<p>This year I am taking 3 AP courses and will try to maximize difficulty in courseload throughout high school. My dad is an alumni of UPENN Wharton.Do you think I have a legitimate chance.Thanks for responding I really appreciate your time and consideration.</p>

<p>your in 10th grade, we cant chance you yet, you barely have any grades and a lot of people will start doing terrible junior/senior year and you just started 10th so maybe bad this year</p>

<p>You are on a good start. Work hard and you could get it. As far as chances - have more schools than one to choose.</p>

<p>thx for the input. i was just wondering if i was on a good track so far. what should i emphasize to maximize my chances</p>

<p>Demonstrate leadership. Continue academic excellence. Be authentic-Do what you love, find new things you love it doesn’t matter but be able to speak or write from the heart about stuff.</p>

<p>Honestly… stay up with the sports. My son’s H.S. teammate just got into Cornell with a 3.7 or so and 1500+ on the SAT’s. As far as I know, did not pass an AP test. How? Great athlete. Your skills might give you a hook into a school of your choice.</p>
