You’re missing presidency or major leadership in any club and your APs show a lack in scientific skills, what do you plan on majoring in? Also you seem to be lacking in a ‘passion’ in your extra curriculars, colleges seem to view that as resume-packing and not caring. You should take a third SAT II and see how you do. Either way, stellar ACT and GPA, but plenty of people have higher AND substantial ECs…where are you from? I recommend applying to CAS, not Wharton.

@Plz2Halp
Could you elaborate more on the scientific skills? Do you mean the scores or the classes I’ve taken in general. I know my ECs aren’t much. Honestly I did a lot of partying and stuff in high school and didn’t think too much about extracurriculars until last year. I was planning on majoring in economics or finance.

If you don’t get in Wharton, you qualified for a full tuition scholarship to Temple’s business honors program, based on your ACT ,gpa score … :slight_smile:
To be honest the CP English is worrisome, why not honors with your high ACT score? Be prepared I’m guessing they will ask you that in the interview… You are obviously super smart and ethnicity helps… Its all a numbers game and that 800 in Math 2 is super strong

@runswimyoga I got kicked out of AP lit :confused:
