Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My app is done and I sent it in for Wharton ED at UPenn. I know, ambitious and hard and I'm probably on the lower end of things:
Here's my stats, lemme know my chances. I put this in the Upenn forum but I think more people will rate me here.</p>

<p>GPA: 95.5%/100% (4.0 UW, 4.15 W where max is 4.3 with 100% in all AP classes)
APS: 6 and a plethora of honors courses

<p>The one I stressed the most was my housing rehabilitation group and my passion for community service (was in my essay). I sent in a resume but also wrote my 6 most important ones and their time committments on the app.
(Housing Rehab, web design business, math club, track, choir, volunteering in Math/English)</p>

<p>I got 3 good teacher recommendations. Essays are good.
What are my chances?? I get conflicting responses so this will be my last one on here. Thanks guys for looking again. </p>

<p>I absolutely love UPenn!! Hope I can get in.</p>

<p>I don't know why you'd think you're on the lower end of things...you're above 75th percentile for test scores, you're top 3% of your class, you have great ECs...and you're applying ED. I think you have a very good chance. If you actually believe you're on the lower end of things, your idea of college admissions is skewed. It's not as difficult as implied by many people on this site. You have a great chance, stop worrying.</p>

<p>I envy you.. really... if I had your stat, I won't be panicing like I am right now :(</p>

<p>good shot, id say</p>

<p>If you had said you were applying to the College, I would have said you had a pretty good chance...But Wharton is different kettle of fish altogether. It has so many kids with qualifications as good as yours applying, and the school accepts only around 12%. Realistically, your stats are probably about in the middle of the applicant pool, in other words, you're about an average Wharton applicant in that regard. Your ECs are strong, so perhaps, overall you're a bit above the average. Figure average applicants have that 12% chance. You're a bit above average and you're applying ED, so, figure you have about a 15% to 17% chance.</p>

<p>You sound good. Wharton is harsh, but you've got a better chance than most, I'd reckon.</p>
