<p>International with significant need = extremely low chances. </p>

<p>But congratulations on your achievements to date. You’ll do fine wherever you attend.</p>

<p>@ T26E4, isn’t Penn need-blind for all international students?</p>

<p>Your SAT’s are low but I think the EC’s are really good and relevant to the field you want to go into (: Good luck!</p>

4

<p>it is not need blind for all internationals ,but I am sure it is need blind for canadians</p>

5

<p>oh sorry, i forgot about the “domestic” stuff. penn is only need-blind to north americans.</p>

6

<p>I’d say you have as much a chance as any. Your financial aid shouldn’t matter since penn is supposed to be need blind. While your SATs are not amazing your other achievements will hopefully outweigh them. You seem like a solid applicant. Good luck!! And if you have time please chance me on the thread I started.</p>

7

<p>^^ Penn is only need blind for domestic applicants, and Canadian and Mexican (I think) applicants.</p>

8

<p>Bump, bump, bumpity-bump, I said a bump, bump, bumpity-bump , I said a bump bump bumpity bump , I said a bump bump bumpity bump</p>

9

<p>Penn is need-blind for citizens and permanent residents of the US, Canada, and Mexico. For the rest of the world, it is NOT need-blind (yet).</p>

10

<p>It looks like you’re Indian or at least Asian, so your chances will be lowered by that too.</p>

<p>I’d recommend that you apply to SEAS instead of Wharton since SEAS looks more relevant to your interests and is slightly easier to get into.</p>

11

<p>I did apply SEAS</p>

12

<p>If you’ve already applied, then why are you even here? Leave CC until you have kids of your own. Don’t you have something better to do? Enjoy your life – you’ve earned it. Stop wondering your “chances” from now until the end of March. What’s done is done.</p>

<p>By all measures, it seems you’ll have a very successful college career – wherever you attend. Congratulations. But go away! ;)</p>

<p>SEAS would be lucky to have you, but I’m just not sure about the Financial Aid…their funds are limited for International Students.</p>
