<p>I am really into/pretty good at singing and acting and am sending in two songs I have recorded as well as a pantomime scene from one of the musicals I was in so hopefully that should help as well.</p>

<p>I would really appreciate some advice/chances on getting into these schools.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Well I am almost one hundred percent sure that UPenn offers early decision, the binding alternative, rather than early action, so first keep that in mind. In all, your ECs seem solid, your course rigor looks good, but your SAT scores are on the lower end for admission. Work to break 2200 or higher and your chances will improve. You can still take the October, and I believe November, tests for early applications.</p>

<p>No problem! With improved SATs (and not to be rude, don’t send the physics) and solid essays and recs I think you have as good a chance as any applicant. Your internships will really look good, congrats and good luck!</p>

<p>chance back if you wish… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/935287-chances-top-tier-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/935287-chances-top-tier-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>ED will help your chances since you have somewhat lower scores. Pretty solid ECs though</p>
