IMO, you should be trying to distinguish yourself from all the other "perfect math sat scorers" by writing stellar essays, earning glowing and detailed recommendations, and participating in unique activities that interest you. You have no idea how many people do DECA, FBLA, or try to start up an internet company, just because they think they will be shoe-ins for a business school.

Regardless, here are some stats provided by BusinessWeek's evaluation of Wharton admissions...
