<p>How did you get a 759 on Physics SAT II lol? Well you have scores well within UPenn’s range, work experience is good, tutoring hours are impressive, but no major awards or other eye-popping ECs. Geographic diversity could boost you a bit, and your school seems really good. I say you’re in the low reach/high match range. Good luck :slight_smile: I’m rooting for you too!</p>

<p>Chance back please:</p>

<p>Thank you! My student body presidency is a pretty demanding, rather unique EC, though, isn’t it?</p>

<p>Honestly, it could be at your school. SGA @ my school is pretty much a popularity contest haha. We honestly don’t get much done. Then again, every school is different. By my earlier comments I meant that UPenn gets a lot of SGA presidents, so the important thing is to stand out in some way ;)</p>

<p>With Penn is depends on the Major… Non-science and non-business schools at Penn, you’re a low reach. Business, high reach(8% acceptance is an approximate for wharton). Engineering(Computer engineering included) you’re looking at a reach. It’s UPenn so don’t be discouraged… Some programs are easier than others so it really depends.</p>
