<p>i actually like this chance profile more than others. and i am especially drawn to you playing lacrosse (i like it when asians.. especially the chinese.. play a sport dominated by white and black people). although you are lacking leadership positions, i think your awards look impressive. thus, i think you have a good shot. but i mean it doesnt really matter what i say cause theres nothing much you can really do at this point to help your stats (im assuming you are a senior)</p>

<p>Thanks! anymore? Hopefully from some Whartonites!</p>

<p>145 views and no chances? bump!</p>

5

<p>bump…</p>

6

<p>last bump before i let this thread die. Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m really envying your ECs, but I’m not so sure about your GPA/courseload which seem pretty weak…but your ECs are HYPSM level IMHO.</p>

8

<p>Lol thanks, uh my courseload is the msot rigorous available at my school hence the lower GPA</p>

9

<p>I think your relatively lower GPA will be overlooked because your awards are so impressive.</p>

10

<p>If you had some leadership and could get top 10.
That’s the only weakness in your app. (At least, that is if your school is as competitive as you make it sound. My school is ranked, we send a few kids to Ivies, but if you try in school, it’s difficult to be outside of the top 8%. Class of 775. So your GPA looks and sounds low.)</p>

11

<p>rank and gpa definitely hurt, but you could be bailed out by your 35 on the ACT. I’d say you have a solid shot, given your diverse profile. Essays will make or break you.</p>

<p>I like your chances as well and I feel that your BUSINESS awards are what wharton is looking for
btw… I am also a hoping for Wharton… could you chance me as well?</p>
