Chance me

<p>i already posted this in a different thread, but did so without really knowing how these forums work (ie when/where such posts are acceptable). but anyways:</p>

<p>3.7 UW, no idea what the weighted is bc my school won't tell us but i've taken a crapload of Honors (10 or so) and APs (5 last year, 4 - stats, eng lit, BC calc, physics - this year)
2170 SAT (680 C, 800 M, 690 W), 35 ACT
790 Math II, 760 Bio, 730 Chem
5's on AB Calc and Bio, 4's on Chem, Eng Lang,
Ranked JUST outside top 5% of my 300+ person class (literally...im the first person outside of it. so top 5.2%).</p>

<p>decent leadership: 2 time editor for CSPA Gold Medal paper (including key part in launching of website), drum major of NE Champion marching band
lot of EC's: marching band, jazz band, school paper, crew (have talked to penn's Light Weight and Heavy Weight coaches about coxing, both were receptive and LW coach later sent an email thanking me for applying and to keep them posted on decision. will that factor?), track, tutor for Spanish honor society. (almost all of those are either 3 or 4 years)</p>

<p>NMSF, a few statewide journalism awards, AP w/ distinction (even though thats worth basically nothing)</p>

<p>what do you think my chances at wharton (and jerome fisher) are looking like? i think both are definite reaches, so you won't need to spare my feelings.</p>

<p>Your GPA will strongly hinder your chances, but everything else looks pretty good. Are you doing ED or RD?</p>

<p>ED. and yeah, that’s what i’ve been thinking too…just wasn’t sure how much the UW would hold me back because im guessing my W is pretty good.
thanks man</p>

<p>perfect, must get it if you have a good essay</p>

<p>OP said jerome fisher with wharton as back up. I think its going to be a stretch, but its possible</p>

<p>^^ yeah, fisher with wharton ED back up. i don’t really think i’ll get into fisher (or Wharton for that matter!) but hey, no harm in applying.</p>
