Chances for Wharton and Harvard

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA: 4.0
GPA (UW): 4.595</p>

<p>Only 3 AP's so far: AP Computer Science (5), English (5), AP Calculus AB (5)
AP's in progress: AP Literature, AP Government, AP Calculus BC
Community College Course: Probability and Statistics (A - 4.0 UC-transferrable credits).</p>

Verbal: 800
Math: 800
Writing: 720</p>

<p>SAT II's:
Math II: 800
Literature: 730
US History: We'll see - I don't think I'll get more than a 750</p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<p>Summer Camp Counselor: 4 years; 30 hours/week; 4 weeks/year</p>

<p>Tutor: 3 years; 2 hours/week; 40 weeks/year</p>

<p>Church Stuff (Retreat Leader, Youth Group Co-Leader): 4 years; 4 hours/week; 52 weeks/year</p>

<p>(Add it up and it's like 1500 hours or something, I dunno)</p>

<p>Work Experience: 8 hours a week at an after-school program</p>

<p>Track: last 2 years (I couldn't do anything 9/10th grade, because I tore my meniscus and my wonderful doctor told me that it wasn't bad enough for surgery but bad bad enough that I should take it easy for a year; Should I tell them this in the "Additional Info" section or something?)</p>

<p>Newspaper: last 2 years (not allowed to do until junior year): Featured "Conservative" columnist, although at my school, "Conservative" means Non-Marxist...</p>

<p>I really just want to know what my shots are at Wharton and Harvard - I know I don't have many EC's and not that many AP's, but my test scores and GPA are good...just wanted to see what all the CCers thought. </p>

<p>On a side note, my safeties are UC's</p>

2

<p>Gender and ethnicity?
Competitiveness of high school? Location?
Class rank and size?</p>

3

<p>Oh, sorry, I totally forgot.</p>

<p>I'm a Male Egyptian (first-generation, if that helps)</p>

<p>My high school (located in Bay Area) isn't that competitive. With my GPA I'm rank 1 out of 210, although we don't rank, show it'll show up as top 10%. </p>

<p>We haven't sent a kid to HYP in about 10 years, Penn in 5, other ivies in 2 or 3, although we did send a kid to Stanford last year. About 50 out of 200 students end up going to UCLA or UC Berkeley (last year, 43 did).</p>

4

<p>im confused. UW GPA higher than weighted?</p>

<p>otherwise, definitely great chances at Wharton. EC's don't really demonstrate passion for business, however.</p>

5

<p>I can't see why you would not be accepted anywhere other than not enough leadership. Otherwise you're pretty damn good</p>
