Wharton & Leadership

I am competitive for Wharton with my test scores, grades, awards, business activities, math, etc.

However, I lack heavily in leadership compared to others who have gotten in.

I feel that my resume is a good fit for CAS because of my strong math and sciences activities. Though to be honest, the school I want to go to is Wharton.

Disclaimer: I’m not saying that I’m sure I would get into CAS, but from what I hear it is easier, especially for me because of my current resume.

Should I take the safer route by applying CAS and then transferring into Wharton (I’m pretty sure I can own the GPA requirement)?
Or should I grow some cojones and apply directly to Wharton?

Thoughts from current Penn students and applicants would be appreciated. Thanks! :)
