<p>You might not be as screwed as you think you are. I'd say it's definately worth applying, besides, all you'll loose is the app. fee anyway.</p>

3

<p>Doubtful. I don't see much that stands out extra-curriculars wise. But as with all Ivy League admissions, it's a crap shoot, so you may as well play the odds.</p>

4

<p>Yeah I don't really think much stands out either. But that's not really anything that I can change. Hopefully the right person just sees something they like at the right time.</p>

5

<p>I think EC is very good. Guys, what kind of ECs really stand out?</p>

<p>dsmo-
I think you're underestimating yourself; those are some pretty good stats & you definitely have a chance in my opinion!</p>

<p>Is wharton much harder to get in than SAS?</p>

<p>I don't mean to be cruel, but tons of more I guess "shoe-in" students were rejected this year on ED. Not even deferred. This isn't just look at stambliark's post or (at the risk of sounding egotistical) mine. My family donated for years, I have better stats except for my SAT2 Math score, legacy status, more extracurriculars and was rejected. Stambliark had massive charity fundraising efforts under his belt and was rejected as well, he even had a 1600.</p>

<p>Though if that's any indication of the randomness, you probably have a better shot!</p>
