<p>Sooo what are my chances for UPENN or Stanford?? What do I need to do to further improve?</p>

<p>Wharton: Reach
Stanford: Reach</p>

3

<p>both reaches but you have a decent chance they are both incredibly selective</p>

<p>Is there anything I am missing or should add on. I really dont have a good extracurricular that really ties my interests of business or medicine.</p>

5

<p>What can I do to make these “reach” into “match”</p>

6

<p>If you’re really asking that question, then you don’t know anything about these schools. They are reaches for everyone regardless of what you do (Penn can sometimes be a low reach if you’ve done a lot but since you’re looking at Wharton it’ll always be a reach). I’d say apply to the one you most dearly want to go to. Stanford doesn’t have a undergraduate business school and Penn has a nursing/Wharton dual degree program. Overall you don’t have anything that stands out and nobody can really TELL you what sort of EC will make your application. Best of luck</p>

7

<p>Anyone else??</p>

8

<p>You are clearly a top student but you have nothing in common with Wharton. Why don’t you apply to Upenn’s engineering or nursing schools? You seem to be more of a science person than business person.</p>

9

<p>I want to do pre-med but as for a major I want to major in business. That’s why I’m applying to Wharton. Even though I am good at science, I am very interested in math and economics. I will be taking AP Econ senior year.</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance. Not great, but certainly not below average either.</p>
