<p>What school/program are you applying to?</p>

<p>^ i’m applying to CAS.</p>

<p>Eh, your application looks okay. Weak-ish GPA. But you do sort of compensate with SAT scores. Nothing really stands out.</p>

<p>Your GPA is probably your biggest hindrance, but your SAT is pretty good. I remember the girl who did my info session at Penn told me that the transcript is the heart of the application. If you’re going for CAS, you have a solid chance. Wharton will be a significant reach. Is the Math SAT II the level 2 test?</p>
