<p>Thank you for taking your time to chance me! I will chance back! Suggestions on other schools I should apply to are welcome.</p>

<p>I believe that you can get into wharton (ed) but it definitely is a reach.
And other schools, u have pretty good chances</p>

3

<p>Thank you for chancing!</p>

4

<p>Ehh, not likely, SAT sucks, GPA is way too low…
Just kidding man, your the perfect applicant that Wharton likes to see, great business ECs and awards
You have a good chance of getting in, i would say its a coin flip</p>

5

<p>I think you have a great shot at several of those universities. You might add MIT and Indiana U’s Kelley School of Business.</p>

6

<p>I was going to do MIT but I was afraid their business school was too technology oriented. I’ll check out IUs biz school.</p>

7

<p>Wharton (ED): low reach/(optimistic) reach, I had a friend with similar grades and ECs who got in
Cornell AEM: low reach
Columbia: reach
Amherst: high match
Claremont McKenna: high match
Stanford: reach
Northwestern: low reach
NYU Stern: match
Rice: low match
You are a very strong applicant. I wish you best of luck!</p>

8

<p>All of them a decent chance, except maybe stanford. Columbia will also be a long shot.</p>

9

<p>I’m so anxious to hear from Wharton!</p>

10

<p>You seem to be the kind of person they would want to accept, especially with that high GPA, SAT, and focus towards a uniform goal of business. I would say it is a fifty-fifty shot. Definitely higher than most other people, but not guaranteed. I think you know that for yourself. (This is for wharton, by the way.)</p>

<p>For the others, I think you have around the same shot, assuming your essays show off the kind of person you are, and appeal to the adcom. But then again, who knows what exactly they want? I don’t think even they know what they want sometimes lol. Overall, you are a very competitive applicant for the schools you mentioned, though. </p>

<p>Could you please chance me back? Thank you!

<p>I think you have good overall chances and that being ranked highly in your large class will certainly help. I think it is important for your application since you have has success in several areas / thrive overall academically for your essays/supplements/interviews/etc. to really bring everything together and highlight your strengths and what you would bring to the school. Ivies are a reach for anyone, but I think you have a fair shot if you can demonstrate your passion/focus. </p>

<p>Ivies don’t want to see that you started a video game “server” that had a 100 dollar cash flow that already failed once, never mind reading about it in an essay. It’ll come off nerdy because that’s what you spent your summer doing. Your scores are good, GPA is a TAD low (3.9+ is preferable) but it seems as if you have a good upward spike. I think you’d get into rice comfortably. </p>
