I had 4 W and averaged a 3.3 my first year. I was hospitalized with an illness and afterwards I got the 4 Ws. I hope Penn sees this as an improvement. My second year I got a 4.0. I came back and made a huge change in my life, and got immersed in activity.
Extracurriculars: started a political club at my community college,
volunteered in India for two monthes working in an orphanage where I took on a leadership role,
interned at a film studio
member of art club, muslim student association, and some others.
worked 12 hours a week.
volunteered with Red cross.

<p>I love Penn, and really want to go. I know that they are famous for their international students and volunteer work, so I'm hoping that my volunteering in India will really push my application up, since my gpa is soo bad. I have excellent recs also, I hope that'll help. I'm posting this into this forum because I am in the class of 2012.</p>
<p>Also, I'm an art and economics major, but I don't have a portfolio or anything.</p>
