Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone, i would greatly appreciate any feedback or chances on the colleges i hope to apply to. Sorry for the long post!
Our school has a weird system in which some classes are called honors but one still takes the AP, if I take the AP and pass do the colleges weighted GPAs add 1.0 or .3 boosts to these classes? Our school only has a .3 boost so I will be basing my gpa on that.
Male, Junior (just thinking ahead to next year)
GPA:
9th UW: 4.05 W: 4.1
10th UW: 3.8 W: 4.12
11th UW: 3.9 W: 4.67
I attend a very competitive private school in So. Cal and my rank is top 10% although school does not rank. I am the only student taking 6 APs in the school this year and have taken the most rigorous course load possible. I will have taken 9 APs by the time I apply and will be taking another 3/4 senior year. My Junior Schedule is as follows:
AP US History
AP French Literature
AP Calculus BC
AP Studio Art (Photography)
Honors Brit Lit (We still take the AP Lit exam)
Honors Chem (We still take the AP Chem exam)</p>

<p>Scores: The scores listed are based on what I took in 10th grade with my projection in parentheses
SAT: Math 800, English 680, Crit Reading 620, (Math 800, English 780, Crit Reading 700)
PSAT: (I am 99 percent sure I got National Merit Semifinalist with a score of around 2260)
APs: Euro 5, Calc AB 5, Bio 5, (Projecting all 5s with maybe one 4 for the 6 I will take this year)
SAT IIs: Math IIC 800, Bio 740 (Will take Chem, US)</p>

<p>Thx, is the application for UPenn same as for Wharton, because I plan on studying business for my major so would it be more difficult to get in or no?</p>

6

<p>How exactly did you manage a 4.05 UW GPA?</p>

7

<p>An A+ in one class, this is all including A+s And A-s as seperate from As if it were both become As then id have 4.0 across the board for unweighted</p>

8

<p>bump… please anyone else???</p>

9

<p>bump bump bump</p>

10

<p>UW usually doesn’t go above 4.0, because A+ and A is 4.0</p>

<p>Wharton requires a supplement along with your commonapp. I believe it was my most painful app.</p>

11

<p>By wharton requiring a supplement do you mean in addition to the U Penn supplement or just the U penn supplement… can someone’s chances be impacted by whether they apply to Wharton or U Penn?</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me :slight_smile: Now to return the favor.

<p>Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT will pretty much be a reach for everybody. You could have perfect scores on all your tests, be valedictorian of your class, and still not get in. But then again you could have a 2000 on the SAT and be in the top 25% and manage to get in. It’s basically whether or not you “fit in” there. in general you should be a strong competitive applicant though, so best of luck. I hope your SATs do turn out as you predict also. Consider taking the ACT as well, I found it a lot easier than the SAT, and it showed in my scores. 2000 on the SAT vs. a 34.25 on the ACT (2300 SAT converted). If you ar good at math and science, take the ACT; trust me. Best of luck.</p>
