@ShaunakK98, You’re a remarkably well rounded applicant. However, when you are looking at HYP or any University along those lines, they are looking for individuals driven by genuine zeal, instead of somone with a blatant desire to do everything in their power to spruce up their resume. You’ll probaby be accpted to Cornell, Duke, Ucla, Northwestern and Michigan. (And most of the other colleges) But chances of you getting into harvard, yale, Penn or stanford are very low because I dont seen anything that truly stands out in your application. Your credentials are similar to basically most of the Indian students’ who apply to elite universities.
PS: I dont think you’ll get into UPenn because Wharton, as you know, is extremely competitive. If you had applied to any of the other majors in Penn, I wager it would’ve been a relative cakewalk. Don’t lose hope. These are very unpredictable and, dont let college confidential comments get to your head.
@rahuilmars231 Thanks for chancing! Actually in all my essays and in my additional information section, I have highlighted my passion for business and entrepreneurship in various ways so I think I’m fine there Thanks!
Have you also applied to Penn’s College of Arts and Sciences?
@NerdyChica No, I applied to the M&T Program and Wharton
@CaliCash Nope. All my decisions will come by March end

GOT INTO UC BERKELEY!!!
@ShaunakK98 I am not going to chance you or anything, I just wanna say that you have an amazing profile and seems like you’ve worked your ass of for building it. Best of luck for your future decisions! Also, How did berkeley admit you so early? I thought they had there results out by march end?
@Rahulbarcafan Thank you so much!!
Berkeley recently announced that they will be releasing 2000 acceptances (Acceptance rate <3%) on Feb 12. These 2000 are their ‘best’ applicants, who they really want to attend, so I think it’s a yield strategy
