<p>If I have a 2250 SAT and strong leadership and afternoon activities?</p>

2

<p>Weighted or unweighted?</p>

3

<p>weighted -----------</p>

4

<p>GPA alone doesn't really matter. It depends on your rank.</p>

5

<p>oh yeah I also have a question about rank, what makes up your rank? grades only or level of class / grades?</p>

<p>and finding my rank I'd have to go see councelor right</p>

6

<p>3.7 weighted is pretty weak. If you're out of the top 10% in your school, I'd say your chances are VERY slim. Penn accepts very few applicants out of the top 10%.</p>

7

<p>rank only matters....if your school even gives rank...some schools dont...my school only gives weighted gpas and thats it</p>

8

<p>sorry i meant unweighted.. what was i thinking :P</p>

9

<p>Does anyone know how I could find out whether or not Wake Forest University accepts the ACTs ... Im trying to put together some fall back schools and I was wondering whether they accepted ACTs or just SATs</p>

10

<p>just looking @ Wake's application, it says the SATs are required.</p>

<p>The Wake Forest application is basically death though, just to warn you.</p>

11

<p>What do your parents do at Penn. You said that they "work there?"</p>

12

<p>haha other board I see, well my dad is some sort of professor of microbiology whereas my mom is a research assistant prof.</p>

13

<p>Yes, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.</p>

14

<p>I had a 3.67/3.7 and I got into Wharton ED this year, so there is hope! Just write one amazing essay for them!</p>

15
