<p>Yet another annoying thread of “what are my chances of Wharton”.</p>

<p>I go to a competitive public high school (troy high school) in Michigan. I am a caucasian male.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that if I apply here I will most likely use Early Decision (ed).</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA- 3.921…(unweighted)
Rank:Top 10% (school doesn’t do ranks other than this)</p>

<p>Test Scores- 32 ACT composite, 2140 SAT (760 M, 700W, 680 CR, plan to retake and get to 2200+) SAT II’s: taking on october test math IIC, biology (molecular), and chemistry, probably near or exactly 800 on math/bio and mid/high 700s on chemistry based on practice tests</p>

<p>AP Tests (so far):
Chem/Bio/Euro Hist: 5
American Hist: 4
English Comp: 3 (will retake, not that it will matter at this point)</p>

<p>Will be taking about 6 more AP courses this year if schedule works out (6 classes per year)</p>

<p>Junior Schedule:
Bio AP
Euro AP
Honors pre-calc
english honors/ap (one each semester)
Chem AP
Spanish 4</p>

<p>Ideal Senior Schedule (I shall know tomorrow if it works out with availability):
Phys C AP
Spanish AP
English 12AP
Government AP/gym (each half a year, need that second semester gym req.)
Econ AP
Calc BC AP</p>

<p>Extra Curricular Activities:</p>

<p>Debate (10th/11th): This is my primary extra-curricular activity that occupies most of my time, it involves several hours per week of work as well as a tournament almost every weekend for the entire first semester and the begging of the second semester. I have won various speaker awards as well as awards for excelling at tournaments.
I also hold the treasury position in this club.</p>

<p>Quiz Bowl (10th/11th): Treasurer of this club as well. Have won various team awards at tournaments though nothing that great.</p>

<p>Math Club (9th/10th/11th): Top 1000 in state (mmpc) for 9th/10th grade, top 200 for 11th. Participated in amc all three years and qualified for aime once, got a 3, not too impressive. Also was on state winning mml team.</p>

<p>Future Problem solvers (10th/11th): Regional winner and state qualifier.</p>

<p>National Honors Society: we all know what nhs is I hope</p>

<p>Chess Club (9th-11th): Treasurer, though I may not even include this on app because it’s a little excessive.</p>

<p>National Spanish Exam: Third in school, highly unimpressive, added here at bottom because long posts look cool, haha. </p>

<p>Yea… that’s it… go ahead and post away.</p>

<p>Oh yea, forgot to mention, attended to summer de*bate camps. One lasted for four weeks and the other for three weeks. **Much of this **p*ost will boost my primary ec.</p>

<p>In addition, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would take the time to pass some sort of judgement here.... Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>your scores are great...much better than mine</p>

<p>but top 10% may hurt, i dont know</p>

<p>and ur ECs are not bad</p>

4

<p>I'd say you have a very good shot ed; don't think not being in the top 5% will hurt you much, if at all.</p>

5

<p>I meant by top 10% that our school does not delineate any further, even whoever is the top would have "top 10%" written on their app, but yea, thanks for boosting my confidence slightly.</p>

<p>ohh
if it says "top 10" as in ur school does not deliineate any further,</p>

<p>then you're good to go</p>
