Do I have a chance? (Upenn)

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

I am planning to apply ED to university of Pennsylvania: Wharton this year but I don’t know if I even stand a chance, I just think what i’ve done is not enough as there are people who are so much better than me and I just feel like I’m going to waste my ED.
It would be of a lot of help if you guys gave some opinions on this.

Nationality: Indian
ECs: Top ten in a investment banking competition hosted by Wharton in the south east Asia.
attended summer school at Wharton.
started a business with my friend that helps farmers and removes the middle man so that consumers and producers both benefit.
I have done ballet for 8 years.
MUNs
Head of publications and communications in school
chief editor of monthly news letter and year book
Research paper on the illegal imports of CFCs
Research paper for economics
Doing another entrepreneurship competition that goes on for 6 months
Taught underprivileged kids ( who doesn’t lol)
did a financial literacy program in which we opened bank accounts for underprivileged people.
In the girls football team ( we also won a silver medal last year)
Did a polio drop campaign

Academics: this is where the problem arises, I am doing IB and I have economics HL, BM HL, Chem HL, french SL, maths SL and english literature and language SL. I have just started my senior year and till now my predicted is a 33 but I have tests and exams coming up so I, hopefully, can improve and bring it up to a 36+.

SAT:1960
ACT: going to give
SAT 2: maths and chem: going to give.

My recommendations will be pretty good and essays are looking good too. My academics are the main concern for me which I will try to improve as much as I can.

so… what do you guys think?

Outstanding ECs, first off! Don’t have to worry on that front; your SAT score, though, is worryingly low though. Do you mean you’re going to take the ACT and SAT II’s? Are you an international student? If so, your chances will be much more difficult than normal, but don’t let this discourage you. I don’t know enough about the grade system that your school uses to comment on that. If possible, raise your standardized test scores (1500+ for New SAT or 33+ ACT) for your best shot. Otherwise, your profile seems very promising. Go for it!

Thank you so much for commenting, it is really appreciated! and yes I am an international student so it automatically becomes a lot more difficult for me. I will be giving ACT in September and SAT II’s in October
