<p>His schools:</p>

<p>Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
MIT
Penn-Wharton Jerome Fisher (Wharton backup)
Columbia
UChicago
Dartmouth
Duke
UVA
CMU
Ga Tech
UF
Miami</p>

<p>He's interested in engineering and finance, namely investment banking, as possible career options. He's considering applying to Jerome Fisher @ Wharton ED or Princeton SCEA.</p>

<p>Is this a joke?
Of course he will get in, unless he is a vampire or a zombie.</p>

<p>I also just got admitted to Wharton ED and will be matriculating this fall. Does legacy include siblings? Or does it only count if your parents went?</p>

<p>I think Jerome Fisher M&T and MIT might be more difficult than many of the other schools listed, partially due to the lack of business/engineering extra-curriculars. I think a liberal arts platform like Princeton’s might suit him better, regardless of what he eventually wants to do, based on what his application might look like. It will probably all come down to essays - GPA and test scores are of course excellent, EC’s do the job, what you write will likely be the tiebreaker</p>

<p>Are you sure UChicago would be a high match? Isn’t their acceptance rate ~8-9% or so? Also, if he applies to Penn SEAS or CAS, does it become a whole lot easier?</p>
