<p>You have very good test scores, a lot of extracurriculars, and those ec’s demonstrate a passion for politics and sociology. All you need to do is write an essay that shows how you plan on developing those interests while at penn. For instance, is there something unique about penn’s political department that you find interesting? </p>

<p>If you write a pretty strong essay I think you will get in. However, ivy admissions are just so fickle that you never truly know.</p>

<p>You have very good EC’s and test scores, as well as a great rank and gpa. The only uncontrollable things that can hurt you right now is living in New Jersey and if you are an ORM. If you write amazing essays and get great recommendations, I see a high chance of your getting in. However, I cannot emphasize the essays and recs enough (especially the essays). Those have to be stellar.</p>
