Also predict MIT Sloan.

You are a qualified candidate for these schools, however, they also have many applicants like you. Your chance is probably around double of their admission rates.

I recommend actually going to some of these schools before applying haha. The names have a nice ring, but you may not like living at some schools for the next 4 years of your life. Also, you don’t play any sports or participate non-educational activities? You practically fulfill the Asian stereotype hahah. I suggest trying to come off as three dimensional. Write crazy good essays. And do things you love (outside of school).

Your stats are incredible and your ec’s are pretty impressive. The CEO and FBLA nationals will really help for Wharton and such. The only thing that I can see hurting you is the lack of a sport/coming off as well rounded

Thanks! bump

If you apply to all these schools most likely you get into at least one. Since these schools have many applicants like you start thinking of essay answers that will make you stand out. Schools like these, especially Chicago count on the essays you submit as a big factor in picking you over someone with similar stats. Don’t write what you think they want to hear, just be your creative self.

Wow great profile! I think you can get into any listed, however a few are iffy. Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford and Dartmouth take the best of the best. Its possible that there are better candidates and certainly many others like you. Otherwise I think you’ve got a fantastic resume. Good luck!

Chance me please! I’ll chance back!
