<p>Anyway,
Sat I: 1310… 660 math 650 writing
SAT IIS: Chemistry 690, Math IIC 640, … but… writing 540 (no idea what
happened there.) </p>
<p>SATs can be explained a bit as I was in a different curriculum. I’ve since really worked on my writing. Oh, also, for my SAT I, I was in the 95th percentile for every field except for the Analogies where I was in the 65th. Do you think they will take that into consideration?</p>

<p>Excellent essays as well as recommendations from my Italian teacher, macroeconomics teacher who is the director of one of the departments here, the founder of Fast-Track, the principal of my boarding school, and my educational consultant who is a graduate of Harvard and Columbia. </p>
<p>There are more things which just solidify all of this, but that is the general pictures.</p>
<p>Now, I’ve read some really conflicting things. Firstly, I have read that Wharton’s average transfer student has a 1330+ and a 3.6 GPA. Is there any truth in that? I am aware that it is incredibly competitive, but I still think that I have a decent shot. My recommendations where really amazing and I think that founding my own organization is laudable. Going to Italy for two years as also pretty unique. Heh, also, being a minority is also in my side in terms of class diversity. <em>Shrugs</em> </p>
<p>Thank you for any input.
This next month and a half or so will be hard to wait out.</p>
<p>I’ve also applied for transfer to McGill and to the Stern school.</p>
