Your stats are exceptional, and your courseload is strong. Your chances are good, but Huntsman is a very selective program, and it’s hard to accurately predict your chances in any capacity.
What was the e-book about? Did it receive any awards?
What does NHS do at your school? What are your active roles as its President?
I suppose that your ECs seem a little sparse, so it’s crucial that you have good answers for the above (assuming that you want to demonstrate the leadership that Wharton supposedly looks for).
Race could also play a factor in your chances, but if you didn’t choose to disclose it, I won’t ask.
Honestly, there’s not much to tell you. Were you expecting us to insist on raising your 2390 to a 2400? You’re in a good position, and aside from your essays, I doubt that there’s much that you can meaningfully improve upon.
No awards on the e-book; it was on public education - Nat. Honors Society does a lot of local volunteering projects, which I help out in a bit. Also forgot to mention we made Quizbowl NAQT nats last year.
Race is Asian (not the best for diversity ;D). Thanks for a frank and helpful assessment
My friend had a 33 act and got in so I think you’ll be just fine.
