<p>I'm a Chinese male. Middle class family.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:

ACT: 33</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Bio M: 790, Math 2: 800, Chemistry: 790</p>

<p>AP: all 5's. Biology, chemistry, environmental science, BC calc, AB subscore</p>

<p>GPA: 3.93/4.00, our school doesn't weight grades</p>

<p>I take as many honors courses in math and science as is humanly possible at high school. No honors social studies is offered at school. No real honors English. No AP courses offered at school--all the grades above are from self-study</p>

<p>Note that this year I'm taking an intro physics course at an Ivy league university with my other high school classes. First midterm grade: 96%, median was 82%.</p>

<p>Rank: 10% easily, we don't rank, so this is just a guess. Graduating class size is approximately 190.</p>

<p>Please chance, I appreciate it.</p>

<p>Let me get this straight… you go on an online forum looking to see whether you have a chance admission. This indicates that you don’t know what it takes to gain admission… yet you promise to tell others what their chances are? Something here doesn’t add up.</p>

<p>These threads are ridiculous. I didn’t look at your “stats,” but I can tell you that you will be one of about 13% of applicants admitted, or you will be one of 87% of applicants rejected. What you cannot do, and what really drops any credibility this site has, is tell someone whether he can get into college when you have not, yourself, gone through that same college’s full admissions process.</p>

<p>Please, if you are going to tell this kid whether he has a “chance” to get into Penn, at least count yourself as an actual student at Penn so you know a decent cross-section of last year’s admitted class.</p>
