<p>I am hoping to be a very useful addition to the Penn Putnam team, and also to a couple of sports teams (swimming, waterpolo, etc) perhaps not as useful of an addition though.</p>
<p>It looks to me like you have very high chances, assuming everything else equal. </p>
<p>You look like a great candidate, and seem to have shown great interest in business. That's a pretty important asset. </p>
<p>The only real weakness that I can see is that your laundry-list of activities is not that coherent. There's nothing like an application that is extremely well tied together. </p>
<p>Remember, though, above all else, that Penn is looking for people who want to be there. They look beyond your stats to see what kind of person you are. My best advice--your essays should practically bleed Upenn. </p>
