<p>I think you have a great shot! I would submit both your ACT and SAT because both are equally great. Also, don’t submit your bio (unless you have to submit 3). I think Yale is your biggest reach. Applying ED to UPenn…I think you should get in!</p>
<p>Your GPA and test scores are phenomenal, but you could use just a bit of work in ECs. Penn is definitely not out of reach, but I would still consider it a small reach. It’s an Ivy, and Ivies can be pretty unpredictable with their admissions. The essays could be a big factor in your applications. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>dang. your stats rock. Yale is a reach school for anyone so yeah… But you have a great chance at Cornell. U will probably get into all the other colleges u listed.
Gud luck!</p>
<p>Because out of all the schools she’s applying too it’s the hardest to get in to…While she is smart and well-rounded, she doesn’t necessarily have any hook and there are plenty of applicants with better scores than her and equal grades and ECs also applying to Yale along with many other top tier schools.
But she has a pretty good shot at almost all her other schools</p>
<p>Your EC’s are a bit thin, but everything else seems tremendous! I think you have a great shot at Penn ED, seeing as almost 50% of their incoming class comes from Early Decision.</p>
<p>Why not apply to Johns Hopkins? Hopkins would certainly be a reach, like yale and upenn, but for biomedical it is definitely the best of the best.
Regardless, I think you are in at UPenn without doubt, imo. Best of luck, but know that the admissions process will treat you well.</p>
<p>If you can craft your ECs into telling a good story about you for an essay I don’t see why you wouldn’t get in at Penn. Your stats are incredible :)</p>
<p>Oh, and I just love your username. Gooood luck!</p>
<p>Amazing. You only have 2 a’s throughout high school; the rest were A+'s. I would say you have a very above-average chance, especially with nice awards in the background.The 2310 SAT score is good. Nice athleticism also (varsity track). Maybe you should have studied for the AP’s more. </p>
