<p>I think I have a strong essay.. I got it checked by like 20 people now haha.
Oh I also wrote an explanation for the low gpa/class rank in the essay.</p>

<p>I'm taking General Biology right now.. a dual-enrolled class offered through governor's school (science/math magnet). So maybe that should help.. I'm using my various experiences in a bio lab for my supplementary essay for UPenn.</p>

<p>How much of a chance do I have? taking into consideration the fact that I'm an international not applying for FA.. (this makes a huge difference, right?) I really want to go to UPenn! Thanks! Any inputs will be appreciated. </p>

<p>WILL Chance back if you want me to!</p>

<p>5% probably. Very low GPA coupled with the fact you are an international applicant, do not go to a strong school, and don’t really have any biology/science related extracurriculars don’t give you a very good chance.</p>

<p>i disagree, i would give you about a 20% chance because you have some passion, amazing sat scores and are obviously at or above high school math requirements
chance me at college is a calculation</p>
