<p>Your grades are by far your weakness, and I don't know if UPenn will look beyond those</p>

3

<p>3.86 unweighted is by far the weakest?
ok.</p>

4

<p>I meant SAT & APs</p>

<p>Your grades in school are all right. However, SATs are one problem, but the number of 3's on your APs is very disconcerting, and it doesn't help that you are an over represented minority and don't have any other hooks to balance out the bad stats (besides perhaps the ranking). UPenn is a very high reach. I would suggest looking at some other schools.</p>

<p>Penn is a really high reach for you with your AP scores and SAT score.</p>

<p>You just seem like a typical asian only with bad APs. Wow you got a 2 on environmental science.</p>
