<p>bump! .</p>

<p>lol, i think you and i both know that you have a 80% chance to get in to wharton, so i call it first you're most likely iN! (and trust me i'm not some idiot just saying that, i read through your entire post and i have stronly believe that with your 1570, and high sat ii scores, espicially writing, an array of great extra-curriculars) The only thing that may hurt you is that you only have 2 ap courses, chemistry and history, this is because colleges like to see that you have tried your best in exhausting all of the rigorous courses @ your high school. But that's of course why it says 80%...lol alright well hope this helps byee =)</p>

<p>well im realllly grateful for your support man, but honestly, competition is FIERCE. i got deferred from yale EA actually, originally i was thinking of doing ED to wharton, but at the last mintue i changed my mind. But anyway, back then people said i COULD get in, but to keep in mind that a lot of it is a crapshoot, and nothing is certain. But thanks for your support, its encouraging!</p>

<p>and the AP thing: actually my school doesnt offer that many, in fact i exhausted the APs for junior year, those were all that were offered. everything else was honors, but the school doesnt really offer that many APs to juniors.</p>

<p>bump! .</p>

<p>hey, no problem, i HIGHLY suggest you ask your guidance counselor to make a note in her letter to the admissions people that there are only several AP courses available at your high school, and that you HAVE exhausted them, just a word of advice so the admissions officers do not have any doubts like i did when i observed the only 2 ap courses.</p>
