Will i get into the university of pennsylvania wharton school of business?


i did horrible on my sat's but im retaking them, im also taking the act's and i'm considering taking 2 sat subject test because they require it, my gpa is around 3.3-3.4, this is my last year at my high school, i have 2 internships, i volunteer at my nearest hospital i run xc for my school, play rugby for my state, am in 6 different clubs ( Sadd, Mock trials, debate, academic challenge, FBLA, gift shop comitee, also this summer i attended 2 business camps, got $1,000 scholarship from one school, and won a laptop at the other, also this senior year i am trying to go to my community college to take statistics, and accoutning.

I hate to be this blunt, but there is no chance for you to get in as an undergraduate. It is the most competitive business school in the country. That means that unless you have a GPA well over 4.0 and near-perfect SAT scores, you don't stand a chance. You have a lot of good activities, but those NEVER act as a substitute for academics; they merely help a school decide among those who qualify on an academic level. If you really have your heart set on Wharton, start preparing yourself now to apply for an MBA in about 8 years. Once again, you would need near-perfect grades and test scores, with great and interesting extracurricular experiences. You would also need several years of good work experience after graduating from college; they almost never take anyone right after graduation.

I agree with what is said above. Your extracurricular activities don't make up for your gpa or sat scores. There are plenty of people applying to Penn each year who have the same extracurricular activities as you if not more who end up having 4.0 and near perfect sat scores, or at least close to them.
