<p>looks solid. i'd say you're in probably at chicago & nyu. but wharton, who knows?</p>

<p>If you can show that you're really committed to one of your EC's you should be in good shape.</p>

<p>Thanks, anyone else?</p>

<p>Anyone else</p>

<p>Excellent at chance at NYU. But I'd say its a tossup at Chicago at Penn. For Chicago, as long as you're within their range for SAT's and GPA, it's all about the subjectives - essays, recommendations, interview (if applicable). For Penn, you don't have any EC's that make yourself stand out among the rest of the applicants and Wharton is very selective. It all rests on how you present yourself in your application.</p>

<p>what high school do you go to?</p>

<p>Milton high School</p>

<p>Wharton looks good IF you did well in your math scores and math examinations. I was just admitted to Penn College this year and I know that I was not going to apply for Wharton because the people who get in are keen and focused on their desire to pursue business. They've done well in math, and they can point to that success on their application. See how you fall into that category. Also, if you have any international elements to yourself or anything you've done-emphasize that-it'll give you a different perspective and show you can bring a new vision to Wharton.</p>

<p>Can anyone else post something</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are at Emory University to?</p>

<p>Someone post something.</p>

<p>To reassure you, you have a good chance at all of your schools. For the more selective ones, it's going to come down to how good your subjectives are.</p>

<p>Anyone else can post something</p>

<p>Post something</p>

<p>Im applying ED at NYU-Stern.</p>

<p>I think you are in at NYU RD anyway, so I would actually apply ED to Wharton. As a current MBA, I can tell you that Wharton offers a better experience overall and is better known.</p>

<p>Just for the heck of it apply to other top undergraduate buisness programs if you aren't content with Chicago, Penn, or NYU. I recommend University of Michigan (Ross) - good safety school, MIT (Sloan), and UC - Berkeley (Haas).</p>

<p>Ross will not be safety IMO from what I have heard. Since Mich will be accepting students directly into Ross for the 1st time next yr, it will not be a safety. I think its competitiveness will be comparable to NYU Stern. </p>

<p>I would say Ross would be a match for the applicant. </p>

<p>Berkeley may even be a reach (b/c of out of state). Keep in mind for Berkeley that you are not admitted immediately into their program...it is not until jr yr & only 50% are accepted at that point.</p>

<p>Stern is my first choice anyway, so ill prob. apply ED.</p>

<p>Mbha999 I'd say you have a fair shot at those schools. But don't be intimidated by Wharton. I was accepted to Wharton this year but waitlisted by Stern. That being said, I do agree that, for the most part, Wharton is the most selective of those choices.</p>
