<p>I applied to Upenn (Wharton) under early decision. With these stats do you think I will get in or maybe deferred?</p>

<p>SAT
Verbal: 680
Math: 710
Writing: 720
Math subject test: 660
History subject test: 640</p>

<p>cumulative QPA: 4.3
ranked 22 of 538</p>

<p>White male, one of four children including a twin going to penn state next year</p>

<p>student government treasurer and past vice president for two years
lead trumpet player in three band ensembles
varsity wrestler all four years
walk on varsity football player (letterman) in my senior year (wrote a good essay about this, the parting of my life in music into athletics)
Volunteer at church youth group and nursery
National Honors Society member for 2 years
9 AP's, seven this year (All A's so far) got a 4 on the english last year and a 3 on the history</p>

<p>national merit semi-finalist and pending finalist.</p>

<p>I have had a part time job (20-25 hours a week) all through high school and worked full time (50+ hours) a week in summer. Don't know how much that helps but there it is.</p>

<p>Also, in the event I am deferred for early decision, I hope to apply through a scholarship called QuestBridge, for underpriveleged kids. I was already selected as a finalist for the college match and will make use of their regular decision process (hopefully) if I don't get accepted.</p>

<p>I know it's a long shot but I had to ask thanks for the help!</p>

<p>because I, like so many other people on this forum, have ALL of the knowledge of every admissions rep at Upenn, i’ll bestow upon you my completely valuable judgement that you should believe in wholeheartedly, because after all I know you so well after reading your application up here in Philly…am I right? </p>

<p>NO ONE ON HERE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A REALISTIC DECISION.I understand that you are using this tread as a way to escape the dreadful waiting period that comes with an early decision application. It’s threads like these that I hate. Why are you asking a bunch of other people who have their own chance threads up if YOU have a chance of getting into a certain school!? It makes no sense!</p>

<p>Just hope for the best, it will all work out in the end.</p>

<p>NJSoccer, I know that, but I also know that there are many more knowledgable people on here than myself. Just trying to play the waiting game, like you said, and trying to get some outside perspective on my situation</p>
