<p>Oh and please consider me for Brown.</p>

3

<p>You have as good of a shot as anyone I have seen. Your in at UCB.</p>

4

<p>Any one of the five service academies. USNA might be the best fit there very good econ and math programs.</p>

5

<p>Thanks LFWB dad, I'll look at USNA's programs.</p>

<p>also, top colleges care a lot about community service, do you have any?</p>

9

<p>I've been a tutor in Math and French for 4 years. I also have volunteered at the blood bank for over 250+ hours. I actually thought these community service activities were insignificant since everyone does it. </p>

<p>Can anyone tell me how to improve my chances for Wharton?</p>

10

<p>hollermahler, you can pm me for information on Wharton's admissions and advice. I was admitted to Huntsman, so I know a thing or two about the process.</p>

11

<p>Anyone else?</p>

12

<p>bump........</p>

13

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at all these schools. I'll bump this thread since no one seems to be responding.</p>

15

<p>Um, why did you make this thread in the first place? Did you really need people to tell you that you're competitive at these places?</p>

16

<p>actually everyone is saying I'm a reach at wharton, and I want to know how to improve my chances!</p>
