<p>bumpity bump any more thoughts? </p>

<p>Almost accepted, but wait listed. Ultimately, rejected is my guess.</p>

<p>I hope you prove me wrong, but your against a tough crowd. URM will help you a lot. Otherwise I would say flat out rejected. Your GPA + ACT is pretty meh, and your ECs help you stand out. Coupled with URM, gives you some realistic chance. </p>

<p>Let me know if you get in!</p>

<p>I applied to Wharton ED, and will be awaiting my notification on the 15th.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK.</p>
