<p>I'm currently a junior in High School and I have taken my SATs, but I have not received my score reports yet, so I know it will be difficult for you to guys to decide what my chances are at Hopkins or UPenn, but I was just wondering how I look <em>so far</em>. My guidance counselor said I have a chance at Penn, but I'm not so sure, based on my grades, so please let me know what you think, guys.</p>
