<p>Chances look good to me...just work hard on those essays! I'm not too sure on the history and poly science major(but im assuming its great), but maybe someone else can help you out with that one!!</p>

<p>the 800 history will help support your case for being accepted as a history major, but your rank and SAT will make admission a challenge. While you certainly could be admitted, a higher SAT score (given your mediocre-by-penn-standards rank) may be necessary. Try to get the math+reading up to about 1450 and you will stand a much better chance.</p>

<p>Thank god, a college applicant</p>

<p>I think the college suggest you take a language SATII, so that Spanish could hurt you more than you think.</p>

5

<p>I think you stand a decent shot, your rank is top 10%, which still ought to be good enough even though you went to a large school. I'd be interested to hear what 'very very bad' means with regard to your sat2's, and i'd be a little concerned about that 650 math score. All-in-all though, I'd say you're in good shape.</p>

<p>Also, ditto on the thanks for not making yet another wharton thread</p>
