<p>Hey guys, I'm applying to colleges this year and I was wondering if you guys thought I had a chance at a school like UPenn. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>3.8 unweighted gpa</p>

<p>SAT: 2200 (taking again in October)-Math: 720, CR: 700, Writing: 780</p>

<p>SAT II: Math 2: 800, Physics (taking in November), US History: 740</p>

<p>AP BC Calculus: 3 (AB Subscore: 4)
AP Computer Science: 3
AP US History: 4
AP Language: 4
AP Literature: 4
AP Human Geography: 5</p>

<p>based on just the academic part of the process, do I have a chance? thanks.</p>

<p>Good news and bad news.</p>

<p>Bad news,
From a purely academic standpoint you would probably fall slightly short. There are no shortage of qualified students with better test scores, GPAs, and perfect AP exams.</p>

<p>Good news,
Luckily for you, Penn doesn’t admit solely based on academics. To get a better impression of your candidacy, you would need to provide information about your background and ECs in High school as well as what programs you are going for (Wharton, SEAS, CAS, Nursing).
I will say that plenty of people have gotten into Penn with similar or slightly worse academics that have been counterbalanced by either a very compelling story or some very compelling extracurriculars.</p>
