<p>AldM1397 what did you think of the pre law program? And do you mean that you are signed up for the Wharton program for this coming summer?</p>

<p>I think with both of these, you are definitely showing that you know and are interested in Penn for academics and that is why you are applying not just for the prestige. </p>

<p>Parentofpeople the Law program was amazing. It was a great experience I met a lot of great people and got a taste of college life at the same time. Also yes I am enrolled in the leadership program for this coming summer. </p>

<p>That’s not an EC, just bragging. I wouldn’t put this down.</p>

<p>My son was a 4th generation Wharton grad. He had similar stats as you though his unweighted GPA was higher. I think you have a good chance if you can write good essays and have good recs.</p>
