Wharton, Cornell ED and Others

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm going to be a senior next year. I want to apply to apply early decision either to Cornell Dyson AEM or to Wharton. </p>

<p>Other schools I'm considering are Boston U, NYU Stern, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Tufts University, UChicago, and Duke. </p>

<p>SAT: 730CR, 740M, 730W, composite: 2200. (1st time I got a 2010).</p>

<p>My extracurriculars include:
1. Playing the piano for over 12 years (winning awards state and region wide, the competition is recognized by all colleges, I will probably be submitting an audition tape)
2. President of a stock investment club that I founded since the end of sophomore year. We hosted a school wide competition and gave out prizes.
3. Secretary/VP of a Chinese cultural club I help founded junior year
4. Science Olympiad contestant (won state last year with team, placed in events, attending nationals)
5. DECA/FBLA (placed in state)
6. Volunteer (over 100+ hours at library by end of senior year, help manage reselling discards of whole district)
8. Help run, manage, and micro-finance a small food business of a young couple
9. Starting own non-profit/business this year
10. President of SkillsUSA
11. Bank of America Student Leader</p>

<p>Most of my clubs I have been participating since freshman or sophomore year. I might be officer of another club next year.</p>

<p>My recommendations should be decent to excellent and my essay will probably be decent (optimistically haha). </p>

<p>I will probably major in finance.</p>

<p>Should I early decision Cornell or Upenn? I would be happy with both, but which would be more likely to accept me.</p>

<p>Thanks again! (Catria you don't have to chance me again haha)</p>

<p>… those were your estimated SAT scores. What about GPA? Also estimated?</p>

<p>What is your REAL unweighted GPA? Hard to tell without knowing more.</p>

7

<p>Yep those were my “predicted” sat scores which were surprisingly close to my real one. As of now my uw GPA is 4.0 but I do have a difficult class next year. Nice attention to detail</p>

8

<p>Oh whoa I just realized I didn’t put GPA. I have 4 and weighted 4.8 with multiple ap classes</p>

<p>Boston U - safety
NYU Stern - safety
Tufts - match
Duke - low reach
UChicago - low reach (write good essays)
Cornell AEM - low reach
Columbia - reach
MIT - high reach
Harvard - high reach
Wharton - high reach</p>

<p>I have to respectfully disagree with opnogod about this. High reach means barely a chance in hell. I think the OP has a decent shot at the most selective schools, good GPA and ECs. My opinion- BU, NYU- in.
Tufts, Duke, Uchicago, Cornell- High match ->lowish reach. (with good essays)
Columbia, MIT, Harvard, Wharton- Reach, but decent shot.</p>

11

<p>I should also be first for my class rank. I can’t believe I omitted all this stuff sorry about that. Thank you for the responses so far</p>

<p>We have very similar stats and also a similar school selection. Dyson AEM is one of my top choices too! I’d say you have a pretty legitimate shot at it (id call it an attainable ‘high match/low reach’). Just make sure your essays are unique and not the typical, “I’m applying because I want to work on Wall Street”. Beyond that, just keep doing what you’re doing.</p>

<p>Considering were relatively similar (at least in my opinion) with respect to our extracurriculars and school choices, I’d be curious to hear what you think of my chances.

14

<p>youre in at nyu… </p>

<p>but your sat is a bit low for the top tier ivies… wharton goes in there… i like your ec’s as well…</p>

15

<p>i think if u apply cornell ed ull get in… so that might be wise</p>

16

<p>Oh thanks for the input</p>

17

<p>Do Cornell early, Wharton is just very hard and I think you will get into Cornell. With Wharton you never know.</p>

18

<p>Yeah im leaning a little more toward cornell right now haha.</p>
