<p>your gpa without the rank seems OK but if you'd sent the rank in, you shoulnt be expecting a acceptence letter. Your SAT and ACT scores are below average and you ECs aren't amazing to cover those scores.
Now, you may have some chance of getting in, if you apply to a different major @ penn although being schooled in NY is a big disadvantage for you</p>

<p>What's the SAT range for Wharton acceptees? I got a score around 2150 and I am thinking whether I should apply... (English is my second language and I live in Canada... just came here 3.5 years ago and was in ESL 2/3.)</p>
