<p>I'm a Pakistani Male</p>

<p>GPA (Weakest part of application by far): 3.8 UW, 4.4 W. Top 8% of my class.
I've taken about 10 advanced classes thus far. Weakest because I screwed up Sophomore year, got 2 B+'s in Chem Honors and a B+ in Precalc Honors (extremely worried about this) (as well as a B+ in WHAP first semester and Spanish second semester.) Straight A's Junior Year though.
School: Extremely competitive. Regarded as the best in my county if not region.</p>

<p>SAT: (First Take) 800 CR, 770 M, 720 WR. (Second Take) 770 CR, 800 M, 800 Wr.
SAT II's: English 800, Math II 800.
National Merit Semifinalist (Expecting Finalist)</p>

<p>AP Tests: 4 on WHAP/Chem (Both Soph), 5 on Calc AB/Micro/Macro/English Lit/Physics B.</p>

<p>EC's
Volunteer Work (probably my strongest): Over 150 hours. Tutoring kids at a specific program - 70 hours, Helping at a Shelter with Kids - 60 hours, Miscellaneous, 50+ hours. I'll have over 300 done by the end of the school year and since the beginning of junior year have been volunteering over 5 hours each week and have attended multiple school opportunities to work with the needy.
Debate team 4 years, current Varsity Public Forum Captain. Went to State and semifinaled last year, went to Nationals and Octofinaled.
ASB 4 years, current treasurer.
Graphic Designer Doing Independent Work (for payment occasionally): 4 Years</p>

<p>Summers
After Sophomore Year: Worked as a business marketer/designer for a startup company
After Junior Year: Leadership in the Business World at Whartons.</p>

<p>Interview
Went very very well.</p>

<p>Essay
Extremely, extremely good. Had my brother (who got into Wharton but chose not to go) help me as well as one of my teachers (who DID attend Wharton.)</p>

<p>Recs
Excellent. One from an English teacher who graduated from Princeton who asked to give me a recommendation and one from a Math Teacher who asked me to TA for her (both some of the best teachers at my school)</p>

<p>Can you chance me guys? I'm really worried about my lack of solid extracurrics and my not great GPA.</p>

<p>Haha pretty impressive school you got there with teachers from Wharton and Princeton. Unfortunately I think you will have some difficultly getting in due to your rank/GPA. BUT if you’re essays are as good as you say they are, you stand a good chance. Essays matter a lot.</p>

<p>Thanks! My essay seemed to be amazing according to my college counselor, but I guess you never know for sure. What do people think of LBW in terms of Whartons? That actually sparked my interest in Wharton’s (I was originally planning applying ED to Georgetown) and I hear it helps a bit from fellow students there. My counselor says that it’ll help a lot in probably tipping me over if Wharton is on the fence about me, but I’m not sure. Thoughts?</p>
