<p>I think you got it easily. Don't worry about Leadership positions. Out-of-school accomplishments are sometimes better than in-school leadership roles</p>
<p>you seem like a strong candidate, many of the things you have much mroe than me. perhaps its because you have too many ECs, sometimes that shows like aluundry list of accomplishments rather then true passion in one or two things. I dont know.. but honostly you have a great chance. and now im fretting haha. good luck</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the wharton applicants are in a completely different pool than the CAS ones? Are the acceptance stats different for every school?</p>
<p>"Yeah i'm pretty sure the Wharton applicants are reviewed by separate admission officers in Wharton, don't quote me on this though."
This is completely false. Every applicant at Penn is reviewed by the same committee. You are competing in different pools, but the adcom is trying to build a holistic class so decisions for different schools are not entirely independent of each other.</p>
<p>It is slightly easier to get into the CAS since it's a lot larger than Wharton. There is something like a 5-6% difference in their acceptance rates. But bear in mind that a successful applicant at one school may not be so so successful at the other, and vice versa, simply because the schools have different priorities. Apply to the school that interests you the most, and you feel your background and achievements best equips you for.</p>
