<p>are you sure you want to go to wharton for your masters but not ug?
because the university (ok mostly just wharton ug but still...) is extremely competitive when it comes to wharton graduate applications, they can only take so many from within upenn</p>
<p>but back to the chances
i dont like your chances for wharton undergrad,
but im not very familiar with selectivity for the other colleges at penn, so maybe you have a shot there?
is your baseball varsity, do you have more/better ecs, and do you have sat 2s?</p>
<p>at risk of hurting your feelings, i would assume its a long shot for all penn schools, but i could be wrong
good luck</p>
<p>Not to brag or anything, but I have 1430 SATs, 800/760/740 SATIIs, many ECs with leadership positions in 3/4 of them, and I still consider Penn a reach school. If its a reach for me, then it definitely is for you. Just about everyone has similar chances of getting in there, with the exception of world class musicians and all state athletes.</p>
<p>hi,
not sure if this is the rite place but i juz want comments on my chances.
i am an indian girl but been studyin in singapore for over 6yrs.
my sat scores is 1570 (800 verbal n 770 math).
my sat2 score is 800 physics, 770 math2C, but i screwed writing 670 and since i sat for dec'04 no time to retake..
other academic, well till sec sch(olevel/10th grade) i had i guess pretty gd record as i was valedictorian, top student Olevel in school and top for Eng lang,math and eng n chem at during sec3 (9th)
Olevel grades: 6A1s n 2A2..A1 in Eng, Hindi, Emath, AMath, Phy, Chem ( i did nto take olevel Bio however took it up at alevel)
A2 for Geography and combines Humanities (Social st + lit)
for Hindi as well i was prize winner throughout due to 1st position but only in my class... my cca were Red Cross (i ws co- chairman and at rank of staff seargent) as well as drama n debate..
as for JC (11th n 12th),unfortunately I slacked a lot and was not serious about studies till last minute. My grades were just so-so around B or C mostly.. obviously now i wish i had worked hard in JC...)
I did last minute cramming for Alevels.
my sub for Cambridge Singapore Alevels were C Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, General Paper (GP), Hindi ( i scored A1 as hindi results were out last yr) .
I am also taking Spaper for chem(somewhat equal to US honors paper) however, i have very low hopes for hitting even a merit for that now though i have heard US hardly takes in consideration Spaper.. my cca have been Cricket (the only jc with girls team) and i am vice-capt, indian cultural society, CT REP (class monitress). Unfortunately i was not serious enough in yr1 (11th) to sign up for any of the olympiads.
I do volunteer work at a nationaly recognised community group SINDA. I did not work in summers last year ( i doubt it is a valid excuse but most singaporean studnets in my opinion generally do NOT wokr in summers, only at end of O or A level when waiting for results).however now i have a job at NUS (natl' uni of singapore). I do research type of work, more specifically data collection on variety of topics.
I am not to sure how gd my recommendation reports will be , i know they wont really be negative but not sure how glowing and as for my essays, i have received mixed results. My GP teacer beleived it to be good however not all found it convincing.
I have applied for MIT, Harvard and UPenn...[why! oh why!]. I know it is a really long shot specially after reading about people with much bttr academics and ECAs but still were rejected however, some did not have very impressive records but stil made it.
So i am hoping for comments.Hope they are not too scary :P as i am already a nervous wreck with GCE Alevels results due in 2 weeks time..
thnx</p>
