Your resume is extremely impressive; getting into Wharton is not much easier than getting into Harvard. Your GPA/Extra Curricular is pretty solid.
All of this is under the assumption that you will be applying to Wharton next year via Early Decision
I am sorry to disappoint you, but if you do get 1800-2100; your chances of admission is very very slim. 2100 is pretty much the minimum needed for just Wharton consideration. Middle 2200s is the Wharton average SAT. There a lot of 2300 SATs being turned down every year. Wharton is just CRAZY hard.
You would also need two SAT IIs, with at least a 750+ (preferably 780+) Math II minimum and 700+ (preferably 780+) on some other subject.
Good luck; you have a solid 8-9 months before your last SAT deadline. Try to raise your score if you want any serious chances.

Good work! Very impressive! You are definitely on the right track. But remember that thousands of other students with the same qualifications are also applying so keep your options open. I think you are doing everything possible to get into the school.

From Wharton's website:
Q. How do you assess candidates?
A. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions handles all admission. Each applicant is assessed as an individual, and we evaluate high school academic performance, standardized testing, recommendations, non-scholastic achievements, leadership, and personal maturity. The university Admissions Committee looks for individuals who will be future leaders. There are no fixed criteria and no cut-offs in terms of grades or test scores. Because such a high percentage of our applicant pool is qualified for admission, successful applicants are those who present the most compelling cases and distinguish themselves from other applicants.

Q. How many applications do you receive for a given class?
A. Application volume for Wharton single and joint degrees averages around 5,500. Each year we admit about 650 students and matriculate about 500 students in the first-year class.

You have a lot going for you & will get into some good schools. Your GPA and the fact that you are taking AP classes will be a big help. It looks like your SAT scores are a guess. If you want to get into Penn, you need to do better.

About 75% of the students accepted to Penn have SATs of 2100 or greater. And Wharton is (by far) the hardest school at Penn to get into. I suspect that you need a 2200 for Wharton. I taught there for three years, and the undergraduate students are crazy smart. If you get high SAT scores that aren't quite good enough for Wharton, you might consider majoring in economics at Penn's College of Arts.

If you want to study business, you need a backup plan. You should also be applying to MIT's Sloan School, Michigan's Ross School, UC-Berkeley (The Haas School takes Juniors -- so you can't apply directly to the B-School), UNC's Kenan-Flagler school, NYU's Stern School and Virginia's McIntire school.

Other schools to consider are USC, Maryland, Villanova, BC and Georgetown.
