<p>Essays</p>
<p>Essays are good and show a genuine interest in business. </p>
<p>THANK YOU</p>
<p>As you said, your GPA is your weakest part, but everything else is good. You have a good shot, although with schools like this it is impossible to guarantee anything. Work really hard on your essays.</p>
<p>Looks good to me with the dedicated ECs; my read of last year's ED results on this Board was that those with 2200+ SATs who were rejected outright seemed to have only top 10% class ranks- so that is your risk but you seem to have improved the intangibles with the ECs.</p>
<p>Did you work part-time during the school year? If so, that's impressive. Make sure to highlight it.</p>
<p>Be careful about your essay; I've read many distasteful essays about applicants' "genuine interest in business".</p>
<p>i agree, your main weakness is the GPA. make sure your guidance counselor emphasizes how hard your schedule is and the difficulty of your classes (honors/ap, advanced math etc.). other than that your chances will 80% DEPEND on how good your essay is. dyniets is right, you need to make sure your essays don't sound trite.</p>
<p>And which high school do you go to? PM me, I'm from around the area.</p>
<p>Would anyone be able to tell me my chances at getting into Upenn Wharton. I really want to get in to study actuarial science. It is a very small field and I hope that can count as somewhat of a hook.</p>
