As the title suggests, I want to know if I’m the type of person Wharton is likely to admit. I’ve heard that their main criteria are proficiency in maths, and demonstrated leadership. I’m very passionate about being a leader, and I can work equally well in teams and alone. My essays will most likely stress on the relationship i have with my peers, as their leader. I’m more interested in management than finance, and particularly like the Environment and policy Management concentration. I study in India.

Academic:

SAT: 2180 (first attempt) 740 M (2 mistakes), 750 CR, 690 CR (will improve my 6/12 essay) attempting again in May, 2250+ for sure
SAT Subject: Math 2, Physics, confident of 800 on both
Curriculum, hardest possible: Maths, bio, phy, chem, eng core
GPA: 9.9/10 avg cgpa (9th and 10th). 11th: 75-80% avg so far (I’ve known people to get into Ivies with such grades, they’re good considering the insane course loads and marking schemes)
School doesn’t rank. Consistently top 5 in class in externally conducted science and maths exams. (Maths is my favorite subject)

Leadership:

School Pupil Leader (elected post) for the whole school (i.e. Lower KG to 12th). I understand that US Schools don’t usually have an equivalent post.
Formerly, Assistant Sports Secretary
Secretary General of school MUN. Founding member of school MUN club.

Other ECs:

Awards at MUNs
Debate and other speaking events
Rowing (gold at a regatta with participants from all over the subcontinent)
Football (soccer) (qualified for and played in the nationals)
School magazine reporter

Do I have a decent/good chance ED to Wharton? SEAS is also very interesting. I’m very keen on Penn and their One University policy. International applying for aid.
