<p>Lol yea of course you've got a shot. Your stats beat mine out and I just got into Wharton so you'll be fine. But your prolly not as sexy so don't hold your breath :D haha</p>

3

<p>i appreciate the input....you were for ED, so we'll see.....</p>

<p>and the valedictorian (who got into stanford last night) at my school is applying to wharton as well....my rank doesnt do me justice...</p>

4

<p>eh don't worry bout rank so much I was 15 outa like 250 so you should be alrite. Better watch out tho the valedictorian's gonna steal your spot lol</p>

<p>hey my application fee was 70$ !!</p>

6

<p>Its all about the fee waiver w00t im 70 dollars richer than all of u</p>

<p>try to bump up your math scores on either the SATs or SATIIs, because wharton's big on math, and that's probably ur only weak point</p>
