Hey! I'm thinking of applying to Wharton and was wondering what are my chances of getting in?
I come from SciencesPo Paris, which is a very well respected university in France (for political science and IR- which is what I'm studying- we are ranked right below Harvard and exaeqo to Princeton) and is not easy getting in (students who go to SciencesPo typically also get accepted into universities such as LSE, Cornell, UCL, NYU, Berkeley and Georgetown). My GMAT isn't incredible (about 3,7-3,8), but I did a couple of interesting internships and am currently doing an exchange at the University of Hong Kong where I think I could get a 4.0 for the semester (which is quite hard and rare here). I also speak 4 languages and have three nationalities. I haven't done my GMAT yet and am doing it soon. If I get a really good score on my GMAT (720+), what are my chances of getting into Wharton?
Hey charlipontevia,
When it comes to applying to colleges abroad, it's not just about your grades. These schools want to see well-rounded student who has gone above and beyond in their achievements. Of course, a solid academic record and test scores (like a
GMAT or
GRE score over 720) are important, but they also look at your work experience, extracurricular activities, and other accomplishments. Don't be shy about showcasing these in your application and the impact you've made through them.
Keep in mind that top-notch schools like Wharton, Harvard, and Stanford have a competitive acceptance rate, so make sure your whole application shines. And don't worry too much about the test scores; they're just a small part of the evaluation process!
If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.
