<p>Last Summer I took courses for credit at Penn. I was an enrolled Penn student and did quite well (Intro to International Relations A, Critical Analysis of Pop Culture A-, GPA 3.85) I think I was ranked somewhere in the top 3 of my IR class with other actual undergrads from Penn and I think I left an impression on my professor. Luckily enough she was the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies and I got her to write me a req which my guidance counselor (who saw it) said was amazing.</p>

<p>Also my Aunt is a professor of psychology, which I wrote about in my app</p>

<p>I assume you are applying to the school of communication for theater? I know nothing about that, but your other stats are great and if you had applied ED I think you would be in. Once you are in the RD pool, the numbers are rough for everyone. I believe that being a guy is an ADVANTAGE not a DISADVANTAGE…there are more girls in the system than guys last I heard. Good luck, you are certainly qualified.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. I have a question about your rank. How do they do it? At my school, with 2 Bs, and a hard schedule you’d be top 1-2%.</p>

4

<p>At my school if you take all honors and get a GPA equivalent or above than all A- in Honors course than you are a #1. Since I took a non honors in 9th grade i’m disqualified. There are currently 32 #1s in my grade. </p>

<p>Also forgot to mention I am a economics major to Weinberg</p>

<p>I think that your extracurriculars make you a pretty unique candidate, volunteer firefighter? Not everyone can say that. Plus the fact that you took classes at Penn helps. I think that you have solid chances.</p>
