<p>I will be applying to Penn for Fall 2006 and i wanted an honest opinion on my stats. I graduated HS in 2003 with a very poor gpa, rank, and SATs (i basically got rejected from every college i applied to). I didn’t try at all during high school and didn’t take anything seriously. I took a year off after graduation and worked full-time and finally got a wake-up call. I enrolled in community college the next fall in 2004. Did pretty well, 3.8 cumulative gpa (but with one W each semester). During community college, I applied to Rutgers and Temple (got rejected during high school) and got accepted into both for fall 2005. I entered Rutgers for fall 2005 and completed 12 credits with a 3.875 gpa (but once again with a W, should’ve completed 15 credits).</p>
<p>So I was wondering if I should even try applying to UPENN since my HS credentials are so poor, and I was also wondering if the W’s will matter that much. Do I even have a slight chance? Also, most of my classes are from a business-core curriculum and I would really want to apply to wharton. If that is too far-fetched, I would apply to the College at Penn as an Econ major. Also, I will be applying as an incoming sophomore because I will not have enough credits to be considered a junior by next fall. Any comments or suggestions would help. Thanks.</p>
