<p>bump 10 char</p>

<p>you said stern, so does that mean you are applying to wharton or just the college....</p>

<p>for wharton, you have a slim to none shot to be perfectly honest...both the gpa and sat's are well below standards...nothing else jumps off the page </p>

<p>for the college, again, its gonna be a real tough shot. sat is low, gpa is low, ec's are average at best....if you show a lot of interest, and really shine through on your essays, you'll have a shot, but not a great one</p>

<p>other schools:</p>

<p>UC-Berkeley (reach)
NYU Stern (reach)
UVA (high match)
Emory (high match)</p>

<p>Well the OP is from South Carolina. There were only 10 people from SC in the class of 2011, and the state has one of the lowest graduation rates. It's much easier to stand out there.</p>

<p>bump 10 char</p>

<p>yea i agree that location will help, but its not enough to get into a school like wharton...probably helps a lot at the college though</p>

<p>okay the bumps are getting ridiculous.... gpa is lower than average as are sat's so its definately a high reach w/o a hook</p>

11

<p>I thought his tennis stuff was impressive at least =/
Still a reach school tho, given his lower standardized scores</p>

<p>bump 10 char</p>

13

<p>Yea, you really need to stop it with the bumping.</p>

<p>Like everyone said, below normal SATs, GPA, and nothing too exciting in terms of extracurriculars.</p>

<p>And you typed that long post - did you really save that much time by typing "plz."</p>
