Oh, I also have a part time job as a Production Associate at Panera Bread (20-30 hours per week). I am training to be a Trainer’s Associate to train other employees.

I think you have a good shot, but you might need to take another standardized test adn explain your company better.

Iffy. Don’t waste your ED card on Wharton based on what you have said here unless you have a hook or are an URM. If you are Asian forget it. If you don’t make it at Wharton during the ED round you will find your chances during RD round at other schools very diminished.

You would be taking a big risk. Rest is up to you.

Do you have any hooks? Hopefully you are at least from an under represented state? What kind of business mentorship did you have/ how has it inspired you to do xxx in your life/ why marketing for a painting company/what are your specific business interests - are all things you might want to focus highlighting in your application…

IMO, you need to take the SAT again (unless you have already taken it several times and this was your best) don’t take it more than 3 times- as you have to submit all scores and more than 3 looks excessive. Good Luck!
