<p>Just stats wise, the SAT is a little low, for Upenn you want to be up into the 2000, 2100, and above range. I don’t know if you’re a junior or a senior, but If I were you I would consider taking the SAT again, or trying your hand at the ACT, although I believe standardized tests aren’t as big of a deal as everyone says they are (A relative of mine got in to Cornell with a 1700), granted, that was the only bad part of her application, but still.). I don’t really know much about the other schools, sorry. Chance me back!</p>
<p>Obviously you have a lot going for you. Being URM first Generation, and applying ED will all work in your favor. If it wasn’t for all those things, I would say it would be almost impossible bescause academically you are very low, and the ECs are very normal, and nothing pops. With everything going for you I think you will be a competitive applicant ED. If you had a higher SAT and GPA, I would guess yoou would be in for sure, but you still have a shot. If you do not get in ED to Penn I would be surprised if you got into Hopkins or Duke RD, but you have an X factor so who knows. The others you have a shot at RD. Good Luck!</p>
