<p>your Stats look really good. HOWEVER, that 600cr is really gonna hurt your application.</p>

3

<p>I've been taking many practice tests, and I usually get 800 math, 730 writing and 720 cr. I am hoping I don't get below a 700 on the cr on my real SAT test : ) thx for the input.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input.
Then would I have a better chance by applying to Upenn ED?</p>

6

<p>yes applying ED to upenn significantly increases your chances:
28% accepted ED vs. 11% RD....if you were to apply RD to penn i would say waitlist/reject...but early may give you the boost you need...</p>

7

<p>Wow, I didn't know there was so much difference.</p>

8

<p>Those statistics are misleading. Usually the most qualified apply ED, although apply ED does give a very small boost, it is not that great. When you apply ED, you're going against the cream of the crop, who all really want to go to UPenn.</p>
