Wharton trasfer

Applying to wharton as freshman transfer from UNC-Chapel Hill

Varsity boxer, Vice President of entrprenuerial start your own business competition, Co founder of Federal Challenge team a monetary policy compteition and 1 st place districts 2nd place regionals, college republicans memeber and econo club member and a few other clubs.
Retaking the SAT. Class for next year Chin 102, Stat 155, Calc232, Econo 420H (advanced macro) Busi 100 (financial accounting), 17 hours

Good work experience and I have a pretty good shot at landing a Goldman & Sachs internship of JP MOrgan internship, I will find out before the Wharton application is due and include it.

What do you feel my chances are of being accepted and what sat score should i aim for. I have a good reason for wanting to transfer as well becuase of certain classes that only wharton offers and my school doesn;t.

I don't think minority status helps with transfers into Wharton.

Your GPA will definitely hurt your chances since it's a key component of transfer applications.
