<p>General Information
1st generation Taiwanese-American
Income bracket: 100-140k
California Resident</p>

<p>Academics
I attend a mid-size public school, my public school is quite competitive and sends ~10 to top 10's every year, around 30 to both UC Berkeley and UCLA.
GPA: 3.971/4.000; 4.323/5.000; Rank 15/480 (top 4% - ELC Student)
SAT: 2150 (800M, 650CR, 700W - only submitting to colleges that require it)
ACT: 34 (36M, 34E, 32R, 33S, 10W)
SATII: 800 Math 2, 800 Physics, 740 Bio:M
AP Tests: Biology, Physics B, Statistics, Calc AB, US History: (3/4/5/5/3) (I was sick during May, should I put this on additional info?)
*Our school ranking system is quite flawed - it ranks unweighted GPA, so a person taking all college prep classes can rank higher than me.
Senior year courseload: AP Computer Science, Chinese 4, AP US Gov, English 12, AP Psychology, AP Chem, Honors Economics
By the end of the year, I would have taken 9 AP's.</p>

<p>Sad part : your SAT I is not very good, APs test are not that good. you mentioned “I was sick during May, should I put this on additional info?” If i were you, i will put this on additional info.
Good part: ECs and SAT IIs are very good.</p>

<p>See if you can submit ACT instead of SAT I.</p>

<p>You still have a good chance in my opinion. Good luck!</p>

<p>Great chance if you send your ACT! Good luck :)</p>

<p>Your math scores are definately on par for Wharton. I would also say that overall your SAT/ACT are enough for Wharton. Maybe somewhat below average, but your math will probably be considered the most.
The only thing missing in your Wharton-app is something that shows your passion for business. As for now, there’s nothing that really shows your interest in business.
So, even though your math is amazing and therefore great for Wharton, I think Wharton is a medium reach for you. But I still think you have a good chance of getting in!
Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Will be applying RD for Wharton. My top-choice without doubt. Not applying ED because of financial circumstances (international needing aid).
Please chance back! :slight_smile:
