<p>idk im kinda freakin out :\ ive seen well qualified ppl get turned down</p>
<p>Your rank will be a major boost, your ACT is “kinda” low but not by much (only because your an asian female). The fact that I was too lazy to read all your ECs means that you probably have enough to impress the adcoms; just make sure on your application you focus in on some aspect to make yourself seem more focused and passionate (depth over breadth). If you want, you can definitely send me your essay so I can give you some feedback. Anyway, your chances are on par with anyone else, all it will take is luck now.</p>
<p>rly? idk when i asked at the meeting they said SAT or ACT in lieu of, and if you choose to send in ur SAT as ur main score, you send in all of your SATs, and conversely, if you choose to send in your ACT as your main score, you send in all of your ACT’s…
although i am aware that all of my scores end up on my hs transcript anyways, I just wasnt going to spend money to send in the official score…
im not sure, i’ll prolly send all of them in just to be safe, but my mom brought it to the university’s attention also
ahhh idk lol</p>
<p>that person is wrong. you can send your ACT in place of your SAT scores.
If you plan on sending SAT scores you have to send the reports for ALL SAT tests you’ve taken.</p>
<p>sorry to burst the bubble, but wharton is a definite NO. math sl = rejection in 99% of the time. you can go for it but youll be in the remaining 1%.</p>
<p>your EC is ok. I mean seriously? In future just list the ones with leadership positions. Your definitely gonna get into Penn because of your Church teen choir and Superior I rating for piano. Superior rating is like 2nd to last…</p>
<p>Top 3 would earn u a trophy.</p>
<p>Anyways, Test scores a tad weak for asians but Rank somewhat makes up for it. </p>
<p>Also, how in the world can ur school be in the top tiered if everyone is a “brink hs dropout and non pregnant girl” ? If its not private, it probably doesnt matter much.</p>
<p>haha it was definitely an exaggeration on my school we have like 1 pregnant girl out of 1500 kids and idk i just wanted to show that im involved with my church—its important to me…:
and for omea the division or w.e. my piano teacher signed me up for ranks superior, excellent, honorable or something along those lines (greatest to weakest) and within those ranks theres I, II, and III (greatest to weakest) again since i represented a private institution</p>
<p>obviously they will say that. they want as many ppl as possible to apply. just think abt it. wharton is the MOST prestigious undergrad business school and so ur math skills have to be of the highest order. therefore 100% you will be up against loads of ppl with math Hl.</p>
