Finally getting around to doing this now.
Waitlisted: Wharton Stats:- SAT Verbal: 760
- SAT Math: 790
- SAT Writing: 720
- SAT Total: 2270
- SAT II: 770 Math I, 800 Math II, 800 Latin
- ACT: n/a
- AP/IB taken/scores: Lang&Comp - 5; US History - 5; Latin Lit - 5; taking BC Calc, Physics, Gov, Lit & Stats this year
- GPA weighted: 4.81
- GPA unweighted: 4.0
- Rank or % estimate: School doesn't rank, but I'm somewhere from 1-3 / 145
Subjective:- Essays: One on being kicked out of AP Chem to fulfill art requirements (I thought it was pretty good); the other was a bit more abstract & had to do with my being an analytical thinker. The best, though (at least I thought) was my Why Penn/Wharton essay--wrote about a lot of reasons why the school would be good for me and vice versa.
- Teacher Recs: Very good
- Counselor Rec: Extremely good
- Hook (if any): Legacy, though my GC warned me that wouldn't help me unless I applied ED. Should've listened. I also thought my Girl Scout Gold Award project would help.. apparently it didn't.
Location/Person:- State or Country: MA
- School Type: Extremely small, elite public school--feeder school for Harvard (4/145 got in this year); sends dozens to top schools each year
- Ethnicity: White
- Gender: Female
- Legacy Yes/No: Yes
- Recruited Yes/No: No
- Important ECs: Mock Trial (2 yr Captain), Math Team (Captain), Model UN (founder/secretary general), AAU Co-Pres, Literary Magazine secretary, Student Council, School Council, Varsity Field Hockey (1st team All-Star), Varsity Tennis, Physics Olympics, Peer Ministry, Girl Scouts
Other Factors: Er.. yeah, nothing really. My GC warned me against applying EA to Yale instead of Penn, saying that being a legacy RD might actually make it harder for me to get in, but, naturally, I didn't listen. I got into Duke & Georgetown, though, so will probably end up doing poli-sci and going to grad school for business.
General Comments/Congratulations/etc: Congrats on those who got in, though I shall, of course, love anyone who turns down Wharton for Harvard/Yale/Princeton/wherever else. :-) Not too expectant on getting off this waitlist, but my dad is one very angry alum right now, so maybe he'll be able to do something
