Chances for Stanford and UPenn =]

<p>Hi. I'm interested in business/finance/econ.</p>

<p>I'm a junior at a competitive public school (~600 students).</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8
ACT: 36</p>

<p>ECs:
FBLA 4 years, president senior year
JSA: board member at school, will have a position in the midwest territory next year.
NHS: president senior year
Research internship studying cancer
competing in nationals next year (cancer research)</p>

<p>Awards:
State science award, competing in nationals next year
Various best speaker awards (JSA)</p>

<p>I know my ECs aren't very detailed, but I'm dedicated to all of them. I just don't feel like writing about all of them...I'll save that for college apps.</p>

<p>Anyways, please chance me for Stanford/Upenn, and give your insight, comments, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>what is your GPA or rank??</p>

</p>

<p>That's unweighted. My school doesn't rank.</p>

<p>Your ACT is amazing and your ECs seem very focused and different....the cancer research will help a lot. Even though no one can really say about UPenn and Stanford, you do have a really good shot. =)</p>

<p>Thanks :)
A couple things i forgot to add:</p>

<p>Under ECs:
Summer at UPenn '08: Management and Technology Summer Institute</p>

<p>Under Awards:
FBLA 2nd place at State.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance, but it comes down to ur essays and stuff too...
good luck!</p>

<p>sorry I saw that but didn't really pay attention. Anyway, I applied to both of these schools. I was weaker in pretty much every aspect except GPA. I got rejected from Stanford SCEA (not surprised) and I got into Penn. I def think you will be fine at Penn and I can't say about Stanford but it seems like you have a good shot. Just make sure you spend a lot of time on Stanford's supplement it is a long one and probably very important. Good luck</p>

<p>Thanks. How about Wharton, though? Which school in UPenn did you apply to?</p>

<p>My main concern is that my ECs are sort of scattered around, and although I do like what I do, there really isn't anything to consolidate it into a single strong point.</p>

<p>Can anyone else chance me/give me advice please?</p>

<p>Bump...can someone chance for Wharton please?</p>
