How to get into UPenn Wharton?

I am a freshman in high school. I currently have a 4.0, i am on the wrestling team (I expect to be captain by senior year), i am going to be on the baseball team, i have a portfolio using fake money, I am going to caddy, and I am going to volunteer as a groundskeeper at my local little league fields. What else do I have to do to get in? Also, what should I major in if I plan to go into investment banking?

my stepmom is a professor of economics who used to work at UPenn Wharton

You do some very nice extra-curricular activities. I'm sure your parents and family are very proud of you!

It helps your cause IMMENSELY if you know a graduate of the Wharton School. Someone who might write a very nice letter of introduction or recommendation. BUT that's a couple years down the road, isn't it?

It also helps your cause if you get some REAL exposure to the financial environment - the markets or banking business by interacting with some of those folks.

AND probably THE EASIEST, MOST IMPORTANT AND DIRECT way to access the powers that be:
Do volunteer work at a hospital. Through philanthropy, affluent folks enjoy helping the less-fortunate.

The more help you get from "the powers that be" - the affluent people you interact with AND associate with, the better off you'll be.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
