<p>Meh. A higher SAT and SAT II would certainly help your chances, along with a sharp uptick in GPA senior year. That said, as an Asian applicant from the over-represented state of NJ, it may be more difficult to get in simply judging by your competition. good luck!</p>

<p>not a chance</p>

<p>as an asian from NJ you don’t have much margin for error. and i’m seeing too much error all over the place. gpa, sat 1, sat 2, ap scores…solid involvement although no EC pops out…</p>

<p>An asian girl on this forum did get in last year with an SAT under 1800 after creating a really enthusiastic application, though overall I’m forced to say that you’re really reaching for penn. and the AP scores make me question if you’d do well at penn, and believe me, you don’t want to be in over your head during college.</p>
