<p>I don’t mean to sound like I’m evil, but your chances are slim. You have a VERY impressive EC list, but you’re grades aren’t as up to par as other Ivy applicants. You may get into Cornell, but don’t count on UPenn’s Wharton business school. Stern is a waste of time: it’s 2nd tier education at top tier cost. Good luck, though!</p>
