4.6 Weighted GPA for Wharton?

  1. No, you're academics are in admissable range. Calculate your AI, find an Ivy League AI calculator online, and consider retaking the SAT to compensate for the slightly non ideal UW GPA. It is also crucial that you take at least 2 SAT IIs (Math II, and some other area of interest for you) and get 750+.
  2. You lack national awards, but that is fine. You have several well-developed ECs. The only problem I see is a lack of coherence. Discuss what inspired you to address African education in the essay and connect it to your current business/newsletter if able. If you don't do this well, you run the risk of coming off as solely a competitive resume padder. Wharton loves students who use business to better something else. If you can articulate that some common goal is the object of your business applications thus far and that Wharton/Penn is uniquely the best place for you to progress that, you can create a fairly compelling narrative.
