<p>I’d say you are a good match for the college
You might be a strong candidate for Wharton if you have more ECs, especially business- related</p>

<p>definitely a fantastic chance for the college but wharton will be a crap shoot. i think everyone is going to say that the EC’s are going to hold you back. but if your essays turn out amazing and since your scores are great you just might want to give it a shot =)</p>

<p>thank you for the advice!</p>

<p>i have a few more ECs but they’re not necessarily business related or significant (the ones that take up most of my time are listed)</p>

<p>my dream would be a life sciences + management program they offer, but it’s highly selective so i don’t really think i stand much of a chance there.</p>

<p>yeah penns dual degrees are incredibly competitive. im not trying to put you down but getting in those is hard! but as a said, i wouldnt count you out completely of wharton. it will be hard, but if its your dream go for it!</p>
