<p>You’ll get in to wharton since your mom works at UPenn and you are ED.</p>

4

<p>Hah, I’m really hoping so. If I don’t get in ED I’ll be upset for a while.</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

5

<p>Don’t worry. kids who are linked to UPENN, get into UPENN. Don’t worry. you will get ED no matter what it’s a 99.9999999/0.0000001</p>

6

<p>Say what if I got rejected by Wharton, since I know an Asian kid who had even better stats than me and got deferred. How would I match up for the rest of my list?</p>

<p>bump.</p>

<p>Rejected from UPenn, I’m still sad.</p>

<p>I can’t believe I forgot to add these - I attended a summer business camp at Drexel University this year. And I had joined drumline last year, played marimba… new chances?</p>

10

<p>Chicago: Low reach/ Match
NYU Stern: Match
Michigan Ross: Match
Georgetown: Low Reach/Match
Virginia: Low Reach/Match
UNC: Match
Columbia: Reach
Cornell: Reach</p>

<p>Your stats look solid, so perhaps you were rejected from Wharton due to lack of business focus in your ECs. The thread title is great and funny, but I sincerely hope you represented more intrinsic motives for a business education in your essays. If so, you should have a decent shot at Cornell, they will certainly value your musical talents.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
