<p>oh and applying to wharton</p>

<p>i would say u have a good chance....especially because of your tennis!
how does your school calculate GPAs? cause a 4.84 is really high.</p>

4

<p>4.0 for a regular class and 5.0 for any honors or ap class. i have taken every honors or ap class possible and only 2 B+'s</p>

5

<p>your in if you have been recruited</p>

6

<p>Looks like you have a very good shot to me. What's your regional or national USTA ranking?</p>

<p>roylemoyle are u a tennis player? i finished 07 ranked 60 in socal 18s and am about 300 for class of 2009 on tennisrecruiting.net. i dont know if this is high enough yet for penn to recruit me but bc im prob a pretty good candidate already maybe the coach will help guarantee entrance.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm a tennis player in SoCal 18s too, but I blow, so I'm sure we'll never play each other. 60th is impressive for such a competitive and large section as SoCal, but I'm not sure it's good enough to get recruited at Penn. Maybe that's just because I'm friends with Ryan Thacher who's #1 in the nation. But I would suggest googling the players on Penn's roster (Men's</a> Tennis - Roster & Bios - PennAthletics.com—The Official Website of University of Pennsylvania Athletics) to see how you match up to them when they were in high school.</p>

<p>ya ive already done that....i will prob be good enough to be on their roster(its a pretty big roster) but i dont know about starting. im just hoping that, since im pretty good academically that the coach can just recommend me and then ill get in. do u go to harvard-westlake? i play with chris kenney sometimes if u know him. i actually played tyler bridges(whos from thousand oaks if u know him) today. beat him 4 and 1. what are u ranked in the 18s?</p>

<p>Talk to the coach, even if you're aren't being recruited. He can put in a good word for you.</p>
