Wharton School - Early Decision

<p>I'm a rising senior (Asian male), and I'm considering applying to Wharton through ED, potentially the Huntsman Program. Given these qualifications, what are my chances? </p>

<p>Academics </p>

<p>GPA: 3.98 unweighted (only one A- in high school)
Rank: 2/316
APs: APUSH (4), AP Bio (5), AP Psych, AP Lang and Comp, AP Stats, AP Chem (these scores have yet to come out yet),
I have taken the most rigorous course load offered by my school and also skipped multiple years of science classes. </p>

<p>Extra-Curricular Activities</p>

<p>Speech and Debate (9-12): 2 time state finalist (top 10 in state) in congressional debate, 2 time national qualifier in congressional debate, national semifinalist (top 60 in the nation) (2013), team captain
Mock Trial (11-12): State Qualifier, Best attorney in regional competition, participant at Empire Mock Trial (international mock trial competition)
Student Government (9-12): Senator (9), Service Commission Head (10-11), Secretary (12). I was in charge of running our annual thanksgiving food drive for 2 years in a row, benefiting 14 local families.
Interact Club (9-12): Board Member (11), Treasurer (12)
Tennis (Varsity 9-12): State quarterfinalist (9), Northern Lakes League Runner Up (10), League Champions (11), Team Captain (12)

Volunteer at local Chinese Association
Accepted to Yale Young Global Scholars Program in New Haven for a 2 week Grand Strategy Seminar
Science: 2 time state science day qualifier, recipient of best overall microbiology project twice at district science day</p>

<p>Standardized Testing </p>

<p>SAT: 2210 (700 Writing, 710 Reading, 800 Math)
SAT II: Bio (M) - 790, US History - 760, Math 1 - 750 (I am taking Math II next fall)
PSAT: 214 (commended for sure in my state, most likely semifinalist based on past trends)</p>

<p>Based on average-slightly above average essays and good teacher recommendations, how are my chances of acceptance into either Wharton and/or the Huntsman Program through ED?</p>

<p>You have a good chance due to you great class rank and the immense load of extra-curricular activities you have done. The only thing that might hurt you are the number of APs (although they are good, Wharton’s very competitive) and possibly the SAT score. A 2300 would definitely boost your chances.</p>

<p>Thanks! What about the huntsman program? I heard that’s extremely competitive</p>

<p>I think your test scores are a little low for wharton school, i heard most applicants are 2300+</p>
