<p>You have a great chance of being admitted ED. Your stats don’t really matter as most applicants will have a similar profile. Make sure your application stands out via the essays. They have to be unique, entertaining and flawless. The Essays or any other unique aspect of your application will get you in.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,

<p>the legacy helps, but sat 1’s are scary low. Sat 2’s somewhat compensate for it. It’s too late to focus on that part of your application though. What is your gpa? What else do you do in terms of activities? But I agree with Whartongrad. It’s really about the essays and teacher recs. Really stay connected with your teacher in counselor throughout the year, and if you apply ED try to get stellar quarter grades to send to Penn. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m not sure I’d chance him so highly. Probably below average if not for the legacy. At this point, I’d say load up on the APs (the other physics and calc ones + stat and chem if you can) and see if you can get recruited for track. Otherwise, I do feel like your academic stats are on the low side and the ec’s aren’t as likely to make up for it as much in engineering as in other schools.</p>
