<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>you have a decent shot. the only thing is that your math II is fairly low and your sats are decent. its up in the air for me.</p>

3

<p>You're not in, but you're not out. Good luck.</p>

4

<p>that was very insightful ______________________________________</p>

<p>Millhouse is not a meme, but Millhouse is not a meme is a meme.</p>

6

<p>For a minority, I think you have a great chance.
Though its a bit odd that your Math IIC isn't above 700, even though your SAT Math is.</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot, but Wharton is a stretch for everybody.</p>

7

<p>You're a very competitive candidate, but beyond that it's hard to say anything. (I hate that that's usually my response, but it's true.)</p>

8

<p>Where do you attend school in NJ?</p>

9

<p>hey buddy.</p>

10

<p>you remind me of a farmer who likes to tow through fields</p>

11

<p>if you had an 800 Math2 and 800 on SAT1 math I would say in. but right now i think you're probably out.</p>
