Hello Guys,
I am currently a HS Junior living and studying outside the US, Im thinking of applying to uPenn Wharton ED, I am a very passionate and driven student, Top of my class in IB Economics HL, Business management HL, English B HL, Math SL, Physics SL. Very well respected and highly regarded by my teachers and principal, Attended 10 MUN conferences, Chaired a couple including 2 economical and social councils, and a Director of an International MUN conference. Received a US Patent for an invention at the age of 15, received a Certificate for Innovation from the president of my country, Got 3rd place out of 2000 in a Scientific and Technological entrepreneurship competition. took part in a prestigious summer camp, and got the Attainment award for the Economics and Management course. President of our school’s Music club. Was invited to be part of the first ever forum of innovators in my country. Now taking part in a very highly regarded entrepreneurship competition in the arab world. Could get outstanding recommendations from my teachers. My problems arise here, and I hope you guys can help. I decently good grades for 9th and 10th grade, and I’m getting good grades as an IB student, I was bad at Chemistry last year and didn’t get the best grades for Arabic in 9th grade. My GPA is swinging around 3.77/4.00 now. Another problem is that I’m taking the new SAT in the upcoming months, and not being a native english speaker does’t give me the best edge here, it is worth mentioning that the highest grade ever from my school “A very well respected private school, might very well be the best school in the country” was 2200, the new SAT seems challenging and there are very few resources for study, so i am not expecting a very high SAT 1 mark. I predict i will do quite well in Math 2 though. Business and Economics are my passion, and I would love to concentrate on management and entrepreneurship in my studies. I know this is a long post, but any help is appreciated, What are the things I should do in order to maximise my chances of getting into Wharton, other than the essay, considering that my academics might be sub par? Again very sorry for the excessively long post.
- I got decently good, haha sorry for the grammatical error.
don’t take the new SAT just apply with your 2200. I think it will be sufficient to get it, especially because you have all of those awards/honors. do well on the subject tests and you will be fine.
