<p>I might be forgetting something, but it’s late!</p>

<p>I also know some people very high on at Penn that might be able to help. </p>

<p>So, what are my chances for ED at WHARTON?!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance</p>

<p>You have really good internships, not to mention good scores </p>

<p>one thing I'd recommend is pulling up your sat2 math scores... I know the early 700s aren't bad but wharton is a little more competitive than other schools on math scores ( I know some people got in with scores under but...)</p>

<p>But other than that, you look fine and you seem really oriented especially in politics..?!:) which is always good.</p>

<p>Thank you. Anyone else?</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>Bump anyone?</p>

<p>hey...i think ur EC looks great! however, from what i have heard...the score for Math 2c is very competitive for wharton so if you have a chance to retake...i will do that!</p>

<p>is math II required for wharton, or is math I fine</p>

<p>it's better to take IIC
(i got in w/ a 720, but that generally isn't such a hot score)
just make sure your essays and everything else are really good.</p>

<p>if u have a perfect score for level I then that will be fine! however, if your level I score isn't as stunning...i will recommend you to take the level II test coz the curve might benefit you...in short, u dont need to get every question correctly in order to get a 800</p>

<p>dont take the sat math II, dont even take anymore sat II's , u have a great shot as it is</p>

<p>you have really good ec's and connections... but you should look at past matriculations from you high school.</p>

<p>You come across as very privileged, which may work to your advantage or against you. Since the caliber of your EC's hinges on the legitimacy of those internships, IMO I think it's important to show that you earned them and were somehow inspired to engage in them for reasons other than college admissions.</p>

<p>That being said, you are solid across the board I have a hard time seeing you rejected anyway. Bumping up the Math Level 2 wouldn't hurt though.</p>

<p>i think u got a big chance.
at least much much more than i do!!!!
im doing Early decision as well. so wish us both good luck!
=)</p>

<p>two impressions of you:
(1) rich
(2) political experience</p>

<p>not sure what "type" of person wharton's looking for, but it seems like you're really into what you do, and that's always a plus for any college. :]</p>
