<p>I'm going to be a junior in high school next year, and want to make sure I am on the right track to get into Wharton Undergraduate. Here are my statistics:</p>

<p>GPA of 4.3 (Weighted, school doesn't give out unweighted)
Rank of 26 out of 750
32 on ACT (This was with no preparation, hopefully can get a 34 next year)
Will have 4 years of cross country and 4 years of track
Will have 2 years of Spanish Honors Society (includes some volunteering)
Taking almost all honors and AP classes, by senior year will have taken AP: US History, Spanish, Calculus, Statistics, Physics, English 11, English 12, Micro and macro economics, US Governments, and physcology.</p>

<p>Given this information, what are my chances of making it into Wharton Undergraduate?</p>

<p>Your objective stats (ACT, rank, and course rigor) look like they are on par with Penn admits, but your ECs are incredibly weak. UPenn, and all the other top 10 schools for that matter, view academic excellence as a requirement. Loads of people can study their butt off and get good grades, but it’s the people who can achieve those scores while maintaining other meaningful commitments that get accepted. </p>

<p>Unless you’re leaving out some activities from your post, I’d agree with the above poster on your shot at Penn. That’s just my two cents though, and you should still apply if you really want to attend.</p>
