<p>Hello everyone, please chance me for UPenn, its my number one choice right now I am absolutely in love with their computational biology program. Please tell me what you think!</p>

ACT: 34, 34 E M 33 R 36 S (36 superscore C)
SAT: not taken, but am in Jan just to try and see if it makes a diff (2300+ is what im going for)
SAT 2: 760 Math 2 and bio M. Didnt study lol needed them to apply to some schools.
Counselor Rec: beautiful, spent hours talking with her about my extracurricular activities. talked about my leadership in school, medical volunteering, and reserach. 10/10
Bio Teacher: talked about me being a soft-spoken leader with good personal skills. 7.5/10
calc Teacher: did not see</p>

<p>Took most rigorous, Counselor's words, courseload at my public high school. 8 ap's, bio, calc bc, world, human geo, apush, stats, chem, physics. 5's on three ap tests, and 4 on one.</p>

<p>Common app essay : 9/10, talked about how my grandpa essentially raised the family when he was 15 when his dad died and how it affects me today.</p>

<p>UPenn Supp: 9.5/10, genuine interest shows in my essays.</p>

<p>EC's
Tennis 4 years, captain of JV one year, most improved award, all area 1st team (12), state quarterfinalist.</p>

<p>Micro Financing (VP)- lend money to women business owners in third world countries. Really important to me since my family was in poverty just two generations ago in a foreign country.</p>

<p>HOSA (President)- ran the club, also, state runner up in event and qualified for the national competition.</p>

<p>Chemistry Club (President)- prepare kids for the chem olympiad.</p>

<p>DECA- member, qualified for the state tournament one year (would not have put this on my app if my counselor did not mention this "achievement" in my rec.)</p>

<p>Volunteering at hospital- 200 hours, volunteered in the neuroscience floor and the patient concierge transporter desk.</p>

<p>Research: biomedical reserach. submitting to intel later this year.</p>

<p>Congrats to your son! I got a 5 on bio, calc bc, apush; and a 4 on ap human geo.
@chillgal that would be cool! however im competing in intel for the fun of it and it will not have any influence on my college decisions i believe. Thanks for your responses!</p>

<p>you will definitely be competitive. i just dont know if you can beat out 20000 other applicants :confused: where else are you applying?</p>

<p>also, chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1409730-chance-me-top-schools-thanks.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1409730-chance-me-top-schools-thanks.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m applying to Dartmouth, duke, brown, Johns Hopkins, Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.</p>

<p>Looking back on other threads I feel like I definitely am competitive at upenn CAS, Johns Hopkins, and Dartmouth. Hopefully I get in somewhere!</p>

<p>My girlfriend got in early decision and had lower grades and less extra currics you look good!</p>

<p>Thanks for the assurance Kevinli!</p>

<p>Where are you getting the 7.5/10s from? Are these your ratings or the ones your teacher gave you (and if they were what teachers gave you, is that the norm for all reccomendation letters or is that your school)?</p>

11

<p>Those AP scores are very strong like my sons. If it was ED I’d say your chances were very good. RD @ all those schools becomes VERY competitive. I’d be suprised if you didn’t get inti to a couple of those schools. As a safety you might want to add Carnegie Mellon,Gtown,Univ. Rochester??</p>

12

<p>34orabove, my teacher let me see her letter, and I think it is about a 7.5/10 in terms of quality. </p>

<p>Rebel, thanks! I hope that by applying to so many places I get in somewhere. I have already been accepted to university of Michigan as a backup.</p>

13

<p>U Mich. is a good safety, I just wouldn’t want u to get shut out in the unlikely chance you didn’t get accepted to at least one of your choices from above.</p>
