Are there any chances of me getting into UOC or UPenn (Wharton)?

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>I'm just asking for an opinion from the community here on college confidential on my chances of getting into University of Chicago or UPenn(Wharton). I am currently a junior in high school (first semester), enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at the school i'm attending. I currently have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and about a 4.5-4.6 weighted GPA (hopefully not going down). I've taken a few practice SAT's and have gotten in about the 2000's range(I'm not that great at multiple-choice test-taking), but I haven't taken the full-fledged SAT yet, so i'm still preparing. Through more practice tests, I've gotten around the 750's on both the Chemistry Subject test and the U.S. History Subject test, but again, I still haven't taken the full-fledged test, yet. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>University of Chicago: Is there any chance of me getting in? I'm a bit scared i'll get a B in AP Calc this semester (it's killing me), but hopefully, if I get a 5 on the AP test, that'll change my grade back to an A (but that's not something to rely upon). If, perhaps, I do get a B in AP Calc, how much will that bring down my unweighted GPA and will it lower my chances of getting into University of Chicago?</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn (Wharton): Honestly, I have no interest in the business sector, but my brother goes to Wharton and is graduating this year, so i'm going to apply for the heck of it. Would I be considered legacy, even if i'm just his sister? Is there any chance of me getting in?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Don’t apply to a school if you don’t want to go there. One B won’t kill you or UChicago, but do bring your test scores up. What are your ECs/leadership roles?</p>

<p>I’ve played piano for seven years, danced for eight, played soccer for about six. I’m currently the leader of a winning 5th at states (first time) National History Day team and is currently looking towards(well trying to) become the president of our National Moot Court team/club, ranked overall #2 high school at the “We The Students” National High School Moot Court Competition located in Washington, D.C… That’s about it for now.</p>

<p>I take my word back, I have interest in business now, after I have seriously thought it over.</p>

<p>2000s is too low for Wharton, need around 2200-2300</p>

<p>With witty, unique essays, UChicago is within reach for most applicants who have good enough academic stats. I would work on getting your SAT 1 up for Wharton, and it wouldn’t hurt for UChicago. Wharton seems like a reach, and UChicago is more like a low reach. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Chance back please!</p>

<p>to get into wharton, showing an interest in business/finance/econ/leadership/etc. is as important as having good scores</p>

<p>Yea, I’m applying to the Wharton LEAD summer program (most likely) to understand it more.</p>
