<p>If I had to guess, I’d say you’re definitely in at Stern and very likely in at Northwestern. You’re competitive for Chicago as well. Of course, Wharton is a crapshoot for anyone. You’re probably going to be up against kids who have internships at Goldman and what not.</p>

<p>Yeah, Wharton is practically random draw.</p>

4

<p>why were you at community college?</p>

5

<p>^I’m assuming to earn extra credits so he can graduate earlier, a great idea if you ask me.</p>

<p>Regardless, I think you have a very strong chance with every school listed, including Wharton. Heck, I’m discouraged considering I’m also applying to NU for econ with stats that don’t compare to yours :/</p>

Correct. Also its MUCH CHEAPER, especially for general ed courses such as social sciences, languages, and history/government, etc. I pay $150 for a 3 hour course, transfer it to my state school, and hopefully transfer it to a private. I paid $150 for a $5000 course.</p>

Wharton lol… Nobody expects to get in. Its a $100 lottery ticket pretty much. Apply to NU! They accept a lot of people (relatively)! Thats why I am ;)</p>

<p>You have good chances everywhere.</p>

<p>Ace how do you know NU accepts a lot of people? I know they accepted about 340 transfers in 2008 but I believe they accepted around 250 the following year, if I’m not mistaken. Does anyone know have the exact number?</p>

I believe the acceptance rate floats around 15-20% varying on the year.</p>
