Can I get into Wharton?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I'm a high school senior and I applied early to Wharton.</p>

<p>I have a 4.87/5 GPA. I've gotten two B's in high school, one in AP english junior year the other in Algebra 2 sophmore year. This year for the first quarter I got A's in all classes (AP Lit, AB Calc, AP Stat, AP Gov, AP Spanish, Honors Philosophy). </p>

<p>2240 SAT's. 800 writing, 750 reading, 690 math.</p>

<p>Both parents went to Penn.</p>

<p>I started my own food blog three years ago and it has grown to relative popularity 400-600 views/day. </p>

<p>For four years for 8 hours a day on Sundays I've apprenticed at a 4 star restaurant in Philadelphia.</p>

<p>I run my own small business on the side, cooking dinner parties and catering events.</p>

<p>I'm the business manager for my school newspaper.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in?</p>

<p>I’d say you have pretty good chances besides your SAT Math score :confused:
What about your subject test scores? Are you applying ED?</p>

<p>sat subjects: Spanish 690. math1 730. chemistry 710. us history 750</p>

<p>I am applying early decision</p>

<p>Double legacy. You’re in.</p>

<p>^I don’t know 690 is really really low for Wharton… if that was a 700 I’d be much more comfortable but a 690 makes it not an auto-in… not impossible but I’m actually going to have to go with significant reach…</p>

<p>will the 730 on math 1 help with that at all</p>

7

<p>You sound like a freaking ■■■■■. Double legacy to ANY school = basically getting in.</p>

8

<p>yeah, chances are pretty high due to hook~</p>

<p>otherwise stats are fine but kinda mixed feelings about the ec’s. Could be meaningful if expounded upon well but otherwise may not have much weight.</p>

<p>Only about 35%-40% of legacies are admitted to Penn; so I would not consider you a shoe-in. Granted, you are a double legacy, so your chances are higher. Your business related EC’s will help, but as other posters stated, a 690 on SAT Math (especially for Wharton) will not look especially good. However, I would say you have a very strong chance of admittance, even with your low Math score.</p>
