<p>edit: i definitely plan to apply ED for wharton or sloan</p>

2

<p>you have a big chance in the applicant pool but still not for sure for wharton I think</p>

3

<p>wow.... that means so much to me... you have no idea
it was like an orgasmic sensation when you said that</p>

<p>"you have a big chance in the applicant pool"</p>

<p>criticism is encouraged</p>

4

<p>ARe you considering any other these schools ED?</p>

5

<p>absolutely
wharton or sloan ED</p>

6

<p>I think that you would have an excellent chance at Sloan ED...but I have been thinking about ED lately and I really dont like it becuase you can't see all of the options you will have. With you stats. it seems that you could be a good RD candidate. You can choose to apply ED but remember that it is binding.</p>

<p>Edit: what grade are you in? currently 10 or going to 10th?
If you can bring up all the stats...Go for wharton ED</p>

7

<p>thanks for your concern, but im fully aware of the disadvantages in applying ED
i read this entire book about early action and early decision
The Early Admissions Game : Joining the Elite</p>

<p>im currently in 10th grade, entering 11th grade after this summer vacation</p>

<p>i really appreciate the feedback</p>

8

<p>Well then I think the Wharton would be the best choose for you ED. You have plenty of time to improve.</p>

<p>Wharton > Stern</p>

9

<p>wharton is my #1 choice
thank you so much</p>

<p>Look into the leaders in the business world or LEAD programs at Wharton, they're both great summer camps (if you have the money) to help boost your chances at any of these top business schools. That being said, I think you have a great shot to any of these schools (which are hard for anybody to get into, especially Sloan and Wharton) with or without these programs. These would increase your chances greatly however, or so I am told (I've never actually been to either of these myself).</p>

11

<p>Yes, I definitely plan to apply for LEAD. But what are my chances of getting into LEAD?</p>

<p>LEAD receives over 1,200 applications for just 370 seats=30.8% acceptance rate</p>

12

<p>apply to both Lead and LBW....also check out Operation Enterprise.</p>

<p>you can google all these..</p>

13

<p>MIT's early option is EA, not ED.</p>

<p>Just keep in mind that you are not applying for a specific major or school at MIT, so you will be competing with all the math and science kids.</p>

14

<p>You have a great chance of getting into LEAD, I am going this summer (wharton) and I didnt think that I even had a chance.</p>

15

<p>Just so you know, you can apply ED Wharton AND EA Sloan. Wharton lets you apply to other (non-binding, non-Single Choice) Early Action programs. However, they require that if you do get into Wharton, you must go. </p>

<p>Still, it's not a bad idea to boost your chances as much as possible.</p>
