Hello i plan to major in finance and mathematics or finance and comp sci. My dream school is Wharton and i plan to ED but looking at my profile i am starting to question it.

ECS

FBLA 11th (treasurer)

Spirit club 11th (sga created it this year)

You have a nice portfolio! It’s great that you’ve started your own business, done internships, and volunteered. Maybe look into some more community service if you want to get in more extracurriculars, but mostly focus on your GPA. Could you elaborate on how exactly your unweighted GPA is higher than your weighted GPA? Also what classes did you take that gave you that GPA? If there was a class that you struggled in maybe try taking classes that suit your strengths better and would allow you do take harder level classes in that subject. Make sure you focus on your passions and talents so that colleges know you are goal-oriented.

do you think aiming for wharton is smart ED it also what other top schools should be on my radar

@vivian_class20252 years ago

That school has a really low acceptance rate so for almost everyone it is a reach school, but since it is specifically for business and you’ve done great career-focused work/extracurriculars I think your chances are higher than most. I’d recommend looking at your chances with this website. For me the chances are really low because even though my gpa is a bit higher than yours I don’t have the extracurriculars you have. I’d definitely recommend looking at the college’s website.
