<p>Chances?</p>
<p>you have a good shot - mainly because you're a urm....especially at places like UPenn...</p>
<p>you're only a sophomore so don't worry about it too much....try raising the ACT score a tad.</p>
<p>So I have a decent chance, what about Wharton?</p>
<p>decent chance there too...though less so..just because of it's so selective....
Also, your chances may be slightly diminished at Wharton because you don't have much of a Business background. Much of EC list is health/science related....</p>
<p>like I said, no need to worry, you have a lot going for you</p>
<p>If your grades follow an upward trend and you improve a little on standardized tests then you should have a pretty good shot. To Wharton...it may be a reach.</p>
<p>what is with all these sophomore/freshmen asking for chances...? that said, u stand a decent chance at wharton</p>
<p>it's because "The Insanity" increases expontentially every year....</p>
<p>LadyinRed...that is sooo true! :-) I dont care about Wharton...U penn is u penn!</p>
<p>"expontentially every year...."</p>
<p>it's more like, logistically</p>
<p>wait...its the same thing nvm lol</p>
<p>no it's not... logistically has a cap, in that sense u are correct as the population cannot sustain that many people... exponentially is forever growing without bound!</p>
<p>sorry, what does URM stand for?</p>
<p>URM = Under-Represented Minority...Hispanics, Blacks, and American Indian for example.</p>
<p>true...logistically has a cap...
but then again...I was talking about the total amount of insanity...not the number of people who can be considered insane...so it's exponentially...</p>
<p>wow...discussing this makes me such a pathetic person...</p>
<p>right, but my post was in response to chanman's* and no it doesn't, it makes u a cool mathy person</p>
<p>It doesn't make you a pathetic person! Cheer up!</p>
