<p>So I'm a Rising junior and I am basically dead set on going to Wharton at UPenn. I am a Black female from MD and I go to a magnet high school <1000 students. I don't have the best grades but I work really hard and I am planning on joining more EC's my junior year and volunteering this summer. I also take GT classes (the highest besides AP) in every class where it is possible. My SAT's aren't back yet but I should get around a 2000.</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
GT English: B--My teacher was pregnant and therefore, barely taught so we had this illiterate country woman who could barely speak english "because her parents were from North Carolina."
GT Geometry: A
Spanish 2: A
GT Biology: A
GT US Government: A</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
GT English: A
Pre-Calculus: B (only because of bad grade on final exam)
GT Chemistry: A
AP World History: A
Honors Spanish 3: A</p>

<p>Junior Year Schedule:
AP US History
Gt Physics
Ap English Language
AP Calc AB</p>

<p>Rank: 5/225 (Top 2%)
GPA: 3.7 UW, 5.2 W (as of end of Feb.)
EC's:
Basketball- 2 years so far but plan to do 4
Track and Field- 2 Years
SGA- Treasurer</p>

<p>Awards:
Student of the month 2x
Always on honor roll and some others I can't remember</p>

<p>SATs need to be at least 2100+ and preferably 2250+</p>

<p>So you guys only take five classes a year? or was that by choice? Truthfully 3.7 UW is pretty weak and ivy golfer was right, try for 2200+ for sure. Make sure if you ED, you know what you are getting into because your chances are probs not that great right now. Research the rigor of Upenn courses a lot, because if you do get in, you want to be sure you can handle the workload of a ivy league.</p>
