<p>You appear to be a pretty typical applicant to Penn. It seems like you’re female, which means you have a good shot at Engineering, but nothing jumps out to separate you from everyone else for Wharton, the College or Nursing. Your marks are phenomenal and your test scores are also very good, which honestly led me to just skip down to your extra curriculars. Those seem to be mostly academic in nature… captain of cheerleading is cool, but if you don’t play up how that leadership role has helped you develop skills that you will use in college, that will get completely lost.</p>

<p>Put yourself in an admissions officer’s shoes: what do you bring to the table? How will you improve Penn?</p>
