<p>Your ECs and hooks are good, but your SAT and GPA are a little low for Penn’s standards. However, your recommendations may make up for some of that. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Honestly, I was in the same situation as you with a 1900 on my SAT… Your score may be acceptable for CAS but I know that that’s just not gonna cut it for Wharton if you’re planning on applying there</p>
<p>are you applying RD or did you already apply ED? Is is true for the waiving thing? Because I didn’t get an email saying that and I was affected by Sandy… and I wonder how they will manage to consider my SAT II scores since they will get them by dec 6th…</p>
<p>I already applied ED and I called the school, they said that if they might not be able to consider them when reviewing you. They never mentioned moving to regular decision like julaine suggested.</p>
