Someone please reply. I am seriously worried.

3

Hate to say. Chancing is meaningless, especially for international students. Be patient, and good luck!

4

just a few more days!!!

5

I am still to apply for RD. Let me know if I stand a decent chance.

6

I do not have a lot of ECs, but my business is gaining a lot of traction and I have a lot of business experience for an 18 year old from India.

7

Please let me know if I stand a decent chance

None of the students here can give a sound prediction for anyone, much less international applicant; however, your achievements do look impressive, so if I were you I would go ahead and apply.

9

Go for it!

10

Thank you…but if you had my profile, would you think about applying at Wharton?

Also, is it a trend in the US to start a business at 18? Because in India, it is damn difficult!

11

Please also suggest which other colleges I should apply to.

12

Honestly, it is not that unusual for US students to have small business start ups. What were your subject test scores?

As others have said, it’s hard to chance anyone, especially at an uber competitive school, but even more so for international applicants.

13

I could not appear for subject tests.

My business presently has a worth of $2million and it is just the beginning. It has the potential to be the next Fortune 500. It is not a small start-up!

That is my whole point.

Thank you.

@momofsenior1 please let me know what you think.

15

@nellyone what do you think about my application?

16

Obviously your start up is impressive. Will it be enough to get you into Wharton is anyone’s guess. Their own website says grades, test scores, and course rigor are the most important part of the application.

IMO, these chances threads are useless. The acceptance rate at Wharton is 8%. Only 19% of students are international. No one can tell you if you will be accepted.

There is no point obsessing about an application that has already been submitted. All you can do is wait and see. Hopefully you have match and safety schools on your list too.

PS. Your start up would need to add some zeros to make it onto the Fortune 500 list.

17

@momofsenior1 definitely mam! It does need more zeroes.

And this is the sole reason I want to get my education, since at 18, I am not competent enough for the Board! :frowning:

18

I haven’t submitted my application yet, am applying in RD. Do you have any tips?

19

@guptar436 have others read over your essays, don’t mention Locust Walk, don’t talk about ivy league reputation, make sure you talk about what you have to offer the university somewhere in your essay(s)

Should I write about my turnover and business worth in my application?
