5

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Asian + Science + Tennis = Maybe
you're qualified but at some point the adcom will say "we have enough asian tennis-playing science whizzes". it would be nice if you had legacy or URM.</p>

lol wouldn't it be. but that's nothing i could do now is it</p>

8

<p>I think the origami club will get you in.</p>

<p>Just kidding. Why did you even bother mentioning it?</p>

9

<p>why not? cuz its a club and i will be the president woot
what about the others tho</p>

10

<p>You seem to be more interested in the sciences than business. Sounds like you should probably be applying to Penn's College, not Wharton...</p>

11

<p>no i will definitely not do science</p>

12

<p>bagels, when you get down to it, a finance/accounting is a lot of the same math as an engineering degree</p>

13

<p>i kno but i really dont' want an engineering degree</p>

14

<p>finance and accounting math is really not the same as engineering</p>

15

<p>how about my chances of getting into WHARTON??</p>

16

<p>science/math skills are very important for Wharton, and the math is not exactly the same but imo it's at the same level</p>

17

<p>If next year is anything like this year, then if you applied ED, you would most likely get deferred. @ RD, you can potentially get in, but you may get wait listed. On the bright side, your chances of an outright rejection is 0</p>

18

<p>^hahaha. thanks (not sarcastic) how can i improve tho?</p>

19

<p>Narrow down your activities, for one. Can you even keep track of all of the different extracurriculars in which you are involved? Focus on the one or two that you are most passionate about and make sure when you apply that you show (through essays and other things) how you can use your talents in these areas to benefit the University of Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>Sure, you've got high stats and loads of activities. But so do a lot of other people who apply, and if you read through the decisions thread you'll find that it's these types of people who usually get deferred or rejected, while the people who concentrate their time and efforts on one or two areas are usually more knowledgeable about the activities in which they are involved and are able to better demonstrate how their involvement in these activities has made them a better person who is more prepared for the future. It's one thing to be involved in a bunch of activities for the sake of having resume fluff; it's another to be involved in one which you really love and which actually helps you prepare for what you think you may want to do in the future.</p>

<p>Not trying to be a dick, just being honest. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>lol thanks. but all my activities *are *concentrated: sciencey and mathy >_<</p>
