<p>Hi, I am an international student from Toronto, Canada and I will be applying to Wharton (University of Pennslyvania) Early Decision. I know it's a bit late but I would just like to know if I would even stand a chance?</p>
<p>Academics:
Grade 11 GPA - 92%
I'm an IB student and my school doesn't rank but I would say I am definitely in the top 5%. (My school holds an recognition assembly and I received awards for having the highest marks in Math, English, French, and Law.)
SAT - 2390 (800 Critical Reading, 800 Writing, 790 Math)
SAT II - just took them in October, don't have the results yet
IB - French SL 7/7; Geography SL 6/7</p>
<p>ECs:
The most major accomplishment I have in this area is that I started a theatre group for immigrant youths at a community centre (6-year old program) and we have performed plays at various functions and for fundraising purposes. I will focus on this as my extracurricular.
Minor ECs:
Leader of peer tutoring at my school, class representative on the Student Leadership Council, President of Math Club, member of Science Olympics, debate...etc.
I have volunteered at summer camps and senior citizen homes for the past 4 summers, garnering about 400 hours in volunteering.
The reason I became interested in business is because some of my friends asked (read: forced) me to act as a salesperson for their Junior Achievement club (basically you try to start a company). At first I was reluctant, but in the end I actually managed to ean close to $400. Unfortunately nothing ever really came out of it awards-wise.
Contests - I am an AIME qualifier, and have won awards in several local Math Contests (Fermat, Hypatia, etc)</p>
<p>Work Experience:
I worked in outreach at the community centre where I started the group. Essentially the goal of this position is to get information out to the public about the programs the centre offers (making posters, information nights, some fundraising, etc)</p>
<p>Essays and Recommendations:
Excellent recommendations; I have not finished my essays yet but I think that they'll be decent.</p>
