<p>With your GPA, and ECs, I would say its a reach of JHU and Penn. Your ECs are scattered everywhere, and I don’t see a real focus. HOWEVER, if you attend a blue ribbon/not very good school, and have been able to excel academically anyways, then that would be a good hook. also, being an URM and Legacy applicant helps a great deal. Your SAT scores definitely put you in the ballpark. I would have your counsellor explain that low Freshmen GPA though.</p>

<p>Chance a fellow UPenn Cas applicant back:
