I’m also interested in Wharton, but I’m afraid that applying would just waste me a spot at Penn, as I’d probably have a much better shot at CAS.

I have a 2230 SAT, but my GPA isn’t so hot. I’ve been getting crappy grades in Math, but oddly enough, I have a high A+ in math this year. On SAT math, I’ve been getting very high 700s, and I plan on taking IIC in June. My senior schedule is as follows:

-AP Physics C
-AP Chemistry
-AP Macroeconomics
-AP Calculus BC
-AP Statistics
-AP Literature
-AP Psychology

I’ve always taken the toughest courses offered to me, and I’m sure my essays will be pretty good. I’ll probably have a board position in my school’s DECA chapter (the biggest chapter in NYS). Do I even stand a chance?
