Just wanted to update my results:
Accepted - Dartmouth, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, UVA, and BC. I was also offered a transfer option from Cornell
Waitlisted - Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Duke, and UChicago. I declined to stay on the Columbia, Duke, and UChicago waitlist. Rejected off the Yale one. Haven’t heard back from Harvard yet, keeping my fingers crossed!
Rejected - The Wharton School at UPenn (deferred and then rejected), Brown, and Princeton
Dartmouth Class of 2021!
Wishing future classes good luck!!!
@doorrealthe Thanks for the update. Congratulation on getting into Dartmouth! Best wishes to you!
Damn, I’m sorry about that Wharton ED rejection… 
What were your essays about? I’m an upcoming senior with very similar stats and ECs as yours (but I’m Indian/Asian… RIP) and I’m really getting nervous just looking at this!! But congrats on your other acceptances, well-deserved IMO.
Thank you @aneeshs17
My Common Application essay was about my love for thrift shops (similar to the famous Costco essay thematically). My Why Penn essay was a little generic. Just talked about why I wanted to be at Wharton, the Kelly Writers House, and other unique Penn extracurriculars. I would be happy to send you those if you want.
To be honest with you, getting into Wharton is extremely difficult if you come from a wealthy area or if your school is competitive. My school had around 8 applicants who applied early, and of the handful that got in, only one was not a legacy.
I think I did everything I could for Wharton (applied early, had a good interview, wrote good essays, had good stats and ecs, and had the KWH backing me to some extent) but Wharton likes people who are more mathematically inclined. I had hoped that they wanted diversity since I had a clear interest in writing as well as business but guess not. Could just be my scenario though.
^ 8 applicants to Penn early, not Wharton itself. Maybe 3-4 applicants to Wharton early
I think you are right about legacy in Wharton admissions. Then when you add in first gen, URM, and athletes, you are looking at very few spots.
