1

Please chance me for my three early schools! UPenn Wharton is ED, and MIT Sloan and UChic are EA. As you can probably tell, I’m applying for business, but I’ll take any major in the financial field.

Asian, male, high school in California.

GPA (4/4) (Top 10%)
94.75/100

APs: 5s in Macro/Micro/Psych/Physics 1 - This year, I’m taking Calc BC, Physics AP 2, Euro History AP, English AP and Stats AP. Took French for 4 years.

SAT: 2370/2400 - single score, the second time I took it - 800 math/wr (12 essay), 770 cr
SAT IIs: 800 Math II, 790 Physics

ECs:
Investment (Business) Club President - 5 years, most important extracurricular activity!
Internship with a well-known bank over the summer
Section editor of literary publication - 3 years
State swimmer - school champion team - 5 years
Service Club - chair - 4 years
Business competitions - won regionals - 3 years

Please chance me for my three earlies! Obviously if I get into Wharton I’m bound to go, but I’m also curious what you guys think my chances are for Sloan and UChic as well.

Asian Male from CA

Penn Wharton: Very low chance
MIT: Very low chance
Chicago: Very low chance

You MIGHT get into one of them if you are lucky.
Good luck

@20more is right, asian male from CA has to be the toughest demographic to apply as. Might manage Chicago.

5

Good, but maybe demonstrate your true interest in why UPenn and you might have a shot :slight_smile:

It’s very hard to say. After all, you’ve applied to very tough schools. I think if your SAT score was just 10 higher you would have a better chance. What do you mean when you say you’re a state swimmer? Did you win or contribute anything?

8

That’s oddly specific. Are there any other opinions out there?

^:)^ damn…i’ll die if i had these scores… way to go man ^:)^

If you had good essays for UChicago, you’ll get in. MIT and Wharton are toss-ups for even the brightest students, but I would say that you have an OK chance at getting into at least one of em.

Also applying to MIT but engineering major. I had lower scores but more diverse ecs (if you want to see them and give me an opinion: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1837466-stanford-mit-columbia-what-do-you-think.html#latest ). I think for Wharton if you did something in buisness club (start a buisness/connect kids to internships) it’d be less of a reach. Still, with those scores you have a chance for anything.

I think you have a great chance at UChicago if you spent time on your essays. The school is fantastic and challenging, and the students couldn’t be nicer and not cut throat. Also, there is a high Asian student population with an extremely diverse and welcoming student body. My son is a freshman there and loves it. Everyone is motivated and highly intelligent, and there is plenty to do outside of class to keep busy. There is also a vibrant pre-business/entrepreneurial contingent. It would be a great option if you get in.

Competitive applicant. Impossible to say more. Asian male from CA doesn’t help you, but doing four years of French does help you stand out in your demographic. However your ED/EA schools turn out, you’ll do very well in the admissions process. Best of luck.
