Chances for UPenn/Wharton?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm hoping to get into Wharton next year. Right now, I don't really think I have a very good chance, but I hold on to the hope that a good essay will get me in. I am currently a junior in high school, so a lot of this is just projected. I plan on applying ED in the fall (I know that helps my chances a lot).</p>

<p>GPA: 95.3 unweighted, 98.2 weighted (Top 5% of my class))
SAT: Just took this yesterday, but I got a 217 on the PSAT, and I'm projecting a 1500/2200.
ACT: Haven't taken yet, no idea what to expect.
SAT Subject Tests: I've taken Biology-M and World History and gotten 700s on both, but I don't plan to submit either. Taking Math II and Physics this year and should get above a 750 in both.</p>

<p>APs: Haven't taken any prior to this year (only AP World History was available), but currently enrolled in Physics B and Enlgish Lang. Next year I'm enrolled in Physics C, BC Calc, US Gov, Macroeconomics, English Lit, and French, as well as College Accounting and Business Administration.</p>

<p>ECs:
Varsity Spring Track (all 4 years, captain)
Varsity Winter Track (Soph-Senior, captain)
MSG Varsity Club (Soph-Senior, founding member and holder of multiple board positions)
French Honor Society (Junior & Senior, probably a board member next year)
DECA (Junior & Senior)
Community Service Club (all 4 years)
National Honor Society (Senior)
Business Honor Society (Senior)
Wall Street Investors Club (Senior, might have a small board position)</p>

<p>Recommendations:
I plan on getting recommendations from my track coach (who is also my physics teacher), a different school teacher, and my neighbor who is a Wharton grad and is on the alumni board</p>

<p>Awards:
High Honor Roll every quarter (so 12x)
Scholar Athlete Award (7x)
10th Place in National French Competition (probably going to place higher this year)
Various art awards in Computer Graphics
Probably going to at least be National Merit Semi-Finalist</p>

<p>Work:
Floor Hockey Ref (2010-present)
Camp Counselor (2012-present)
I also design t-shirts/ads for my aunt's screen printing business</p>

<p>Volunteer:
Tutoring
Community service</p>

<p>Wharton is highly competitive, even more than UPenn itself. If it’s really your dream, shoot for a 2200+ minimum. You have a strong GPA and class rank which is good. UPenn has a very holistic application process. Your ECs are solid, but stellar ECs would what make you stand out in a pool of amazing test scores. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’m sorry to say that I don’t think your chances are too great. You should definitely try to get your SAT scores a bit higher, and try to make your EC’s look impressive, especially in the business field(Maybe try starting your own small business?). Your EC are good, but i’ve met other applicants who’s ECs straight up made my mouth drop I would say its a reach-high reach. Still, you have time to improve your application, and I wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>Penn requires that you submit all standardized exams regardless of how well you have done on them.</p>
