<p>HalfandHalf,</p>
<p>You are a strong applicant. Remember that your stats put you in a relatively small group of high applicants (Even by the standards of the Penn pool) and it will ultimately come down to how creatively you present yourself to adcoms (e.g. you mention you are South Asian-That makes it a bit more challenging in terms of elite college admissions, so you must use your essay to present yourself in a creative, non-stereotypical way).</p>
<p>Have you considered Penn CAS? It is a strong school and you can take courses at Wharton if you’d like. Wharton is tougher to crack, but you’d need a higher SAT and intangibles must work well. But you are a strong applicant, indeed.</p>
<p>Best for the admissions process!</p>
