yupp you have a great chance! maybe try taking your sat's again? but your ec's are wonderful. i got into wharton and my ec's weren't a third as good as yours

classicalguitar8

thanks fanta orange for your response, I forgot to mention that my dad spent a few semesters at wharton on some sort of scholarship before transfering and so did my mother. I was probably looking to apply to the college of Arts and Sciences and i live about 30-45 minutes south of Philly and Row out of Vesper and stop by the UPenn boathouse occasionally, if this helps at all.

PLease keep the Comments coming!!!

Yep, looking good.
Everyone will tell you that you have killer activities, so I won't belabour the point.
Just two things:
With colleges like Penn, your weighted GPA will matter very little, so I would post your unweighted in the future.
And the only weakness I see in your app right now is SATs. Since you still have time to boost your scores, here's how I got a perfect SAT CR: read. A lot. Get a subscription to NYT, Time, things like that, and try reading cover to cover. Have some novel to piledrive through.
I mention this tip only because I see so many people going out and buying loads of practice tests and wasting their time doing those rather than actually improving the skill in question.
And keep in mind that even if you get a 2400 SAT, no one's a shoo-in. But I still think you've got great chances.
Good luck!

Thanks for the response cooledge, my counselor said that our school only sends the weighted GPA, but my uw should turn out to be (by my own calculations) in the high 3.8 - low 3.9 range including the college courses ive taken and will take. Without these college courses its around a solid 3.79-3.8. Should i still try to send it anyways, and anyone else how do my chances look??
