Wharton chances

[pandaaa]

<p>I am on the fence as to whether I should apply or not because I don't think I am on par with the calibre of wharton students, but I really want to attend this school. Since the application process is a lot of work, I don't want to apply if I have no chance! Please let me know what you think. Thanks!</p>

<p>app doesn’t seem wharton caliber</p>

<p>ACT is low for an international and EC’s don’t stand out.</p>

<p>There are 40 Canadian freshmen at Penn. Wharton makes up ~1/5 of the undergrad population, so you’d expect around 8 Canadians to attend, maybe 10 or so to get in. I have a feeling the number is a bit lower in actuality. The odds are not good.</p>

<p>Your stats are on the lower end of the Wharton spectrum, although your course schedule and EC’s seem to indicate that you have an avid interest in business/economics. If you can reinforce that through your essays and rec’s, you might have a chance.</p>
