<p>You can’t really give a likelihood of acceptance with only your GPA. There are many other factors that are equally important</p>
<p>First of all, you need to specify if that is an unweighted or weighted GPA. Secondly, I’m going to say it’s within range. That’s probably the average GPA for an accepted student at Wharton.</p>
<p>oopss sorry
i was thinking too quickly
uhh
2400 SAT
2700 SAT 2
7 5’s and 1 4 on AP’s
nationally ranked in a sport
5 high-leadership positions (captain/president)
2 lower leadership positions
uhh 1st place in Intel International Engineering Fair
two internships
a science publication
some minor all-county awards in music
that’s the basics
thanks guyss</p>
<p>unweighted</p>
<p>Thanks for the insight guys.</p>
<p>And poster above, I’m fairly certain you’re ■■■■■■■■. If you’re not, I apologize. For example, unweighted what exactly?</p>
<p>And I find it hard to believe that you can have 5 major leadership positions. What “leading” are you actually doing? At my school having more than 1 leadership position is a huge strain - I know people who find it extremely difficult being President of one club, and a minor role in the other. That just might be my school though, since for us, the clubs are actually entrusted to the student, with sponsors just there to sign off on any forms.</p>
<p>indianoptimist- why don’t you take a look at some of the results thread, people have up to 10 leadership positions, i’m not ■■■■■■■■ at all
you are right, my school is fairly small but contains many clubs, so its quite easy to have leadership positions
you should also take a look at the previous posts…UW GPA</p>
<p>All I’m saying is that having 10 leadership positions is essentially worthless. If you look at an actual application you’ll see that you’re required to put down an explication of what you did in each position as well as how many hours a week you work per leadership position. If you’ve got ten, I’m pretty sure that you’re making little to any impact on the EC that you’re involved in. Leadership just doesn’t mean having a position in an organization - you’ve got to actually make some sort of impact. </p>
<p>Why do selective schools value leadership positions? Because they want to nurture you to become real world leaders. Real world leaders don’t hold ten different leadership positions. </p>
<p>Forgive me if I’m being skeptical.</p>
<p>ok so I’m gonna shoot some of the SAT hype in the foot. My son’s friend got into Wharton with a 2040, but a 34 ACT, 4.07- top 10% and totally unhooked white boy. Rejected at UCLA, UCB only other choice was UCSB. Maybe being OOS was the clincher or perhaps the 34?</p>
<p>34 on the ACT saved him…the SAT and ACT are (wrongfully) treated as equal tests by the Ivy League now.</p>
<p>^where was he from?</p>
<p>I have a 2040 as well 
and I’m asian, from california. yay</p>
<p>but will a 33 ACT and 800’s in physics and math II make up for some of that? I mean, I’ve just never been a standardized test taker. I never study for them.</p>
<p>I have business, sport, music, and engineering EC’s. </p>
<p>will the low SAT put me out of the running? I really want to get into the m&t program, but that’s a total crapshoot. And hopefully wharton if i’m rejected from jerome fisher.</p>
<p>for my other stats <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/994226-please-chance-asian-m-t-ed-wharton-stanford-harvard-mit-ucs-others.html?highlight=capital+markets+contest[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/994226-please-chance-asian-m-t-ed-wharton-stanford-harvard-mit-ucs-others.html?highlight=capital+markets+contest</a></p>
<p>No, you definately have a good chance. I would argue its extremely likely that you get into Wharton, in fact. Honestly, I think Wharton is a bit overhyped on CC. I see kids here saying things like Wharton is more competitive than Harvard. However, it really isn’t. There definately is a slightly higher caliber among the Wharton students than among students of other schools at Penn. It’s not all that big of a jump between schools, though. I would argue that Wharton really is closer to Dartmouth (a GREAT, GREAT school) than HYPS (the best schools).</p>
<p>^ Completely agree. After going through results threads and talking to various people at Wharton about their stats, I have to say I felt a lot less stressed. Wharton is competitive, no doubt about it, but definitely less so than HYP. An unhooked Wharton admit last year had an 1800 SAT score! That is virtually unheard of at HYP.</p>
<p>Still, I could see myself turning down one of those schools for W (if I get in, of course). :D</p>
<p>after go through all the replies, i was stunned. I’m asian, and only came to US 4 years(i wish I could come earlier). my situation is kind different from u guys. I don’t have very high GPA, unweighted is 3.6 and weighted 4.1, also I have some leadership in clubs, but my SAT/ACT score is horrible( it’s below the average), because my weakness of english. I love Wharton, but i dont know what to do now, my score and GPA is not qualify, im still trying to improve my scores. Should i give up Wharton? </p>
<p>last, i really envy u guys!</p>
<p>Haha, it’s pretty incredible to see that this thread still exists after so long.</p>
<p>There is NOTHING like an optimum/realistic score to a university, or even a college or program in specific.</p>
<p>If you see admission or class profile stats for a college, you’ll see the 75th as well as the 25th percentiles. There are people above those who get in(and many who score more but still don’t get in!) and a quarter of the class getting accepted actually scored below 25th percentile. So maybe we should stop misinforming and in the process discouraging (or even encouraging) other hopefuls.</p>
<p>While that is true, most of the lower end scores come from athletic recruits most likely (no offense to athletic recruits). For most unhooked applicants, a higher score will help.</p>
<p>I agree with sahilchaudhry. My friend that got into Penn last year scored a 1980 on the SAT (international + fin aid). Another into Colombia with a 2020. They barely scraped 700 on their SAT IIs. There is NO such thing as an autorejection pile. It obviously helps to have a high score, but there is no point at which your entire application is ignored because of any SAT score. It is a subjective process not an exact science… a computer program does not enter criteria and weed certain students out…</p>
<p>It isnt the size that matters, but how you use it 
(totally unrelated I know lol)</p>
<p>Obviously i’m saying all of this to make myself feel better for not having a 2300+++++ score like 90% of CC…</p>
<p>Unless you can devise a way to score a 37 ACT or 2500 SAT, I suspect once you’re past 2100 other factors start to take over.</p>
<p>2210 SAT
3.9 UW
applying to Huntsman… do I even stand a chance? = =
and by business- related ECs do internships and jobs count as much as starting your own business? I had two internships as marketing assistant, one turned into a job later on, and one job at a law office as law clerk…</p>
