<p>Hi, this is only my second post at CC, but I have read a lot, and gained much valuable info from the site. I have wanted to go to UPenn ever since I visited it when my brother was doing a summer program there about four years ago; however, I don't really know if my chances are any good. </p>
<p>I intend to major in Biochemistry or some sort of Biology/Chemistry mix.</p>
<p>White Male (Unfortunately...)

<p>My biggest lacking is in service, but I have participated in 3 Susan G. Komen's Row for the Cure raising over $2000 to donate. Also, I have participated in 4 River's Alive! which is a program to clean up local rivers, collecting trash mostly. Every summer I volunteer for my rowing club to teach kids how to row at summer session, acquiring about 90 hours per summer. </p>
<p>Senior schedule:
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
AP Literature
AP Econ/Gov
Senior Psychology
Either AP French or AP Bio or AP Physics C (Undecided)</p>
<p>Pertaining to the title, "What should I do?" means what class should I take next year, AP Bio, Physics C, or continue on with French into AP. Also, should I try to get a summer job or find more volunteer hours over the summer (assuming I did just one). And finally, with my scores, ECs, and other criteria, would ED be a better idea or should I wait for RD?
Let me know if you need any more info?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for any advice. I really appreciate the help.</p>
