Will take sat II in bio and math
5's on all ap exams except for one 4 in us history</p>

<p>Extra curriculars.<br>

XC for four years ( training group captain senior year)
Tons of hours for volunteering at a hospital for four years
Fellow at the Obama campaign ( this was a leadership position I trained new members etc)

<p>Your scores and GPA are both fine for Penn. Your ECs are a little bit lacking in my opinion, but if you really want Penn, do ED. Apply to the school you would really want to go to rather than the one that gives you a better chance at admission. Good luck!</p>

<p>Well Penn is definitely my top choice right now, I still have to visit though. Thanks or the comment. Anyone else</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. You’ve worked hard so now focus on writing fantastic essays!</p>

10

<p>Thanks for the opinion!</p>

11

<p>Bump…</p>

12

<p>This is BINDING! You should absolutely visit before making such a decision.
Great stats. Great chance.</p>

13

<p>Just visited last weekend
By far my top choice. Completely solidified my Ed option. Penn is awesome!!!</p>

14

<p>You have a good shot, but any school with an acceptance rate less than 10% is a crap shoot even for a student with perfect scores unless they have a hook.</p>

<p>Write a GREAT essay!</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

15

<p>^The acceptance rate for ED often hovers between 25%-35%.</p>

16

<p>You have a good shot but it’s all gonna be based on your essay and how you package your whole application. Market yourself like you never have before.</p>

<p>Make sure you do it well.</p>

17

<p>Well sent in the application sent in the application last night. My English teacher said that she had never seen a topic like mine for the common app or the supplement. It was “very unique” We will see!</p>
