<p>Hey Everyone,</p>

<p>I am extremely interested in applying to Penn early decision next year and was curious about the "ideal" SAT score and GPA that an accepted applicant would carry.</p>

<p>Chance Me?</p>

<p>My high school's GPA is Graded on a weighed 5.0 scale and does not give any brownie points for subjects like gym, culinary etc. Only Academic subjects are scored. My high school is also a gold medal high school, ranking around 250 in the nation out of 21,000 High schools.</p>

<p>Freshman Year: I had a lack of care in middle school which resulted in my enrollment in B level classes.
GPA- 3.33 (straight A-'s)</p>

<p>Sophomore year: All Honors level courses. Sophomore difficulty rank- 10/10
GPA-4 .6 (Top of class)</p>

<p>Junior Year: 4 AP's 2 Honors. Junior Difficulty Rank- 10/10
GPA- 4.81 (Top of Class)</p>

<p>I am expecting the same thing for my senior year.</p>

<p>After acquiring straight A-'s in low level my Freshman year, I took a risk of moving into all honors classes which resulted in all A+'s. My Junior year I took 4 AP's and 2 Honors classes, agin receiving all A+'s. Since colleges like to see vast improvement over the course of your HS career, I'm hoping the low level classes during my freshman year will be to benefit, as I received all A+'s in high level throughout the rest of my career.</p>

<p>SAT:
-2250 </p>

<p>My extra curricular were pretty much all business related in some way:</p>

<p>-Future Business Leaders of America (President)
-Amnesty International (President)
-Founder and President of a charitable club I started.
-Popular singer on youtube.
-Taken camps at Penn</p>

<p>I have major connections to Penn through my father. My dad is an extremely successful entrepreneur who created one of the most successful record companies of all time. He had artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Iron Maiden and many more. He will definitely donate money to Penn.</p>

<p>I have received numerous academic awards in each subject that i do not feel like listing right now. haha</p>

<p>I am Male, 1/2 indian and have traveled to numerous every continent except for Oceania and Antarctica.</p>

<p>Business is something I am extremely passionate about and would llove to work with my father one day. I truly believe I will have a top notch essay for various reasons. Back in my earlier years (elementary school through the beginning of sophomore year) I had diagnosed anxiety in which I was highly medicated for. I was also diagnosed with a disease called Trichiliamania (not sure of spelling) which is when an individual pulls there air out due to stress and anxiety. I will not explain any more, as there I could write a novel of how much distress this caused me.</p>

<p>How are my chances?</p>

<p>Thank You for your time, Guys! :)</p>

<p>There aren’t really any statistics for just Wharton alone, just for the University as a whole. Higher is obviously better, but I can tell you that your score is definitely good enough. Penn also requires two SATII scores, so make sure to study for those and do well on them. Also, I believe Wharton recommends taking the Math II subject test, so you might want to take that one.</p>

<p>I remember being told by an admissions counselor at Wharton that the average score was about 2200, so you are perfectly fine and should not worry about scores anymore.</p>

<p>The average for the class of 2017 is a 2198. I don’t think there is much difference between the schools. And why is only Penn treated like several different colleges unlike any other college?</p>

<p>^Because you have to apply to a specific school instead of the University as a whole. The schools are so different in what they are geared towards and what kinds of students apply so the stats for each are different, or I would think they are.</p>
