What I'm really curious about is Wharton. Do I have a chance? I've also been looking at the CAS to see if my profile matches that better...What do you think?</p>

<p>Nice stats, the only thing that’d hold you back is your Spanish (mainly because it’s one of the more competitive languages for Huntsman) otherwise I’d say definitely say you could get in. Huntsman is very particular in the sense that it really looks for people who have an international mindset.
I’d work on doing a killer Huntsman essay and maybe upping my Spanish a bit. Otherwise good luck with the crapshoot.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice! </p>

<p>Yeah, I’ll probably retake the Spanish SAT II and have the scores rushed, but aside from that, I’m just going to try to stretch the international stuff farther.</p>

<p>Great stats. I’m probably applying ED to Huntsman for Japanese. Hopefully we both get in!</p>

<p>Good luck to you, too!</p>

<p>Y’know, what I’m curious about is Wharton. I mean–I don’t have the DECA-YOUNG-BUSINESS-LEADERS background…but I have leadership. And a 5 on the Calc BC AP. XD</p>

<p>What do the Wharton chances seem like?</p>
