Chance me - Stanford, Wharton, Cornell, UCB, NYU (Stern)

Chance Me / Match Me!
21

<p>In Singapore, guys have to do a mandatory 2-year national service before higher education (yea I know, lame), so that gives me an extra 2 cycles to apply. I’m applying this year for deferred entry in 2011, using, of course, the actual results of the Nov 08 IB exams.</p>

<p>Yea I did get a 45. There were 9 others that got 45/45 in my school though. It’s a pretty competitive school. The average person got 40.1 in the Nov 08 session. Basically anything below 40 would be below the 40th percentile.</p>

22

<p>Based on the good friends I know who went to Stanford or Wharton, Stanford seems to emphasize humanitarian/community service-type ECs whereas Wharton likes internships/entrepreneurship/leadership related activities. </p>

<p>For some strange reason, of the 7 or 8 people I’m referring to, they either got into one or the other, but not both. </p>

<p>SAT did not seem to be a big factor at either school, but I would still retake it if you think you can score higher</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedbacks!</p>

<p>I might be wrong, but my impression is that Wharton is more competitive than Harvard. Am I correct in this belief?</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are great and will definitely set your apart. However, like your said, you definitely need to improve your SAT score.
