I don’t understand… if you have a 4.0 UW (All A’s) and AP’s are weighted 6.0, then how is your weighted 5.0 if you’ve taken some AP courses? Shouldn’t it be higher than 5.0? Because a 5.0 means you’ve only taken all honors classes and gotten A’s in all of them.

Also, don’t write an entire essay about stock clubs. No, really. It’s more cliche than, like, Asians writing about being in the orchestra or perfecting the piano. Like, out of every 10 applicants to Wharton, 15 are president/founder of their Stock Market, Investment, DECA, and/or FBLA clubs I’m not trying to discourage you, but you should try and talk about how you’ll use a Wharton education to empower those around you and make a difference in the world. Spend anywhere from 25-40% of the essay talking about your interests, passions, and desires for the future, and 60-75% talking about how you’ll take initiative on Penn campus to make those goals and dreams happen. Make sure you stand out and present yourself in a unique way - thousands of other kids have those same ECs as you do. Make those ECs look like you’ve poured your heart and soul into them (and I bet you have!).

Anyways, good luck, I’d DIE for that class rank and GPA!! That’s my only weakness on my Wharton app this upcoming year unfortunately my school’s a hyper-competitive public so… yeah.
