<p>Planning on majoring in Econ or Business.
GPA: 3.977 unweighted
4.4 weighted (my school doesn't weigh, but I ranked honors & AP anyways)
Top 1% of class</p>
<p>ACT: 31 (32 Superscored)</p>
<p>Subject Tests:
SAT II Math II: 690 (retaking)
SAT II Physics: 670
SAT II US History: 770
Also have 4.0 at a local community college (Macro Econ in the summer)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: VP of Rambassadors Leadership Club, Assistant VP of DECA, Gallery Interpreter/Volunteer at WA State History Museum (200+ hrs), Windshield Repair Technician and Hiring Assistant @ Microchip Autoglass, Coding a Forex trading Program for automated trades, Assistant at Father's Wine Distribution Company in China (translating emails, also helping him to expand to US by obtaining wine distribution licenses & talking with local shipping executives) </p>
<p>I want to apply to Wharton, but maybe my chances would be better if I applied to Arts and Sciences for Econ. What do you think?</p>
<p>shaheirunderdog, that’s a very harsh comment to make when you really have very little information about this person other than a very brief descriptive outline. Although their ACT, physics, and math scores are lower than usual (U.S. History is actually very good) you have absolutely no authority to tell this person they have “almost no chance”, especially since you do not know specifically of their school and of other factors. In fact I know at least one girl with an ACT score lower than Weenzz93 who goes to Penn, there are probably many others but it’s hard to know since no one really cares or talks about their test scores anymore.
My advice to Weenzz93 would be to apply and see what happens. I’m sure people like you have been accepted before, but it’s very hard to predict what will happen. And in the end it doesn’t matter. Whether people tell you that you have a 60% or 10% chance of getting in becomes irrelevant after you receive your decision.</p>
<p>You have a 50/50 chance LOL. I know a student who got in with those scores…they view all the info about you, not just scores. Write some great essays, have some great letters of rec., and let the chips fall where they may. Relax.</p>
<p>@Weenzz93: Test scores are a little low but you’ve still got a shot. Have you won any awards with DECA? I wouldn’t mention your involvement with your dad’s company as it will seem like you wanted a job for college apps and your parents gave you one. Remember, colleges don’t like seeing you work for your parents or family friends–getting a real job with an unknown employer (at least, someone that you don’t know prior to working for them) is more valid.</p>
<p>@ hardworking:
I am also employed at another business as a hiring assistant just as a heads up, thanks for all the help guys! And how can I increase my chances? I will be re-taking math level 2, should I shoot for a higher ACT? And if so by how much?</p>
<p>Seeing how Wharton tends to be extremely competitive,and Business oriented, you would have an excellent chance at CAS-and their admission rate at 33 percent stands wayyyy higher than whartons at 20 percent i think.</p>
