<p>You seem to have a fair chance at both of them. Are you considering applying to either of them early because that would definitely give you a leg up in the process (especially at Wharton)</p>

3

<p>I was considering applying to Wharton ED, but am thinking of backing out because my essays are not as good as they could possibly be. Do you think I should still apply to Wharton ED with okay essays or RD with better essays?</p>

4

<p>NYU is stingy with aid. They won’t give you much aid. On the other hand, Wharton has a better reputation and is need blind. So, you might consider applying ED to Wharton itself.</p>

5

<p>I believe you would have a much better chance at Stern and would consider using the ED there if you can afford it.</p>

6

<p>Wharton ED.</p>

<p>Your stats well below the 25/75 ave. for Wharton (and Penn CAS for that matter), and you’ll need the ED advantage, to the small extent it exists. Work on your essays over the weekend.</p>

<p>One thing… for your Weighted GPA to be just a small amount higher than unweighted suggests you haven’t taken a lot of APs… is that correct?</p>

7

<p>The only APs I have taken are World Hist, US Hist, Lang Comp, Statistics, Biology, Physics C, Gov & Politics, Calc BC, Spanish, Lit, Macro and Micro.</p>

<p>Also, what do you think my chances are at Columbia and Georgetown? By the way I go to a pretty competitive high school in Long Island, NY where everyone is upper middle class.e</p>
