<p>i did</p>

<p>For a Wharton applicant, you aren’t too bright are you? Posting specific things i.e. your school name, businesses you’ve worked at, and firms you have interned at on a website where some college admissions people will look to amuse themselves isn’t the best idea. I could do a quick Google search and find out who you are. I would edit this with the 5 minutes of editing time you have left. CC doesn’t let you delete posts.</p>

<p>Princeton- high reach
Penn ED Wharton reach
Duke reach
UCB/GTown- low reach
UVA- high match
NYU STern- high match
PSU/Mich- match</p>

<p>Dreams of 9th grade</p>

<p>That was really ■■■■■■■ impressive</p>

<p>Your stats are really impressive! Try to get your class rank. Otherwise, your GPA doesn’t mean much to admissions officers. My school didn’t report it either, but I begged the principal and I got my rank … which was salutatorian. Don’t disadvantage yourself. </p>

11

<p>^^ not true haha. </p>

<p>For example, if you have A’s in every single class… it doesn’t mean anything? haha nonono… nice try, but no.</p>

<p>@noel597‌ I remember reading that in “A is for Admission”. At some schools, a 3.8 UW GPA may not be good or it may mean you are in the top 5%. </p>

13

<p>@serverguy‌ Maybe you want to specify which point GPA stops mattering. For example, if a student has an academic 4.0 unweighted, that’d be a factor; rank wouldn’t matter.</p>

14

<p>@noel597‌ The OP does not have a 4.0 UW GPA, so what is your point?</p>
