<p>For the lolz, I am applying the Wharton ED.</p>
<p>White Male From Maryland
SAT I : 790 CR, 760 M, 710 W (Retaking in the fall... I am sure I can get at least my math score to 800.)
SAT II: 800 Math II, 790 Physics, 750 World History
AP Scholar with currently all 5's on the 10 AP Tests I have taken.
Unweighted GPA 3.6 (yeah, now you understand), Weighted 4.35
260 Service Hours, Will Probably Get Up To 300 By The Time I apply.
EC[s Include Captain/Founder Economics Challenge Team, Vice President Of Robotics Club, Co-Captain Of The Math Team.
I was an AIME Participant, Have won numerous programming competitions, and am also a national semifinalist for the Physics Olympiad. I also got second place regionally for physics Bowl.</p>
<p>Finally, I have done a summer internship at an IT firm, and next year as part of the Superintendent Student Leadership Program, will be interning at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.</p>
<p>This probably isn’t the sort of school to ask this (as Whartonites tend to think that their’s is the only business school… for good reason guys, for good reason…) but any suggestions as to what other schools to apply to as well? My current career goal is actually quant.</p>
<p>Class rank? If no class rank, do you have an idea approximately where 3.6 at your school lies? Are there many students applying from your school? I think you have a very good chance for ED.</p>
<p>If you feel like Wharton is your number one choice by far but you’re unsure about yourself, then ED would be a better choice because they’ll take into consideration your desire to want to go there. </p>
<p>You have good test scores and nice ECs; the only weak spot is your gpa. Get good recs and write a great essay, but I’m sure you already know that :]</p>
<p>No, I think if Wharton is your first choice, apply ED. I think if you are on the cusp, it is better to apply ED. Just another quick thought, with your stats and ECs, you have a better chance for SEAS, but if Wharton is what you want, then that’s what you have to do.</p>
<p>Still think you should apply ED if Penn is your top choice. If they want to see your senior year grades, they will defer you but still you have already signaled to them that Penn is #1 by applying ED.</p>
<p>20-25%? I’d estimate quite realistically 50%. Also, the graduating class my year was 665. Your class has to be larger so lets estimate 700. I think about 13 kids apply per year unless something changed since last time I checked. You can see trend yourself off naviance. You learned nothing new here. Your gpa blows but you are an outstanding candidate - write solid essays, let me review them, and apply ED.</p>
