<p>Do I have a decent chance? Or should I be focusing my time elsewhere?</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance. Not better than anyone else, but not much lower. Your SAT is decent (Math score is low). GPA however is great. On the EC side, everything is a bit average. Nothing really stands out. Having said that, you should apply, as you have a decent chance.</p>

<p>I think you have a chance… more so at CAS rather than Wharton as I am not seeing business related EC’s. Make sure you work on those essays!</p>

<p>If your Math SAT score concerns you, I had the same one and I got in. Of course, everyone is different, but you have a chance.</p>
