<p>good essay, good recs and i'm pretty sure they won't find anything to keep you out. but with all the crapshoots around, you never know. so at best, you'll be pleased to know that you have better chances that most applicants the adcoms will see. good luck.</p>

<p>Your chances are excellent anywhere. Top test scores, top ranked in your school, very good extracurriculars and leaderships. Do work on those essays.</p>

<p>Wharton is a crapshoot for anybody, but you have as good of a shot as any other competitive applicant (if not better)</p>

<p>Thanks again, everyone--your input is going to be a tremendous asset to how I form my list.</p>

<p>Final bump.</p>
