<p>With your stats, you have very little chance of getting accepted at Penn, either ED or RD and even less chance of being accepted at Wharton. Of the rest of your list:</p>

<p>emory - High match
nyu (arts and sciences) - Low match
nyu (stern) - Reach
carnegie mellon - High match
cornell - Low reach
brown - Reach
georgetown - High match
UNC - High match (out of state)</p>

<p>There are plenty of schools where your stats would be competitive. Here's some schools you might want to consider. Higher matches are on the top, lower matches towards the bottom.</p>

<p>Bowdoin
Haverford
Macalester
Davidson
Colby
Colgate
Brandeis
Oberlin
Bates
Tulane
Hamilton
Grinnell
Bard
Wake Forest
Kenyon
Connecticut College
Boston College
University of Richmond
Univ. of Rochester
Lehigh</p>

<p>i dont agree with amptron at all...your stats are completely fine for wharton ED...3 people from my school got into wharton ED with SATs all hovering around 2100, and even LOWER SAT IIs...and your GPA is fine...ECs...lacking leadership, which is something wharton really looks for...all in all i'd say its a low reach if you go ED, reach if you go RD...don't be discouraged by the people who say you have a very small chance</p>

<p>oh thank you Def890 for encouraging me
but now im confused with what to do. lol
oh and you mentioned lacking leadership, but i thought my ECs had alot of leadership.. like ..all the choreographies i made, i had to teach it to about 10-20girls, and i founded breakdance club, and i was elected as community council and executive in gr.11... because only limited positions are offered in our school, it was quite a big thing that i had leadership positions in both gr.11 and 12..
...well but i guess it might not be enough leardership for Penn?
anyways thank you alot Def890 :) you made my day</p>
