SAT is average but ACT is very good so no problems there. bio subject test is kinda low, which could have a slightly negative impact since Penn actually cares quite a bit about subject tests. Also GPA is lower than the 3.94 Penn average, but still well within the competitive range, especially if u go to a rigorous high school. All in all, u got a decent chance, but given how much of a crapshoot Penn RD is, you never know (last year the acceptance rate was 6.6% this year it is gonna be lower). I wouldn’t be surprised with any outcome.

@Penn95 Do you think it would be helpful to email Penn explaining family circumstances around the time of my subject test that might have contributed to the poor score?
