I know my grades are way low for this school, but I was hoping that my ECs and collaboration might set me apart. Any input? Feel free to be 100 percent honest..I can take it :) thanks!</p>
<p>oh and I am also an AP Scholar With Distinction - not sure if this helps at all but there it is :)</p>
<p>And I am in the top 5% of my class(don’t know the exact ranking) and have a 31 ACT.
Sorry - this is the last update I promise.</p>
<p>SAT is fine, but SAT II is a little low. They won’t care too much about not being able to take them again since they want all scores anyways. While you do have a list of ECs, it seems like a laundry list than anything focused on a major, especially business at Wharton. We need your unweighted GPA to give a fair assessment.</p>
<p>While your ECs are good, I don’t see them standing out at Wharton, but they are definitely not unimpressive. </p>
<p>If this helps you feel better, most ivy leagers applied to Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and Stanford SCEA, not Penn. Thus, Penn should have a relatively easier applicant pool compared to these other schools early.</p>
<p>At this point, sit back and wait. I would put you at 20% max so I definitely recommend that you start looking for backups.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you! Yes - my backups are Carnegie and Cornell, (well, not exactly backups, but my next 2 top choices), and I’m also looking at some state schools. My GPA (unweighted) is probably around 94.7 to 95.</p>
<p>I didn’t exactly understand what you meant by them not caring about me taking it again - could you please explain? Sorry!</p>
