You’re good
You’re definitely competitive enough to put in the time and energy of an application.
There’s still some chance involved - I would definitely considering applying to a couple of different schools at least to give yourself a better chance overall (obviously only apply to places you would actually want to attend)
What industry? What are your recs like?
TMT. Recommenders would be partners from MBB.

Wharton loves Asian females. You also have a strong profile. Think you will at least get an interview.
Why does Wharton love Asian females? 🤔
The only aspect I’m unsure about are my ECs…I virtually do not have much aside from interests in sports (I worked at a fitness studio for fun) and extreme involvement in non-client work research at MBB (e.g., published reports)
And just be very specific. For example, my resume said I like movies but I added that I have memberships at 5 different local cinemas so it’s more than just a generic interest
Thank you all for the advice! I had a MBA consultant tell me I was not competitive so this is super helpful :)

Tbf Wharton has been rejecting quite a few MBB’ers lately
You’re competitive for sure. But definitely not guaranteed entry. You should apply to W, but throw in another one or two to give you optionality if it doesn’t work

What does that compare to in GMAT terms? A high GMAT really seems to help at Wharton
