Admission Advice: I would say to be passionate in what extracurriculars you do. Don’t just do something to make your resume look good but do things that are meaningful to you and the results will follow. I also advise writing about a unique problem that has impacted you in your life and connecting it to how Wharton would be the fit for you for the Wharton specific essay.
