<p>Hi everyone. I'm a junior at an elite private school, and I'm planning to apply ED to Wharton. I'm specifically interested in the dual-degree Jerome Fisher M&T Program but my second choice is Wharton. My school has around a 30%+ acceptance rate to Ivies (plus Stanford & MIT). I'm especially concerned that I'm not doing enough business and engineering related extracurriculars (since I want to apply to the M&T program). </p>

<p>This year, I also got involved with an initiative at school to raise money and create fundraisers for a school in Nairobi, Kenya (I lived there for 4 years). I'm the only one in my grade involved in this. The Interschool Leadership Fellows Program in which I'm involved in also requires me to complete a project my senior year that will link my school to its community, sort of like a civic engagement/community service project. I'm planning to create a program allowing middle school girls to try out different musical instruments; they would be able to rent instruments and would receive free lessons from students. Finally, I'm also involved in a group called the Museum Teen Summit. It's a group of teens who work at museums around the city who are trying to get more high schoolers involved in museum programs and events; we also consult teen programmers in museums to help them improve their programs.</p>
