I’ve also heard that “Penn Face” Is a very real problem and doesn’t sound all that fun to be a part of. Can any current students Elaborate?

3

Penn Face must be a new term, because it’s the first time I’ve heard it, but otherwise, you’ve got a very competitive profile. I think you’ll do well at all the top-tier schools.

4

No chance whatsoever due to low standardized test scores & the likelihood that you might be easily bullied.

But, on the other hand, Penn might like to get a look at that Northwestern research you’re doing.

5

You will be a very competitive candidate. Nobody can say more than that when a school has an acceptance rate under 10 percent. Good luck.

6

Your stats are great and will get you a good look at the rest of your application.You have great chances because your ECs are also great! Focus most of your time on your essays to have the best shot

7

I would say YES but your teacher recs need to be fantastic just like the rest of your app. See you at orientation ;).

Just my opinion. Go girl.

Are you trolling? OP has a 36 on her ACT and 1590 on her SAT, along with perfect SAT II scores. Maybe im delusional but I believe those are all in the 99.75th percentile.
