<p>Do you think I have a chance to be accepted to this school, if you believe I can get accepted and that there is a high possibility, what do you I will get in regards to financial aid/scholarships (Parents combine to make less then 80,000 dollars a year)</p>

<p>i want to major in business and maybe get a mba later on</p>

<p>Not really. A 1550 on your Sat is extremely low. You'll need to bring it up to a 2100 to have a shot.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

3

<p>Also, your GPA is ridiculously low and you didn't mention any AP's.</p>

<p>Not a good sign. Maybe you should apply to community college... no offense</p>

<p>hey jmanco, he has a 2310, he has a 1550 OLD STYLE, </p>

<p>and Penn loves an upward trend in GPA, go for it man, you have a decent shot...</p>

<p>yea lol if he had a 1550 out of 2400 I don't think he'd even post his stats here</p>
