<p>Your GPA is definitely good, although I think you could’ve taken more APs if your school would’ve allowed you to. Your ECs are decent, although boring. I think your ACT score is the weakest part of your application. UPenn is a really hard school to get in, but I think you have decent chances. Cheers.</p>

<p>ED? I think you missed the deadline.</p>

<p>ED deadline for Penn was Nov. 1, so that’s come and passed (unless you’re a junior). You’re applying to Wharton which is an extremely difficult to get into school. While your GPA seems perfect, you make no mention of your rank, and your schedule doesn’t look as rigorous as most peoples do. Your ECs are boring (unless you expand on the bank), and you seem to have no leadership positions at all. Your SAT and ACT are also subpar for the school. A lot depends on your essays and recs, but I have to say your ethnicity hurts you.</p>

<p>I’m sorry to bring bad news, but the chances to get into Wharton are really low since it is a very high reach. Try applying to some other business schools (Penn and Cornell are the only Ivies that offer business undergrad anyways).</p>
