<p>Hello, </p>

Sci., AP Stats, AP Econ, Mathematical Modeling( It's an independent research class based around math), Honors College Prep and Varsity Physical Education. I've taken the highest classes available to me aside from English (I'm dropping from AP to Honors). </p>

-On and off head sound engineer for Vocal Jazz Program ( Been involved 2 years)

<p>At the state level for DECA, I place top ten for finance( It was my first year), and I also placed top ten for a Learn and Earn Project. </p>

<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>If only you’re unweighted GPA was higher, I’d say you’d have excellent chances of getting in. As a hispanic that’s also playing sports, you represent the diversity Wharton is looking for. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how much harm a 3.59 might do, do you have any C’s?</p>

<p>I don’t have any c’s. I got only 2 a’s sophomore year and that’s why. Last year I only got one B so I’m hoping that the turn around will help me out.</p>

<p>^The upward trend will definitely be a positive. I hate to be pessimistic, but I’m still not really liking your chances with that GPA. Thankfully, everything else seems to be solid so you’ll just have to apply and see like everyone else.</p>

<p>I think your ECs are excellent, however, your GPA would probably be the biggest thing.
And I don’t get why you are not taking the SAT. I think a high SAT score will make your chance higher.</p>
