<p>Strong application, but I would suggest doing something more unique/unusual to show why you want to go to Wharton. Do you like finance? Trade some stocks or even derivatives. Maybe get an internship. Interested in entrepreneurship? Start a small business.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot ED</p>

3

<p>thanks for the advice</p>

4

<p>if you had an A+ in AP Lang in 11th grade and did well on the AP, go for huntsman!</p>

5

<p>you will get in (75% chance)</p>

<p>LD debate?!</p>

<p>There is none in CT, and a very small showing on the nat circuit. What school do you go to?</p>

<p>How did you qual for nats when there is no district that is currently available within CT?</p>

7

<p>Hm, your courseload seems awfully similar to those of kids in my school. You sure you don’t live on Long Island?</p>

8

<p>My school is interestingly considered part of one of the new york diocese for debate because it is on the conn. border, and we were permitted to send kids to natls. to answer the other question i am very sure i do not live on long island.</p>

9

<p>Heh you had like exactly the same schedule I had in my four years… and you had SUPA classes which my school offers.</p>

<p>Anyway I think you have a good shot, but I agree with AstonMartin</p>

10

<p>would anyone happen to know how many SATIIs wharton requires</p>

11

<p>No school requires more than 4, so you’re definitely covered on that front.</p>

<p>you look pretty good… I think your in!</p>

<p>good luck</p>
