My answer for UPenn is going to be the same as it was for Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, although UPenn does not have an international Office with statistics that I can point you to.

@Jayadevvd Penn admitted 6.7% of the international applicants for the class of 2018 so it is quite hard. also for the class of 2018, 3 students from Sri-Lanka were accepted at Penn.

List high school awards, not EC’s completed years ago, because it looks like you are trying to pad your EC list.
