Class Rank 23/497, top 5%</p>

<p>Community Service: I've been on two week-long mission trips to a homeless shelter in Maryland. Other than that just some random stuff through boy scouts, church, and NHS.</p>

<p>My essays will probably be okay but nothing outstanding. Likewise with the recommendations as I have failed to form personal bonds with any of my teachers.</p>

<p>I have demonstrated interest in Penn (which I hear counts! ) by requesting information and attending an information session/tour.</p>
