7

<p>Thank you Hilary11. </p>

<p>Do any of you think that I have a reasonable chance for Wharton or am I just being delusional....</p>

8

<p>I think if you had some more activities that had to do with business and such you would have a much better shot. But your 2nd time SAT is good, maybe a little low for Wharton. It's just soo competitive, I don't really know how to judge. Sorry.</p>

9

<p>While your SAT is good, your ACT is great. Combined with your subject test scores, I don't think you have anything to worry about testing-wise.</p>

<p>Wharton ED-higher reach
U Chicago EA-lower reach
Yale-higher reach
Pomona-higher reach
Amherst-higher reach
Claremont Mckenna-high match
Georgetown-lower reach
Dartmouth-middle reach
Middlebury-middle reach
Davidson-higher match

<p>Intersting mflevity. So Middlebury is harder than Georgetown huh? Thank you</p>

11

<p>Bump ~</p>

12

<p>Yale and Wharton are your two biggest reaches, but I think that applying ED to Wharton you may increase your chances slightly. Great SAT improvement though! I'm hoping something like that will happen to me this October. :/</p>

<p>Anyway, chance me back por favor? (Add in Johns Hopkins as well though...I'm thinking I may apply there too. Hmm)</p>

13

<p>there is a debate going on saying that wharton's early decision acceptance rate is so high because of self selectivity, make sure you actually want to go there before u apply.</p>

14

<p>Wharton's been my dream school since like.. forever so I don't have any doubt in my decision. </p>

<p>However, that does kind of scare me a little...</p>

<p>Fuzzylogic2525 can you point me out to that discussion?</p>

15

<p>errr... for the UC's, you are a match for UCB,SD,LA. Especially since you are in-state, good enough SAT scores, and an above avg. UC gpa, and ELC.</p>

<p>we have a lot of similar stats academically</p>

<p>haha i find it funny...you said "pubic" high school in Socal</p>

17

<p>I think it's really cool that you know Chinese even though you're Korean! And does that first line of your post mean that you came to AMERICA in your FRESHMAN YEAR?! And you're already so accomplished, both academically and otherwise... wow. O__O</p>

<p>I don't trust myself to chance people, 'cause I'm just a senior myself and if I could predict people's chances I wouldn't be so clueless about my own, lol. But your profile looks really good. Wow @ the ACT!</p>
