<p>Terrible scores. No chance unless you’re hooked.</p>

<p>I know my SAT II tests aren’t the best, but my ACT is in UPenn’s range and while I know test scores are important, they aren’t everything and I feel like my other credentials warrant a chance, however minuscule.</p>

<p>Your application doesn’t make much sense to me. You participated in science related activities, yet your science scores are bleh. While you do have a clear passion for music and volunteer work, you lack a clear academic inclination. Therefore, I see just a good student who likes music and does volunteer work… and nothing more. I hope your essays are good.</p>

<p>I guess your chance depends on what you’re planning to major. I pray that it isn’t science related; if it is, your application is one huge contradiction. </p>

<p>Don’t take this post too seriously, okay?</p>

<p>I think I would probably major in linguistics or global studies, but I’m not entirely sure.</p>

<p>Ignore PrincetonDreams, he’s a ■■■■■. Your scores are fine, could be better of course. You do realize you don’t have to submit the subject tests, right? </p>

Yeah, I know I dont have to submit the SAT IIs, but I just didn’t know if it would be worth it or not for me to submit those.</p>
