<p>I have around a 3.3/4.0 gpa and applying to wharton. i have a 30 act and i am incredibly inclined to go to stern. I got a 730 on Math II SAT.</p>

<p>i went to gov school for health care over the summer and wrote a research paper on reducing health care costs, one of the only students. im president of student council and on the board of school directors (represent 12,000 students in the district).</p>

<p>My most important activities would be organizing a basketball tournament in 2005 to raise over $10,000 and changing school policy, which is persuading the school board to use the PSSA (pennsylvania state test) as a graduation requirement through a seven-month statistical analysis. How much would these examples of leadership help? </p>

<p>I'm also getting my superintendent (wharton alumni) to write me a letter of rec. on attesting to my help to the school board and persuading them.</p>

<p>Can these activites and such offset my low gpa and test scores?</p>

<p>Thankssssss.</p>

<p>They can, but there is no guarantee. I think you would have a much better shot at CAS than at Stern.</p>
