Well, your stats look good. Kind of worries me that you didn’t put up a GPA. As everyone knows, it’s almost impossible to tell who will be accepted or rejected to Harvard, so It’s just safe to say that it’s a high reach.

Harvard: Reach
Stanford: Reach
UPenn: Low-reach/Match
Berkley: Match
Chicago: ? (don’t know enough about)

Harvard, Stanford: reach
Chicago, Penn: mid-reach
Berk: match

@Jolex2‌ Thanks for your reply! :smiley: Reason I didnt put up a GPA is that here in India we dont get one! :stuck_out_tongue: We only get percentage and ranks

First of all, NO ONE is a match to ANY of he Ivies or Stanford. Those schools are a reach for EVERYONE. Some people obviously get into a reach school, but no one is a match. With that in mind, you are a strong candidate.

Harvard - High Reach
UPenn - Reach (not High ONLY because you are doing ED)
Berkeley - Low Reach
Stanford - High Reach
Chicago - Low Reach

Will you get in to one or more of those schools? Assuming you keep the strong grades and hard classes until you graduate, probably. They are still all reaches though. Tough to get into any of them.

11

Harvard. Sfanford: high reaches.
Penn: low reach
Chicago; reach
Berkely: low reach

12

bump!

13

You going to keep bumping until someone says you’re a match for all those schools?! :slight_smile:

14

Look at his intended major:

  1. Most of the schools he’s looking at do not offer an undergraduate business major.
  2. Penn does, but that means Wharton, which he will not get into.
15

^^That was my problem with this as well

16

@soze Why can’t he get into Penn Wharton, his application is pretty strong IMO.

17

Thanks for replying everyone :slight_smile:
@soze y cant i get wharton?

18

OP, basically nobody gets into Wharton.

19

hmm…
