Hey guys, I was wondering what you thought my chance of admission is for Penn ED.
ACT:33
SAT: Didn’t take normal one or subject tests
Class Rigor: School only offers AP classes in Math and Science (only 2), but I didn’t take either. I did take 2 online AP classes in my area of interest though (social sciences)
GPA unweighted is 3.98
Extra Curriculars
Debate: Did well nationally throughout high school (Top 5 nationally in lincoln douglas debate), captain
Government Program: Established this program at my school and won prestigious award that I can’t name and got additional rec from the group that awarded and helped me set up the program.

All State attorney in a trial competition that’s like mock trial
Competed nationally in FBLA

Letters of Rec
One from english teacher (7/10)
One from government/online class teacher (9/10)
Councellor rec will be super generic probably (6/10)
Essays:
Common app (figured out afterword it had typo but was good otherwise (6/10)
Personal statement (kinda generic but good, talked about my love of politics and what triggered it (7/10)
Why Penn: This one was great (9/10)
Do you think the fact that I didn’t take AP’s and not all honors is big enough to keep me out even though my EC’s are pretty good? Thanks!
