<p>I’m heading down a similar path as you (although I’m yet a sophomore). My GPA isn’t looking as good as yours right now (UW), but, all of your ECs roughly match all of mine (incl. research, etc.). And, I’m a few years ahead in math, but, overall, I think it is very similar.</p>

<p>I’m thinking that MIT would also be a good option for you - any reason why you’re not considering it?</p>

<p>Overall, I think each of the four colleges mentioned are low-mid reaches</p>

<p>wow you’re fantastic. i could quite honestly see you getting in to any school you wanted. of course hyp and wharton are crapshoots but you have such great chances. i envy you!</p>

<p>i’d have to agree that you should apply to mit! you really stand out as a female who is excellent in the sciences.</p>

<p>Agree you are fantastic, I am not so sure for Wharton.
Let me explain, You have great Stats, and you want Wharton, can you point out one EC you have, that is buisiness oriented or related .
I think your chance of getting into IVY is high but Wharton, I am not sure.
Having said that this year looking around early acceptances, I think you are competetive anywhere.</p>

<p>^I think being captain of so many teams demonstrates enough leadership strength for Wharton. Good luck!</p>
