<p>dont project sat scores, take them and then display. trust me, i projected my sats way higher than they were…</p>

<p>and it is Penn not Upenn.</p>

3

<p>I did actually take it and got 2100 in Jan. I copied and pasted the stats from my document so I have not updated it yet. </p>

<p>What do you think about my chance now ?</p>

<p>Oh yeah, sorry about the UPenn thing.</p>

4

<p>2100 is sweet, penn’s average was 2130 700 reading, 700 writing, 730 math. Get those and I would say you have a great chance.</p>

5

<p>Thanks. Should I improve anything else besides my SAT scores ??</p>

6

<p>always try to take more ap classes. e.c’s look good, but if you have time do more. sports are great.</p>

7

<p>How many AP courses should I take in senior year ??</p>

8

<p>aim for a 22. write good essays. then sit and wait and pray for the best.</p>

<p>what’s your reason for repeating junior year?</p>

<p>it’s upenn AND penn.</p>

<p>as for ap courses – take the ones you are interested in taking and know you’ll excel in. quality > quantity.</p>

9

<p>I have to repeat because I am an international student and have to fulfill the graduation requirements.</p>

<p>So does it make any difference with my situation ? </p>

<p>Any more comments ?</p>
