<p>If you’re willing to do whatever it takes, first go rob a bank. Then donate half the money to Penn. Then apply. Then donate the other half.</p>

<p>Seriously, no need to post two threads. </p>

<p>Being an arse out of the way, you seem to have a fairly standard application. Nothing stands out too much but you’re not in bad shape either. I question whether all the business courses will make your courseload the most rigorous possible though. At the high school level, these courses tend to lag behind in difficulty.</p>

<p>Your school rank is good but at the same time I don’t see all too much focus here. It makes you seem like a very active but not necessarily a very driven individual. Try to flesh out what you really like more in your essays.</p>

<p>Why do you want to go to Wharton? Many people do but what makes you special?</p>
