<p>Prospective major: M&T or if I can't get in Wharton</p>

<p>Should I apply ED to up my chances?</p>

<p>you def have the scores. 3.5 GPA is a bit low tho, for both M&T and wharton. also while your extracurrics are great (they show you are very involved), Wharton seems to stress leadership in admissions. </p>

<p>btw, you had the same schedule as i did senior year, and i also did research over the summer (tho i did biochem rather than chemE). def try to get that to siemens and intel sts if possible. also, def give ED a shot. i think around half (or more) of the M&T class is Early D.</p>

<p>you're in NJ and you didn't do science league!? i'm disappointed... :)</p>

<p>Yeah I know my unweigheted is sort of low. But I'm def going to get that to siemens and intel. Science league required a lot of time after school (dumb teachers would make us practice 2x a week) so I quit after freshman year in bio. Are you doing M&T next year?</p>

<p>Actually scratch the ED thing... that won't be an option.</p>

<p>science league = good times</p>

<p>and yes, i'll be going next year</p>
