<p>Well, what are my chances?</p>

<p>I'm also applying early decision with no financial aid.</p>

<p>I'm applying early decision without any financial aid.</p>

<p>you seem competetive to me but maybe you should retake the ACTs</p>

<p>and tmi with your teachers names on here again?</p>

<p>Yeah, apparently ACT 30 = SAT ~1340, which is only about Penn's 25th% range.</p>

<p>Since you're already in the top 3% of your class, scoring a 1500+ SAT (or the ACT equal) would be pretty sweet.</p>

<p>I'm taking the ACT again this Saturday!</p>

<p>good luck with that.</p>
