My school is really limiting with AP classes and such (only “allowed” to take 3 a year for only junior and senior year).
My sister is also a recent Penn grad of the same major, not sure if that has any impact.

Thanks!

I think you have a decent shot. Like you don’t have any obvious hooks, but your Boy Scout involvement and internship will help. There’s nothing I can see wrong with your profile. It’s good you applied ED.

I agree with ‘Burrito12’, but would like to add Essay, essay, essay. I really think it could make a world of difference when so many have similar stats to your own.
