Does being young for your grade affect your chances in any way?(don't know if it will;the class of '10 is mostly born in 1992, while i was born in 1993).</p>

<p>Please tell me my chances at UPenn ED.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>If you do manage to get your SAT over 2150 before application deadlines, then you should be in pretty good shape. I also see some good ECs and skills. Since you are applying ED, then you seem to be a high match/low reach at Penn.</p>

<p>Chance me please! <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You have good grades and ECs, but if you are looking to major in math, perhaps you could do some activities math-related? Compete at local math competitions, join/start up a math club, etc. And do try and score high on whatever math SATs you are taking (go for 750+ on both sat1 math and sat2 math 2). And why aim for 1900 first time? Break the 2000 barrier first try and then 2200 after that =)</p>

<p>All things said, I think penn ED is a mid-reach for you (could easily become low-reach with good essays/recs), but then again penn is for anyone. Good luck!</p>

<p>anyone??????</p>

<p>It says I wanna major in math up there.
I actually wouldn't want to major in math if I got into wharton, but rather in something like insurance and actuarial science.</p>

<p>Why are you chancing people back? Why not just chance yourself if you feel good enough to chance.</p>

8

<p>you have a good chance but you are still just a junior with no concrete scores to work from..I think you have great ECs as long as your SAT is 2000+ and your essays are great (as are your Recommendations) I believe you will have a great chance</p>

<p>If you can match all your desired test results and apply ED to Penn (and write a wonderful Why Penn Essay) I think there is no reason why you should not be accepted. Being able to speak several languages is also, I believe, a major plus and is definitely unique. Your extracurricular activities are also solid. Good luck on your SAT test and everything else, aim high and you are sure to make it in.</p>

<p>Everyone graduating from Wharton is awarded the same degree: BS Economics. You do choose concentrations.</p>

<p>A competitive SAT score is 2250 with a minimum 750 in math. About half the class scores an 800 on the mathII. The competition is especially fierce among male Asian candidates. Find some ways to genuinely get across your interest in business.</p>

<p>What more kids need to understand is that if you don't have the super high stats, just apply to Penn CAS. You can take all the Wharton classes you want and even transfer if you have a good GPA. As an employer, I don't care if you have the Wharton degree if you took the right classes.</p>

<p>Well, your grades look good. If you can do as well as you are aiming for you definitely have a really good chance. If you can, just to be safe, you might want to try to get 2200+ on the SAT. Or if it is available to you, take the ACT. </p>
