p>
<p>Should I still attempt Wharton or any of the schools mentioned above?</p>
