Am I competitive

I think you might get into Wharton, as an AA with those stats, especially if you are an AA male. Your steep upward trend, your high test scores, your ECs, all of this is great. I would not sell yourself short. If you can afford the application fees, I would go ahead and put in an application anywhere you might want to go. Sure, your overall GPA is a bit low, but if you take out that freshman year, or even just that first semester of freshman year, you are in the ballpark WITHOUT being an URM. And you are an URM, which will give you a significant boost, especially if you’re a male URM.

Wow, Thank you! I really focused on making my ECs centered around my passion which is business and social activism which is in line with my major. I am indeed a AA URM male. I agree that I should apply and see how it ends up considering that I have one major flaw that my upward trajectory softens as well as it all stemming from the first semester of freshman year. I thought my ECs and SAT and ACT being in the 75th percentille for would overcompensate for my weak point in GPA for Northwestern and Vanderbilt but would they not consider my application at wharton simply because of my GPA
