Chance Me for UPenn!

<p>Hi there! I am currently a 9th grader and hope to be attending Wharton as an undergrad in 4 years. If you are a student at UPenn or have some knowledge about applying, please share! I am simply curious to know what my future application lacks and if I have a strong chance of acceptance. </p>

<p>Here are my stats:
4.0 GPA (this I obviously plan to maintain and will be taking mostly APs in the next few years)
Have begun studying for SAT with a goal of 2200</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
• My main passion is community service. I went to Haiti last year and have begun to develop a project from that experience. I have begun learning Haitian Creole and plan to have a picture book published in Creole by senior year. I have a strong love of literature and writing. Because books are such a rarity in Haiti, especially the mountainous villages, I would like to create a program with the organization I work with that allows children to have books (hopefully the one I publish).
• I also have created a community service club at my school.
• I sing in the nationally ranked choir in my school.
• I am a member of the school newspaper and have a goal of becoming EIC in the next few years.
• In addition to newspaper, I have a small column in the local newspaper and have begun writing for a literary journal.
• I also am a member of the Spanish Club.
• Run a website for teenagers.
• I have also won an essay contest and will enter more in the future.
• Member of the Model UN
• Tutor children after school
• Plan to join NHS
• I would also like to take part in the University of Pennsylvania Leadership in the Business World summer program and have a business internship in the future.</p>

<p>Please let me know what you think! Thank you.</p>

<p>You have a decent chance if you can keep the 4.0 (unweighted I assume) and get 2200+ on the SAT. From my understanding, Wharton is looking for future business leaders and entrepreneurs. You should probably try to position yourself that way by undertaking some business ventures and find success there. Your extracurricular activities look pretty good, but again, it doesn’t convey what Wharton is looking for.</p>
