If you have good essay, killer recommendations1. 3.85+ GPA2. 2250+ SATYou will get in; almost guaranteed because being a National Chess Master with 2200 ELO is a massive hook.Check out http://talk.collegeconfidential.com for a real college forum.The poster below is terribly wrong; ignore the statistics; they take more than 50 per year.

If you are looking at their undergraduate program, you should know that they admit only 50 students/year and are the best in the country, so they don't have to tolerate many flaws in their applicants. Obviously your stock trading experience is impressive, but I would guess that with Bs for your grade 9 grades and a "not near perfect" SAT, you may not be quite there. You can apply, but make sure that you have some good back-up schools. You can't fix the past, but you could go to another school as an undergraduate, do extremely well, get some work experience, and go to Wharton for your MBA.
