Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey. I am applying ED to Wharton and intend on majoring in finance. If I want to also receive a more liberal arts education on top of Wharton, I might get a dual degree (if my GPA is high enough)... probably in math. (I also have legacy at Penn). I was considering applying to the M&T program which I would love to be in but I heard that if you are rejected from the program, your chances of being admitted to your second choice school is hurt (If this is wrong please don't focus on it and please tell me my chances). Could you also chance me for Harvard and Yale (my second and third favorite schools besides Wharton).</p>

<p>White
Male
ACT: 34 (Math 36, Science 36, English 34, Reading 31, Essay 10)... I think this is a good breakdown for Wharton and it is a true representation of my skills
SAT II: Math II: 800 , Chem: 780 , Math I: 720 (in 9th grade so its practically negligable)
GPA (weighted): overall 99.3</p>

<p>AP:
Calc BC: 5
Calc BC (AB Subscore): 5
Chem: 5
European History: 4
U.S History: 4
English Literature: 3</p>

<p>Senior Courseload:
EPGY Multivariable Calculus
AP English Language
AP Spanish Language
AP Computer Science A
Economics/Participation in Government
Physics (AP Physics is not offered)</p>

<p>Resume:</p>

<p>Awards and Distinctions:</p>

<p>9,10,11,12th grade:</p>

<p>High Honor Roll</p>

<p>11, 12th grade:</p>

<p>National Honor Society
Harvard Book Award
Chemistry Award
Math/ Calculus Award</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:</p>

<p>Tennis
Playing since I was 3 (I want to play club tennis in college)
Varsity for all 4 years of high schools
Weekyl lessons and clinics
Played in USTA tournaments earlier in high school but nothing special</p>

<p>Golf (similar)</p>

<p>Clubs:
Investment Club (founder)
Math Club
International Club</p>

<p>Community Service
volunteering at a program where i served as a mentor and tutor to kids in elementary school (1th and 12 grades)
volunteering at a homeless shelter but I am more of a mentor to these students</p>

<p>My common app essay mentioned both of these activities and my Why Wharton essay mentions how I will continue with these activities in college.</p>

<p>THANK YOU VERY MUCH. </p>

<p>I worked at a hedge fund for 4 weeks over the summer.
I actually worked as an analyst and wasn't treated like scum.
This might help with Wharton (interest in finance)</p>

<p>It's a reach for everyone. You have a legit shot, though, especially cause of the legacy, the investment club, the internship, and the ACT scores.</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>bump again</p>

<p>im sorry i'm not familiar with Wharton at all...
but your application is very impressive so I would say you have nothing to worry about.</p>

10

<p>And a bump</p>

11

<p>Good chance. The legacy will help, and so will the internship.</p>

12

<p>Id say your probably the closest thing to a lock at wharton and according to the admissions officer i talked to said that if u get rejected for a duel degree u get put back into the pool with the other students and it should not effect your chances. she seemed sincere but i was a little skeptical</p>

13

<p>heh thanks. at least i think i can relax a bit now :P yea but the person i talked to said that your chances are hurt but w/e id probably die in that program anyway
any other comments?</p>

<p>I'm also applying to UPenn this year but not Wharton so I'm really not familiar with anything. I heard that it is quite competitive and you have to be highly qualified. But I do think that you have a fair chance. ACT scores look great, and I definitely think that your internships and work experience might help you a lot.
I think Harvard's admissions are the trickiest, craziest, and most unpredictable, so I would say it's a reach to practically everyone. They reject people with the highest scores and greatest ECs.
Thanks for chancing me!</p>

15

<p>It's a reach for anyone, but from what your stats look like, you've got a great chance!</p>

<p>Good luck! :D</p>

16

<p>As a legacy with your stats I'd be very surprised if you're not accepted to at least Wharton. I have seen many high stats legacies not make it into a joint program though, so I don't believe there's legacy preference for them.</p>

17

<p>i like yo chances dawg...lol haha (yeah i searched your threads to post this, so what)</p>

<p>but seriously, legacy means a lot to wharton so I think you have extremely good chances...I would be surprised if you were rejected</p>

<p>and its funny bcuz u have practically the same senior year courses as I do</p>

<p>oh, and just wondering are you from one of those East coast prep schools? just wondering cuz u play tennis and golf haha</p>
