<p>I'm applying to Penn (mainly huntsman --> wharton) ED, although I'm pretty worried about it because my GPA's pretty low. Hopefully, I'll write some really good essays and (extreme) luck will be on my side. If I don't get into Penn, I'm trying for Columbia, Dartmouth, NYU Stern, UMich, UChicago, Georgetown and UVA.</p>
