<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>
