<p>What are my chances for Wharton ED??
how about Penn CAS??
I think my ECs are a little bit weak especially toward business related activities and I am too afraid to apply for Wharton because acceptance is much more competitive
And I took summer courses in Penn and instructor (Penn graduate student) of the course
agreed to write me a glowing recommendation, would this help??
He has a really good impression of me because it was a six-week real college course and I did really well even though I had to compete with actual Penn students, some rising juniors</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Great stats. As far as your EC’s go, I feel what would determine your success would be how you present yourself within the requisite essays. Therefore, I encourage you to apply to Wharton ED if that is what you truly want from Penn. </p>

<p>Oh, and a recommendation from a Professor would help. I don’t know if it would make a tremendous difference, but it’s not a negative, so go for it.</p>

<p>Seeing your username, you must have upenn as your #1 choice, ED would REALLY REALLY help, because many people with impressive stats like your just apply to all the top ones and hope for the best. Just write a good essay and you will have an amazing shot!</p>

<p>Since you don’t live in the US, I’ll assume you’re an international. You’ve got all the right academic stats and EC’s, but being an international student will make it harder. ED might make it a little easier.</p>

<p>^ I second that. Also, which country are you from specifically? Are you applying for financial aid? Being an international applicant that’s neither Canadian nor Mexican applying for aid can never work for you.</p>
