<p>If Penn is your first choice go ED. At least for CAS, ED is really good, but it’s not bad for wharton either. But either way, it doesn’t look like you have much of a chance being class rank 26. Only people at or very close to top get into schools like Wharton or any ivies for that matter.</p>

<p>^ I disagree about the rank. If people can take bs classes and get straight A’s and be ranked ahead of someone with AP’s and a B, that is ridiculous and can be explained in a school report or just anywhere on an app. I really don’t know about your chances though. Penn is getting harder every year, but good luck.</p>

<p>I also disagree about the rank. My school doesn’t rank by weighted GPA so many of the top-ranked students are taking the easy classes.</p>
