<p>Essay (Excellent):

<p>I’d say you have as good of a chance as anyone. Great all around applicant.</p>

3

<p>i suggest you take the math II sat. your math I score is pretty low and I dont think admission officers even look at your math I score</p>

4

<p>Math is the bane of my existence… lol. But you’re right.</p>

5

<p>take math 2, there’s a good chance that she might do better on it due to math 2s curve. I got a 730 on math 1 but an 800 on math 2</p>

6

<p>I agree with jcll2002 and disagree with fanta_orange. Since when is a 700 too low?! Yeah admissions is an unpredictable game, and I say your chances are about as good as anyone’s.</p>

<p>but wharton really looks at math scores - a 700 will raise a red flag if you’re applying there, especially considering you’re an international applicant. And I agree - take math 2 - most things on there are merely about interpreting functions, so you’ll be okay.</p>
