<p>wow you are the president of a lot of clubs…and you’re a URM. Assuming this is not a ■■■■■ post, I would be shocked if you didn’t get into at least one of those two schools. I think you’d be a strong fit for Wharton’s Huntsman program.</p>
<p>You have a definite chance for both programs, due to a combination of strong academics AND extracurriculars. I would say apply to both! Harvard will be free for you (due to your income - your only costs will be the $4600/yr work expectation which you can replace with outside scholarships, which you could probably secure) if you get in. Your application is competitive. Assuming you get good recs and write essays that show off your skills and experiences, then you have a genuine admissions shot.</p>
<p>I have to agree with the above poster. Your resume is astonishing. URM or not you’ve got a great shot. Though of course URM helps you. And just like astonmartin said, I think you’d have a solid shot at Huntsman with a back-up of Wharton if you don’t get into the program. Your FBLA accomplishments are remarkable. I really don’t see how you can’t get accepted into Harvard and Wharton both! Yet I certainly don’t want to raise your hopes too high. The applications to both are crapshoots because they’re so so selective, but I think you’ve got as good a chance as anyone in the nation! Best of luck!</p>
