<p>Hello,
I am deciding between Penn CAS or Wharton. My school is a feeder school to Penn and can pretty much guarantee me a spot at CAS, SEAS or Nursing. However, I love finance and I would love to apply to Wharton, but I don't know if I am good enough to take the risk. I have a strong upward trend and I repeated my Sophomore year at a private feeder school (I've asked the penn rep, they don't mind as long as I do better). So here goes...</p>

<p>Hooks: I am a first generation immigrant and college, father was an illegal immigrant. He died of cancer when I was in 6th grade. My mother does not speak any English, I had to take care of the family business and my mother since then. We used my father's health insurance money to pay for my first year at Boarding School but was kicked out because we can't afford the next year. I then moved to the East Coast from California with my mother and my first Sophomore year I had a lot of family issues. Second Sophomore year a prep school gave me a scholarship to attend. My years before boarding school I lived in the ghetto (literally) and thats why I did not do so well at boarding school. Sophomore year 1 had a lot of family issues.</p>
