<p>admissions these days are basically a crapshoot but you're a strong candidate- your scores are fantastic- if wharton is what you want then definitely go ED- Penn is known for much better ED acceptances</p>
<p>I have a bunch of research that I've done, but should I send a copy to Penn, since it doesn't have anything to do with Business. (I'm applying to Wharton). Also, where can I attach a copy of my resume? There's only a limited amount of space where I can state my awards and credentials on the Penn App. Also, I read this on another thread, does the High School courseload count more or do the grades count more? Currently, I'm taking the hardest courseload at my school resulting in a bunch of Bs.</p>
<p>well i called in and had a long chat with my regional advisor. she said its useless to send in supplementary stuff unless it's got something to do with the course you're getting into. she told me not to send videos of stage performances etc unless I'm applying to the college. for wharton it has to be something like...you delivering a presentation or something...well that was in her words...</p>
<p>Does anyone have ideas about how the courseload and GPA are considered? Considering that I'm ranked 55 in a class of about 500, I guess that goes pretty far against me? Especially when there are at least 10 other applicants from my school (only 2-3 applying early though).</p>
