<p>BUMP</p>

<p>Oh, and for what it’s worth - my essays were pretty darn good (I thought it was some of my best writing) and neither of my parents went to college.</p>

<p>Please chance me!</p>

<p>What is the website URL?</p>

4

<p>Also, what was your Math ACT section? I heard that is all Wharton really cares about.</p>

5

<p>teen-game.com</p>

<p>35 on math</p>

<p>What’s the damage, doc?</p>

6

<p>I think that you’re pretty good! They really like businesses, and your ACT Math score is good. It really comes down to your essays and recs, but I think you should be fine. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>So I got deferred earlier - chance me for regular now?</p>

<p>Since then I’ve started a web design and marketing company, created a business model for a non profit organization to teach communication skills to teenagers in philly (I got the plan printed and bound, then I sent it to the admissions office), I DJed a school dance, I won first place at Gerogetown’s MUN conference - the most competitive in the nation, started coaching a team of 4 math students that will go to Singapore to compete in the worlds largest math competition (I couldn’t afford to go, so I’m only helping prepare them), and decided to intern at a marketing firm this summer.</p>

<p>Thanks guys!!!</p>

<p>bump! anyone?</p>

<p>Can you just wait 7 more days?:slight_smile: get your mind off penn for a while;)</p>

<p>you have a really good chance. One thing I don’t understand is your schedule. its rigorous, BUT Wharton is business orientated and yoga re taking Art History, Intro to Engineering (Honors?), and so on. I would’ve taken AP Macro, Accounting, or something pertaining to finance, because your schedule has maybe 2-3 classes about it. But you do have a ton of AP classes and great ap test scores, since many colleges take anything that is a 3+. Your ACT is good, you better have taken writing since I believe they want ACT + Writing or SAT w/ 2 SAT II Subject tests.</p>

<p>Mokarney - not all schools offer AP Econ, finance, and accounting classes - mine didn’t offer either econ class or finance or accounting classes this year. If OP is interested in Art history or engineering, it’s fine that he(she?) took those classes. Colleges would rather see kids take classes that they’re interested in than take classes that they think would look good to admissions officers.</p>

14

<p>Yes, Wharton is ok with you not taking any business-oriented classes. I took AP Econ, but did NOT take Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, etc…as they were all unweighted options.</p>

15

<p>I took both AP Micro and AP Macro (got 4s on both). And, while this isn’t listed above, I took a copy writing course from Appsumo.com’s lead writer Neville.</p>

<p>I think youll be fine good luck</p>

<p>too easy!!!111 hahah</p>
