<p>Double legacy + ED + Good Scores = Automatic acceptance…</p>

<p>^ I wouldn’t say automatic acceptance but you definitely have a very good chance.</p>

<p>Your username seems familiar…I think I saw a similar chance post before. Anyway, I think you have a very good shot, especially with double legacy applying early decision! It also is amazing how your have a near perfect SAT, perfect SAT IIs, and 5’s on every AP you took… I wish I had your test scores!!</p>

<p>I’m just confused about the 4.17 Weighted GPA. How does your school calculate weighted? (My school counts AP as .1 extra credit and honors level as .05.) What is your unweighted?</p>

<p>Also, what do you mean by “decent” ECs, essays, and recs tho? Leadership/evident commitment in extracurriculars would make you even more well-rounded. Any business-related activities/internships or something similar would probably help. Wharton’s obviously crazy competitive but, judging by your scores, I would say you are definitely in the ball park. Good luck!</p>

<p>It’s a 4.0 scale, honors classes boost each grade by .333 and AP classes by .666 (ex: a regular A is the same an as honors A- or an AP B+)</p>

<p>By decent, I just mean nothing that stands out, but definitely a solid resum</p>
