Chance an Australian Wharton hopeful?

<p>Hey there -</p>

<p>I'm an Australian citizen hopefully applying to Wharton for 2011 entry.
I recently sat my ACTs and scored as follows:</p>

<p>Composite: 33
Reading: 36
English: 36
Science: 32
Maths: 27 (mainly because the curriculum taught in Australia does not cover a lot of the ACT content)
Essay: 11</p>

<p>Would you regard this as competitive enough for somewhere like Wharton?</p>

<p>(I know my maths score is horrible - I'm actually ranked 1st at a super competitive school for maths in Australia - my score is mainly because the curriculum covers totally different material! I'm hoping to sit a Maths Level 2 SAT II to counteract this score, but regardless, do you think they'll hate this ACT so much regardless of my school record in maths?)</p>

<p>To contextualise other aspects of my application: -</p>

<ul>
<li>Will graduate in the top 1% of my state (1st in several subjects at an extremely competitive girls' school)</li>
<li>State Champion/National finalist Model UN Security Council</li>
<li>National Finalist Moden UN General Assembly</li>
<li>Published article in the National Times on British/Australian politics</li>
<li>Work experience at a record label; have also been professionally hired to produce a music video for EMI Records (not out of connections or anything sneaky like that)</li>
<li>Have been to two summer camps in the US in 2008 and 2009 (one being at Yale)</li>
<li>Deputy Head Prefect</li>
<li>Executive Director of Marketing in a student-run business program (we recorded a return on investment for shareholders)</li>
<li>Varsity Soccer and Indoor Soccer</li>
<li>Volunteer hours (surf lifesaving)</li>
</ul>

<p>Am I competitive? (Being in Oz, I don't have a great idea of the other sorts of kids who apply!)</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>Actually also to note - I’m also thinking of applying to COAS for PPE. Might make maths less of an issue and builds upon my political interests.</p>

<p>If you are good at math, then just study the math material that is specific to the ACT test and rock the test the second time around…then there will be no issue. If you wanna go to Wharton, apply to it.</p>

<p>1) Purchase a good ACT prep book.
2) Study and practice until your math score rivals your higher scores.
3) Retake the test, duh.
4) ???
5) PROFIT!!!</p>
