<p>PS: oh and I want to apply ED to U PENN. chances?</p>

<p>Stanford is a reach. The Ivies are reaches. UChicago depends on your application. And Northwestern is a low reach/high match.</p>

<p>if you are ED to Upenn Wharton -- you need some business experience...</p>

<p>if you are doing it ED for the other colleges, retake your sat and I think you have a high chance of getting in :D</p>

<p>UChicago doesn't really fit in with the ivy standard, aside from its admitted students SAT range and USNWR rank. Students have a much more academic focus than they do at other colleges (that's not to say that UChi students are any smarter or superior, but we do love school) and if you're looking for schools that attract well-rounded students like Penn (i.e. students who spend a lot of time both inside and outside the classroom, though Penn especially has a rep for students being apathetic about academics), Chicago is probably not a good fit for you.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the advice!
I was thinking of the dual-degree program for ED at UPENN,
the huntsman program. Is that harder to get into?? with my stats, any chances???</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>
