Chance me. I'll chance back.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Is there any chance of getting into Penn ED? I know it's a reach school for me probably and nobody can ever predict ones chances of getting into schools. But from my credentials, do you think I even have a chance? </p>

<p>Race/Ethnicity: African American (Nigerian to be specific)-- Dual Citizen
Extracurriculars: Sports, Music, Model UN, Community Service Corps., Volunteered at the top Children's Hospital in the nation (300 applied, only 60 got in total)... doing it again, PAML, other clubs as well.
GPA: 3.7 (reason why penn is probably a reach for me, but I do go to a prepartory high school with very high prestige so it's more difficult to achieve a grade such as that)
SAT: 1900 I still need to take 2 subject tests in about 2 weeks so I hope those go well.
Essays: I think they are pretty good.</p>

<p>Any chance?</p>

<p>There have been students admitted with similar stats, but it it is still a long shot unless you cured cancer or something.</p>

<p>Chance me back.

<p>College of Arts and Sciences, by the way!!</p>

<p>To be honest, because you’re African and American you have a really good chance! Maybe with higher SAT scores, but it’s impossible. Like 40% chance I would say</p>

<p>@Smarty1201. Do you mean “Maybe with higher SAT scores, but it’s not impossible?”</p>

<p>I think you do have a chance. As others have said, race plays a part, but you’ve also done some remarkable things in your own right. Grades are fine, sat’s are a little below, but I don’t think they’re dealbreakers at all. Still a reach though.</p>

<p>Chance? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1568458-princeton-scea-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1568458-princeton-scea-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Bumpp please!</p>

<p>I think it may be a reach, but you still have a good chance.
If you weren’t African-American, I don’t think you’d have a chance - no offense.</p>

<p>Low reach, I think your SAT’s should be more concerning than your GPA, as long as you have been taking rigorous classes. Really, Penn is a reach for everyone, so having a general consensus of low reach should be pretty encouraging. Best of luck! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1567485-chance-me-duke-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1567485-chance-me-duke-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Everything about your application is good enough for Penn, but I’m worried about your SAT’s! </p>

<p>It would really help if you could bring it up to widely considered Ivy “threshold” of 2100, but that being said, it isn’t impossible to get in with sub 2100s.</p>

<p>For now I’d say it’s still a high reach, but your background could tip the scales in your favor.</p>

11

<p>You definitely have a solid chance.
Penn: low reach </p>

<p>@Gloogle I know. So am I! I just hope I can nail those Subject Tests. Hopefully, that will partially make up for the SAT I.</p>

13

<p>I hate doing this really but Bumpp</p>

14

<p>First generation American if you guys were wondering. Not sure if that matters on matters.</p>

15

<p>URM plus first gen will help you a lot. I’d say 50-60% chance</p>

16

<p>Maybe try the SAT once more. A boost by 100 points or more will surely increase your chances. With this stats it would be low reach (IMO)</p>

17

<p>Can you guys chance me for Fordham, Villanova, Georgetown, University of Delaware, Temple, and NYU please? I’LL CHANCE BACK LIKE BEFORE :)</p>

18

<p>Thanks for chancing me! From what I know about Penn, you should be in pretty good shape and should be no less than a low reach for you. Good Luck! Weird thing about my west coast schools is that they don’t look at EC’s as much (if at all) compared to east coast schools…</p>

19

<p>If you don’t get it will be because of your SAT, I’m going to say it’s 50/50 whether or not you will get in, it will come down to your essay.</p>

<p>low reach !!!</p>
