<p>UPenn Wharton: Statistical Match</p>

<p>Rarely will I say this, but UPenn is a low match if you did an internship at Goldman Sachs and will get a glowing recommendation from a VP there. I don’t think UPenn can or will deny you, though it would still be smart to apply to a few safeties or other Ivies.</p>

<p>Just make sure you don’t send too many recs.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot, but in response to what Bubbles wrote, a vp at goldman isn’t going to make much of a difference frankly. That’s not a very senior position in finance. A lot of it will come down to your essay</p>
