Applying to a lot of other schools, including some safeties but mostly worried about Penn for now, my top choice
My hometown has definitely limited me in that we have no business EC’s like FBLA or even speech and debate, no business courses, so worried about that and also math scores
I also don’t really have any major awards

Hooks (URM, first generation, recruited athlete, development): isn’t a hook but maybe geographical location is in my favor, not many people from my state ever applying it seems
Reflection: Really strong interest in business, my school has a lack of clubs and teams so I don’t really feel as if I have enough of those or leadership positions, a lot of the honors societies don’t even have officers as of this school year, everything’s pretty slack
Side note -My school is not good, would this impact my chances too?, average ACT score is around an 18 at my school eek
