Chance me for undergraduate Wharton?

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>This summer I was lucky enough to land an internship at Goldman Sachs and during my time there I have realized that I am extremely interested in finance/business/economics/etc. I live close to Penn and before I visited the campus I was really skeptical about going to college near home. When I visited the campus itself my opinion completely changed and Ive decided that this is the place I want to go for college. Given my interests, obviously Im going to look into Wharton Undergraduate. Ive head all types of rumors about how much harder Wharton is to get into than any of the other colleges within Penn, but can someone give me an answer based on what my credentials are?</p>

<p>Freshmen Year: 3.8 GPA
Sophmore Year: 3.7u 4.1w
Junior Year: 3.75u 4.35w
I have various academic honors (spanish honors society, highest honors, probably something else im forgetting)</p>

<p>SAT: 2230 (750m, 700r, 720w)</p>

<p>ACT: (may take in fall)</p>

<p>SAT II: Math II-730 (definitely taking another in fall)</p>

<p>As far as extracurriculars go, I have joined various clubs and done various community service activities but honestly none of them are worth mentioning. I am a 3 year varsity rower and have been in contact with the penn lightweight coach.</p>

<p>Given the assumption that I do end up getting recruited, what do my chances look like? Should I just not even bother and go straight for the CAS?</p>

<p>I will not address athletics because I don’t know all the implications of coach’s input, recruitment, etc but as far as what I read of your post, you have little to no chance.</p>

<p>Your intro was shallow and cliched, your grades are low and you admitted to not doing anything significant with EC’s. You need to do some serious brainstorming about your essays and make a 4.0 u.w. for 1st semester senior year grades (preferably with full AP schedule). Good luck :/</p>
