Low GPA and Wharton ED Thread!

<p>Yeah, I’m nowhere near the valedictorian of my class. I was just saying that I have the hardest courses other than perhaps one other student. However, that alone definitely isn’t sufficient to make up for my GPA.</p>

<p>3.85 unweighted, our school doenst have weighted, would that be a disadvantage?
act: predicint 32-33</p>

<p>Haha Yes I Am Recruited. I was thinking of applying for wharton but I don’t have a strong interest in buisness. I want to be a doctor.</p>

<p>Ugh. Does UPenn count 1st semester grades too if you’re applying ED…?</p>

<p>My first sem. grades aren’t looking that great… (projected 2 B’s out of 5 classes)</p>

<p>does upenn led u got to walden on fresehmen? or do you have to apply like in your junior year?</p>

<p>I sad Low GPA, not illiterate…</p>

<p>3.68 GPA, 1520 SAT, 35 ACT</p>

<p>Probably won’t get in. Only “hook” I have is being trilingual. But the rest of my EC’s…meh</p>

<p>^^HAHA, great! What is walden? I’m not a UPenn 2015 hopeful just cruisin’</p>

<p>@DumbitDown… that’s a 1600 scale right?
And what’s your class rank…</p>

<p>Yeah 1600 scale. I heard Ivies don’t look at writing…and my class rank is Top 25% barely haha</p>

<p>Then welcome to our elite club! :P</p>

<p>Good luck boys. One month until we’re doomed to community college =X hahaha…</p>

<p>))))))))))))))))))))))))):</p>

<p>Wait a sec, all of you guys who are putting down a 3.7 average GPA, are you guys counting an A- as a 4.0 or a 3.7?</p>

<p>For me-3.7</p>

<p>For me, A-, A+, A are all 4.0</p>

<p>… Top 10% of our school’s GPA = 4.00 ~ 3.97</p>

<p>yes. it’s a super smart competitive school. and i have a 3.8 flat…</p>

<p>I have a 3.5, and for me an A- is a 3.66, and A is 4.0. We have no A+.</p>

<p>3.7 UW, no idea what the weighted is bc my school won’t tell us but i’ve taken a crapload of Honors (10 or so) and APs (5 last year, 4 this year)
2170 SAT (680 C, 800 M, 690 W), 35 ACT
Ranked JUST outside top 5% of my 300+ person class (literally…im the first person outside of it).
pretty good leadership: 2 time editor of paper, drum major of marching band
lot of EC’s: marching band, jazz band, school paper, crew (have talked to penn’s LW and HW coaches about coxing, both were receptive and sent an email thanking me for applying and to keep them posted on decision. will that factor?), track, tutor for Spanish honor society. (almost all of those are either 3 or 4 years)
what do you think my chances at wharton (and jerome fisher too) are looking like?</p>

<p>Get the hell out of this thread.</p>

<p>Euroazn: do i have a low GPA? am i applying ED to wharton? what is the name of this thread?</p>
