chance me for Wharton please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, so I am a Junior and Im gonna start applying for colleges next fall. I would like you to chance me for all Ivy leagues, especially Wharton ED (my dream school) and Harvard. I would also like you to chance me for Stanford, COlumbia, Cornell, UC Berkley. I want to major in economics at the Ivy’s, and business at Wharton. I am from Central America and I attend one of the best schools of the nation. I will list the scores I have gotten so far, and the ones I expect to get.

SAT I:
- First try: 1890 (M:620, R: 610, W:660)
- Second try: 2150 (M: 770, R: 680, W: 700)
I know my first time sucks, but I was really nervous. Will that affect my application? Also, such a high score like the one I got in the second time I pretty rare at my school. Kids with 2200 have gotten accepted to Princeton. Last year, a kid with 2190 was accepted to UPenn RD, and this year a kid with 2130 was accepted to Brown ED. Should I retake the SAT? I know that perhaps I could raise my score to 2250, with R: 730, W: 750.

SAT II: Bio M- 750. Math I: 750 (Anticipated), Math II: 800 (anticipated), Spanish: 800.

GPA: 96.7 weighted

Rank: 3 of 120

Summer Courses: Im going to Harvard Secondary School Program to take “Introduction to Capital Markets and Investments”, and “Money, Financial Institutions, and Markets”. I plan getting A+ at these courses. I also plan on getting recommendation letters from my teachers.

- Im gonna work at one of the most important banks in my country. I plan on getting an amazing recommendation letter from the Bank’s President.

Awards: I have won the Presidental Award for scholarship, and dozens of academic awards.

- Extracurriculars:
- -Have won various tennis turnaments. Have played for 3 years.
- I play piano and go regularly to the gym.

Don't get too many recommendations. It might be over-doing it. 2 Teacher + 1 Guidance + 1 outside is good enough; 2 outside of school recommendations is a little pushing it, so if you do that make sure it's a worthwhile one (not padding).
