<p>Hey, thanks for all feedback</p>

800 math 2, 750+ on a science SAT II</p>

<p>3.93 GPA unweighted , private school</p>

<p>More than the most rigorous class schedule (4.5 years of english, math up to Calculus 3 and AP stats, 3.5 years of humanities (school plans for everyone to get 3, I doubled up...), 5 years of science, 3 years of span (up to span 4, only thing that I didn't do 12th grade))</p>

<p>Letter of recommendation from physics teacher and from a prestigious math class program that has gotten ~40% of people into harvard who have applied.</p>

<p>ECS:
Entered Siemens competition (math project... not many of them accepted :/), giving presentation at a section math conference, submitting paper to journal.</p>

<p>More than 100 hours of volunteer hours per year. Elementary school Engineering tutor, tutor of the state finalist (x2) for the engineering competition.... translated popular educational videos over internet to spanish (100 hours+, maybe it will make up 3 years of spanish...?).... and some other things.</p>

<p>Competing in an international college engineering competition as the only qualifying high school team</p>

<p>Leadership in 3 major teams (no sports due to required after school commitment) the teams are national forensic league teams and math league, leadership in NHS</p>

<p>A lot of tutor experience and soccer referee</p>

<p>I have other ECs and volunteering, but I don't find them worth posting here.</p>

<p>you would know in 3 days</p>

<p>I have no clue what you are saying.</p>

4

<p>the ED results will come out and you can approximately assume where you fit in the applicant pools. Remember, compared to the ED, RD looks for higher standard students.</p>

<p>This isn’t really helping me.</p>

<p>I mean, you look really good on paper, but so do all applicants to Penn…your scores definitely put you up there though. What do you want to do? If it’s engineering, you’ve definitely shown your commitment there and have skills in other areas, which is a plus. I’d say that you’re around 70% for SEAS, 45%ish for SAS. To be honest though, I can’t really tell, given that EVERYONE who applies has an impressive resume and scores. Good luck with whatever happens!!! </p>

<p>PS if you have time, chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1419543-hi-friends-penn-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1419543-hi-friends-penn-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>What school at Penn are you applying to?</p>

9

<p>Engineering, and I am considering applying to M&T.</p>

<p>Like cassqui said, you definitely have the stats and ECs for SEAS. M&T might be tougher - you’d need to show your interest in business (which I don’t really see in your ECs) and your desire to merge business with technology. Anyway, you definitely have a great chance with your stats though!</p>

<p>Ok thanks! I looked at the M&T admissions website and they claim that they look for math (which I have) a lot of leadership for the “Wharton-side” of admission for M&T, which I believe I can show through my ECs and essays.</p>

<p>You are right though that I don’t have any direct business ECs… I have focused on math and science. My school has horrid business courses and 0 business ECs so meh.</p>
