<p>Keep stacking up on ECs and Community service. Academic-wise you’re already on the right track, especially with those 10 you’re taking soon. I’d say you got a good chance.</p>

<p>I’m also applying to Penn but to the engineering school, can you chance me?</p>

<p>It’s tough,Wharton is almost separate from Penn and it’s not impressive for a Chinese origin
student.Good luck!</p>
