junior thinking of applying to Wharton

<p>I already know my chances are definately not high, but I was just hoping that by posting this, maybe it won't be too late to see what areas I need to work on?</p>

<p>Year: Junior</p>

<p>Classes this year: APUSH, AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, English 3 Honors [highest level of English available for juniors at my school], Trig/Pre-Calc, Accounting</p>

<p>*I was supposed to take French 3 this year, but because my school only offered French 3 7th period, and AP Chemistry was only offered 7th period, I was forced to choose between the two. I'm also taking AP Chemistry at a school in my district about 15 minutes away because my high school does not offer it. So I have to spend my lunchtime driving there every other day because of block scheduling</p>

<p>Classes my senior year: AP English, AP Physics, AP Calculus AB, AP Government, French 3, 3-D Design 1</p>

<p>** I had to take a Fine Art to graduate. This is probably waste of a period :/</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: ASB Class Secretary Freshman and Sophomore Years,
Key Club Publicity Chair my Sophomore Year, Key Club Treasurer my Junior Year, <em>very likely Key Club President my Senior Year</em>, CSF/Honor Society Vice President Sophomore and Junior Year, Business Club President Junior Year, Varsity Tennis player since Freshman Year <em>co-captain my Junior Year, will be captain again next year</em></p>

<p>Unfortunately, I'm not ranked in tennis in USTA or anything, something I regret not spending more time on.</p>

<p>I would also like to add that since my school doesn't have a Business Club/FBLA [as many of you might notice, my school lasks a lot of things], that is a club I started this year, in hopes of just getting some members by the end of this year and then forming an FBLA my Senior Year. I am really interested in all the competitions FBLA has - not only because of the awards, but they genuinely sound interesting and fun to me [this probalby sounds nerdy haha]. </p>

<p>SAT-I: 2180
[690 Critical Reading, 720 Math, 770 Writing]
I took it December 2007, and am taking it again this coming March</p>

<p>I haven't taken any of my SAT-II's yet, but I'm planning to take those after AP testing
Most likely SAT-II Chemistry and SAT-II Math</p>

<p>GPA: 4.06</p>

<p><em>My school does not give extra points for honors classes or else my GPA would be higher, since I took all the available Honors classes in Freshman and Sophomore Years. I have 3 B+s overall: 1 in APUSH last semester, 1 in AP Chemistry last semester, and 1 in Biology Honors from Freshman Year</em></p>

<p>Class Ranking: 3/317</p>

<p>Ideally, I would like to attend Wharton and major in Finance or Accounting.</p>

<p>Thank you to anyone that reads through this and leaves a response!</p>

<p>Just look at the ed'ers stats on the Penn thread. I'll summarize for ya though...you're SAT is a little low. Your GPA is par at worst. And your ec's are lacking. And I'm nerdy too as far as business, (though only in my dreams do I apply here) I was doing one of the events for fun, and then decided I might as well submit it to the fbla competition.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback :)</p>

<p>I'm aiming for a 2250 on the March SATs.
Does UPENN superscore SAT scores like Stanford?
I think that would help me out a lot, since it's probably pretty hard to keep up a 770 Writing :/</p>

<p>Also, I forgot to mention that my 4.06 was my total GPA for high school.
What GPA is Wharton looking for?
For example, UC's look at 10-11 GPA only [I think] and have a separate "UC" GPA.</p>

<p>They do superscore, and I was saying you GPA is good. Yet....everyone who gets in has that. WHat you need is better ec's, that's all. I.e. getting to nationals in fbla.</p>

<p>^getting to nationals at FBLA that really counts? i thought FBLA was a bit of a joke =O</p>

<p>Well, it's my first year doing it so I don't really know the competition. I also guess it really depends on your state. Anywho, my one friend's only significant ec was national histroy day, and he got to nationals. He's now at Penn. Great Scores+Great GPA+Something else really hard to do/special=competitive.</p>
