<p>You need to do at least one internship with a business and get a reference from them (my friend had the same stats, except all As and around a 2300 and got rejected by them. He didn’t ever do an internship, which is one of the things they look for). Also, since you probably only took the SAT once or twice (assuming cause you’re junior), take it once more just for the heck of it. You’re a great applicant!</p>

<p>Would getting into this be enough: [Leadership</a> in the Business World | The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania](<a href=“http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/academics/lbw.cfm]Leadership”>http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/academics/lbw.cfm) ? Unfortunately I don’t think I have the connections necessary to obtain a good business internship :/</p>
