<p>Sorry, I forgot that I'm a rising senior</p>

3

<p>what school is it and do you mean that the val has a 92 GPA?</p>

<p>"88-89 (92 is highest)"</p>

4

<p>Yes, the val has around 92. </p>

<p>It's a private boarding prep school</p>

5

<p>is it like Andover, Exeter, etc.?</p>

6

<p>yes similar in nature</p>

7

<p>Newark Academy.</p>

<p>Your chances should be pretty good because you go to an elite prep school.</p>

8

<p>no that's not the school i go to, but good try haha</p>

9

<p>Lawrenceville?</p>

<p>I agree with Gaffe, you have good chances.</p>

10

<p>No, Deerfield</p>

11

<p>your SAT scores are not as high as the should be. Especially for a middle class Asian from NJ who attends an Elite Boarding School. </p>

<p>Wharton (ED) REJECT

12

<p>Oh...From New Jersey not actually in New Jersey.</p>

13

<p>well, i did much better on my PSATs (77/80 on CR, 80 on Math), and I'm expecting performance similar to that on my October SAT... do you think that would help</p>

14

<p>^ yeah that tripped me up too...lol.</p>

<p>My only advice is to shoot for 750+ on each section of the SAT and SAT II's.</p>

15

<p>haha sorry about that</p>

16

<p>nice PSAT scores...if you score in that range, you'll be in good shape.</p>

17

<p>Well, I'm guessing your rank is quite high because the valedictorian has a 92 GPA and you have a 88/89 GPA (or your scale could be 0.1 of a point makes a huge difference, I don't know).</p>

<p>Bleh. Elite prep schools are way different from 'normal' public and private high schools.</p>

18

<p>yeah, unfortunately, a lot of students fall into the same range I'm in. the grades are definitely not evenly distributed. (it's a class of around 180 students)</p>
