<p>Okay, sorry, that was REALLY obnoxious, I know, but I wanted to give you the whole nine yards.</p>

<p>I'm applying as a management major for undergraduate business, so my guess is they weigh leadership more heavily than if I were to apply perhaps as an English major or an Engineering major.</p>

<p>Please give me your estimates for the following schools:
University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) - Early Decision
Georgetown
Carnegie Mellon
UVA
Lehigh (Double Legacy plus two other relatives)
Boston College</p>

<p>Thanks! I appreciate the consultation!</p>

2

<p>(For Wharton)
Your SAT scores are a bit low, as are your SAT IIs, but your other stuff pulls it up. Definitely apply.</p>

3

<p>I agree your numbers are a bit low–my advice would be to focus on your leadership roles over things like music or generic community service experiences</p>

4

<p>How are you Going to put all that on Common app? They don’t have that much space</p>

5

<p>I think your ECs make you a good fit for Wharton, although your scores are a bit low</p>

6

<p>Please give me your estimates for the following schools:
University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) - Early Decision- mid to high reach
Georgetown- unpredictable (probably deferred or waitlisted)
Carnegie Mellon- low reach
UVA- low reach (assuming OOS)
Lehigh (Double Legacy plus two other relatives)- match
Boston College- match/high match
(daughter was accepted EA with slightly higher GPA and test scores)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
