<p>Hi, I am currently a junior in high school, but i know i want to go to Wharton, UPenn.
I have a pretty low GPA 3.5 (most likely 3.7-3.75 by senior year). I wanted to start a business, but I'm not really sure how to do it. I have a pretty good idea in mind, so if i sell it for royalty to a large company and it does well will it still have the same effect on my application as starting my own business?</p>
<p>Maybe post here:

<p>Good to see your entrepreneurial spirit but don’t bank on it. If it were that easy…</p>
<p>Also a 3.5 -3.7 severely diminishes your chances at Wharton, one of the most competitive programs extant.</p>
