<p>ehh, the first-gen will help but I don't think it'll suffice as you're an international.</p>

<p>There's lots of Chinese applicants with higher profiles, so I'd have to say Penn is quite a reach.</p>

<p>Best of luck though.</p>

<p>*and take off "makes sushi" as an extracurric</p>

<p>i hope you DID mention the sushi thing some where on your app..................Penn does look to have a well balanced class......so even something interesting like that could have its advantages</p>

<p>^It's not that "unique" o_o. I know how to make sushi and I'm Indian. It seems very trivial to list on a college application.</p>
