<p>Too many EC, and looks more participation, not very dedicated</p>

<p>not very dedicated? elaborate please.</p>

4

<p>you should have more confidence in yourself if you expect to make it...I think your stats are actually rather decent, but if your SATs don't exceed your very low expectations you won't have a chance</p>

5

<p>too early to say until you take the SAT twice. Don't expect your first score to be your best. I wasn't too confident on my first go, but my second was stellar.</p>

6

<p>yea i figured. I took a practice one and got a 1920, so I'm really worried that I won't do well.</p>

7

<p>one varsity sport with some kinds of state finalist would better off. Agree?
Leadership is also a key</p>

8

<p>Raise that SAT into the 2200's, and I'd say you have a medium chance. GPA looks great, SAT II's are fine but could be better.</p>

9

<p>aim for a 2100 on the SAT. if the SATs aren't your thing, try the ACT. keep in mind that penn doesn't allow score choice though.
i think your EC's are fine, but it does seem sort of like a laundry list. maybe it's the way you arranged them? find a focus or a passion, and emphasize that part.</p>

<p>Penn doesn't allow score choice for SAT or ACTs?</p>
