<p>You still have a good chance. It’s an ivy, so you never know, but the only thing that I noticed was that you didn’t opt to take HL Math… and that’s sign. in accounting, but that’s not a large hindrance. I’d say its a reach - not that all of your stats aren’t great, but you just don’t know with an ivy. Good luck! you have a good chance.</p>
<p>^^we don’t have HL math at my school, haha 
thank you for the feed back</p>
<p>"I don’t think you’ll get in RD. You should have applied ED. "</p>
<p>RD is easier…</p>
<p>Cornell CAS stats can be found here:</p>

<p>Someone can now post a link to Penn CAS admit stats, then differences in admit chances/ profiles can be determined by all, without rhetoric.</p>
<p>Dfferences in % of class admitted ED also should be considered.</p>
<p>@tomhuu:
what makes you say that RD is easier?
ED has like a 31% acceptance rate, while RD is more like 15%. Of course I don’t have any other information, but still</p>
<p>Your GPA is more like a 3.78, not 3.88</p>
<p>Penn’s a reach.</p>
<p>I’ve definitely heard ED is easier to get accepted into… they have a much higher acceptance rate.</p>
<p>@The Government:
My school doesn’t take +'s/-'s into account when calculating GPA. If it did, then yes I would have a 3.78 UW.</p>
<p>You have similar stats to my friend who was admitted ea - though it’s always a reach, i think you can have some confidence.</p>
<p>Nothing really “pops out” and goes WOW, but you can change that I feel if you can craft some really good essays you can cover up some weak points by expounding on your strengths.</p>
<p>not quite “high” chances, but you’re no instant rejection either.</p>
<p>^^ I feel my essays were particularly strong, the only thing i’m worried about is i didn’t talk about a specific community, but penn as a whole 
thanks for your feedback!</p>
<p>Hey, you just chanced me!
Your stats are way better than mine! Anyway, I think you’ll definitely be in for Penn state, Wharton may be a reach for you, especially when you are Azn…</p>
<p>lol ummm i think i’d be in for penn state yes, but I’m not applying there.</p>
<p>UPenn is not the same as Penn State.</p>
<p>Don’t let people tell you otherwise… If you want to go to business school, apply to Wharton, not to the Penn CAS, and your chances are just as good at getting into Wharton as they are any other school (well, okay, you’ll get into Nursing, but yeah). Your scores are better than mine were, and the fact that you’re a two sport varsity athlete gives you a leg up. Don’t expect to get in, but don’t expect to get rejected either; you’re in the range and your extra curricular activities show a little more of your character than the average applicant.</p>
<p>I think your SAT score (the 2220), your sports activities, and your essays (if they’re as good as you say) are definitely the standouts of your application. Penn is still a reach though, and Wharton especially will be extremely difficult to get into. Aside from being well written, did you make your essays unique, and do they really reveal a lot about your personality? If your essays hit those three points, I think they could potentially make up for some of the numbers that might not be as good (because after all, an individual can’t be defined by only their scores and grades, as important as those are).</p>
<p>I don’t live in New York, so I don’t know how this regents thing works, but do you have to send in all of your scores? If not, then I would highly suggest suppressing the 72.</p>
<p>The regents are on the transcript. Thanks so much for the comments! </p>
<p>I do think my essays revealed a lot about me and my unique background/experiences.
@Chrisw: do you go to Penn?</p>
<p>You have reasonable test scores, but nothing that stands out so it may be tough. If your essays and letters of rec are outstanding though, I think you’ll have a shot.</p>
<p>
agreed</p>
<p>
false</p>
<p>Your ECs: Check.
Your Essays: Plus (after reading your Chicago ones)
Your Grades: A bit on the meh side, but I think your high marks offset your low marks. I’d give this a little bit of a hesitant check
Your SAT scores: Low against the average. This might hurt you =/</p>
<p>If you get recruited, it’d be a huge boost. If not, I’d have to say a low-mid reach. =/ Don’t feel bad. Ivys are a reach for everyone.</p>
<p>HonorsCentaur, yes I go to Penn. I’m a junior right now.</p>
<p>ChoklitRain, the reason I say that one’s chances of getting into Wharton are just as high as getting into the other schools, provided he wants to go to business school, is that the skills desired by Wharton are very different from those desired by the College. HonorsCentaur has the skills that would make him a good candidate for the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business: he has very strong math scores, foreign language proficiency and already has done significant work with that foreign language; he has strong academic credentials, and the fact that he has been able to maintain an A-/A average while doing varsity sports in all three athletic seasons is significant. It shows that he has good time management skills as well as a general idea of what he wants to do with his life. He is a terrific fit for Wharton and a better fit for Huntsman, but I would argue that he is not a good fit for Engineering. Though he has done well on his mathematics, he said straight out that he loathes physics, which is a principal aspect of the Engineering program. In addition, even the College may not be a good fit by itself since its programs focus more on the theoretical side of things than the practical side, and he makes himself seem like a rather practical/statistical kind of guy (I, on the other hand, enjoy theory and practical research but see no real need for the kind of practicality Wharton offers as undergraduate; to me, that is what professional school is for!).</p>
<p>Remember that Penn places great value on “FIT” and less on cookie-cutter perfect students. That is why they reject several dozen valedictorians each year yet accept people like me, who didn’t get a single A senior year of high school. What I lack in pure academic power I make up for in leadership ability; I showed leadership ability in my application by highlighting my work as the assistant manager of a swim club with 300 member families, my position of editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and as a senior year “Kairos” retreat leader. Lo and behold, I currently hold the position of store director at Penn Student Agencies (student run business) and Publicity Manager of the Penn Glee Club, and I led the Penn Newman Center’s COR retreat this year and will lead it again next year. My grades have stayed true to my high school grades… mostly Bs with a spattering of As and Cs. And believe me, there are more than a fair share of Wharton kids who have far less academic ability than even I do.</p>
