You could get into Wharton or U Chicago, but generally people that I have heard that have gotten in have had higher Gpas. All that you have listed are definitely feasible though.
My GPA might appear lower than some other students because my school doesn’t weight Honors classes but I don’t know how much that affects my chances. Thank You for the response!
@StanManYeah Yes both schools are extremely competitive to get into, but in my opinion, the student has a better shot at duke than at Uchicago. This whole site is full of opinions. IF you don’t agree with something that’s fine. Tons of people don’t know what their saying.
@SternBusiness But you in particular don’t know what you’re talking about. There are facts and there are opinions. This is a matter of fact and any school with a <11% acceptance rate isn’t a match for anyone that isn’t Sasha or Malia Obama.
@Jwest22 and @SternBusiness No need to argue over something as trivial as this, If you guys just don’t agree with something, just say it in a respectful manner, no need to challenge someone’s knowledge.
Hi, I don’t know any of you except @legaleagle1 and this is a REALLY old thread. However, I did get into Penn Huntsman ED. I don’t know how @collegemom3717 knows that… Just wanted to say something in order to bring some validity into this conversation.
@JasmineArmani I’m sorry, whats your point? What does this have to do with AA? Malia and Sasha probably has a leg up more so because their dad is POTUS (just like Chelsea Clinton did for Stanford) than because they’re AA. Not saying they don’t have the stats to get in but being the POTUS daughter is an extreme advantage.
