<p>Chance me for finance/generally business at
UPenn
University of Michigan
NYU
Berkeley
MIT
Harvard
Northwestern
Carnegie Mellon
Duke
UNC</p>
<p>Getting into Wharton is an extreme crapshoot, and so is Harvard, and Sloan. I would say you are in Fuqua and Kellogg, and in at Stern. Good luck!</p>
<p>UPenn - Match but like all Ivies it’s a game of chance
University of Michigan - Match
NYU - Match (should get in no problem)
Berkeley - Match but have good essays and recs
MIT - slight reach
Harvard - slight reach… you have the stats but you want to stand out. try an interview and if you nail it, you may be set
Northwestern - match
Carnegie Mellon - Match
Duke - Match but they love legacys
UNC - match</p>
<p>your in stop freaking, your allowed to freak if your scores are borderline, those aren’t borderline, ill be surprised if you get rejected from one of those. Only possible rejection is MIT bc nothing researchy on your resume</p>
<p>Wharton is not a match for anyone nor is Harvard a slight reach for even a kid with perfect stats. </p>
<p>That said, you are a reasonable candidates for all schools. The one thing that jumps out is the weak writing and essay score. Writing skills are crucial, even for business programs. While I think you’re OK for most of these schools with the current score, it would really help you at Wharton and Harvard to raise it.</p>
<p>that made me laugh a bit, sorry.
Not to be mean, but those schools are almost complete crapshoots for applicants with perfect stats and awesome ECs. I’ll say you have a chance, but really it’s just a dream (that comes true for a lucky few).</p>
<p>grades won’t keep you out. SATs won’t keep you out. ECs are good, but nothing too special. debating is the only really important one it seems. the “UMTYMP” or whatever may be important to you, but doesn’t seem like anything special.</p>
<p>I stand corrected. But so many people have taken college-level math courses or advanced courses in middle school, it hardly make them blink anymore. Good to have, but won’t be a deciding factor by any means.</p>
<p>Omg!! UMTYMP. I have friends that are also in UMTYMP. You probably might know them. And yeah, it’s pretty prestigious. I have a friend that’s a junior taking linear alg/Cal 3 at UMTYMP.</p>
<p>Hi,
I think your scores are incredible. Your AP scores, your sat II’s, everything. SO academically I think you’re fine. But as many have already said, your EC’s are weak (with the exception of the UMTYMP). Try to do things that show that you’re really interested in finance (you showed an interest in it?). Do something that really showcases that interest, and defines your resume by that interest. That’s the way that you can get colleges’ attentions, by doing stuff that really shows passion. Keep up on the good work!</p>
