<p>Pretty solid scores. You just need another SAT2 then you are pretty much set. How about your GPA?
The only disadvantage you have is being an Asian male. You do have above average chances for these schools. Give them a try and good luck to you. Make sure you add a couple matches and safety to the list.</p>

<p>All of these schools except NYU are reaches, with NW prolly being a lower reach. I’d expect you to get into ~3 of the reaches. </p>

<p>I have a 4.0 uw GPA. My school doesn’t do weighted GPA. I will be taking the SAT II US history and Biology most likely, but not sure.</p>

<p>Is there anything I could work on to get into UPenn Wharton ED? That is my dream school. I will attending the West Point SLE, FBLA Nats, a couple FEE Economic seminars, and the FTE Lecture. </p>
