<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Sorry for contributing to the already existing hoard of chance threads. This is my first one, so I should be forgiven. :)</p>
<p>Like the title says, I am a hopeful Wharton applicant. I will be applying this year and will definitely be EDing.

It would be my wildest dream come true if I am admitted. So, here it goes.</p>

<p>Weakness: NO LEGACY (Lol, I'm sorry) I don't play sports because I have a medical condition that causes me to pass out. I am really nervous that it is going to hurt me. Also, my resume seems very science oriented (which it is). It is because I used to want to be a doctor until I realized that that was what my mom wanted me to do. My real passion is using business skills to help the health care industry. </p>
<p>I wrote my essay about how I want to use business as a tool to help manage the orphan health care industries. </p>
<p>Thank you everyone who takes the time to read this. Your inputs will be extremely valuable to me. I can't express enough how much I love Penn. Lol, I think I'll probably die of anxiety before the decisions come out. Good luck to anyone else applying!</p>
