Chances at CAS Penn Early Decision?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have decided to apply to CAS to study economics (possibly apply for dual-degree in Wharton as sophomore).</p>

<p>My GPA is 95.3 (weighted = 124.7) - Top 10 Percent</p>

<p>By the end of Senior year I wall have taken 12 AP classes - Exam scores are only known for Statistics - 5. The rest have been honors classes.</p>

<p>SATs = 2210 Reading - 720 Math - 780 Writing - 710 .... I plan on taking them again in October to increase writing and reading scores. I was somewhat disappointed with my results...</p>

<p>SAT II - I have taken Math II and US History but will receive my scores later this month. So far I have taken four proctored tests (two for Math II and two for History).
Based on my thoughts on the tests and my proctored results:
Math II - 770-800
US History - 730-800</p>

<p>Wesleyan Book Award Recipient - Given to student in top ten percent who takes the most challenging classes, displays independent thought and creative thinking, shows extracurricular achievement and has an affinity to the arts.</p>

<p>Recipient of Excellence in French Award - Given to the Top Student in French VI</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

<p>And if you all could also give me chances for NYU Stern, University of Chicago, Cornell, and University of VA that would be great.</p>

3

<p>Anyone? Please.</p>

4

<p>No idea on your chances, but they’re probably really good. Just a bump for you though :)</p>

5

<p>Thanks, Tom. I think I could use another bump.</p>

6

<p>Anyone else?</p>

7

<p>Low Reach I think!
Bump, I’m using ED for Penn too. Chance me: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/943374-renewed-thread-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/943374-renewed-thread-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thank you mayo, that he used the term made me suspect that he may really not do this as he would have long ago been taught proper terminology.</p>

<p>We would really need to know where you are in the top 10%–much better chance if you’re top 2% than top 8%. Do raise those scores. After that it depends on how you stack up against others from your school/region/state. Much better chance if you’re from the South than from the mid Atlantic.</p>

<p>Unfortunately my school does not have a ranking system other than top 10%, 25%, 50%, etc.</p>

10

<p>My school is arguably the best in Maine - this years junior class received top average scores on all sections of the SAT in the state.</p>

11

<p>Also, I don’t know what terminology redroses is referring to. Mayo’s comment must have been deleted…</p>

12

<p>Ah, what a shame.</p>

13

<p>Are you referring to my liberal use of the word ■■■■■■■■? Because that is the medical term that is used to describe their mental disabilities. My father is the guardian of one of the men, so that is how I was introduced to the program. </p>

<p>The other child has a disability that is more closely associated with autism, although the diagnosis is unclear.</p>

<p>The group of children I work with during soccer included a variety of disabilities, but most either demonstrate a form of autism or downs syndrome.</p>

<p>Has Penn contacted you in any form for recruiting?</p>
