What do you feel will enable you to stand out?

As I plan to pursue the Huntsmen Program, I have already developed an international awareness through the vastly different backgrounds of my parents. I’ve taken a few different business courses that have helped mature my interest in that major. But what makes me stand out, hm, I consider myself a leader and am driven to use my future career to help others, my plan is detailed in the TEDx I gave. I’m also in the top 5% of my class

Both programs at Penn will have a ton of applicants in the top 5% of their class who are leaders in and out of school.

Perhaps focus in on the uniqueness you noted. Bring it to life.

What is your class rank? Did you check your chance with Naviance? I am afraid your GPA may be on low side both for Wharton and Huntsman. You should have the stats of HYPSM for Huntsman or Wharton. Business classes are not necessary for Wharton.

@f2000sa yeah I was worried about my GPA, but now I have some major encouragement to do well in the first semester of my senior year (always looking on the bright side). My class rank is #2

In addition to echoing what ClarinetDad16 and f2000sa said, I would recommend that you spell *Huntsman correctly in your application and essays
