<p>Now that the ED craze is over i was wondering if anyone could evaluate my chances for the college. Penn is my first choice.</p>

<p>I’m a white guy from Washington State . . .</p>

790/740/710 II’s
3.87 GPA UW - should hopefully have a 4.0 this term, bump it up a bit
Taking 2 out of 3 AP’s offered</p>

<p>Awards
National Merit Commended Schoolar
Whos Who (yeah, i know its a scam but i put it anyway, i didnt buy the book or anything)
Presidents list 7 times (3.85 and above GPA)
Deans List 2 times (3.5 and above GPA)</p>

<p>I worked hard on my essays and think they’re pretty good.
Probably Decent Recs as well.</p>

<p>Theres two other kids from my school applying (with a 3.98 adn a 4.0), will this negatively affect me. Does Penn compare you with your class that much. My school doesnt rank at all.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>

<p>decent ecs, good scores......... um focus on your internships and what not, youll need to emphasie your hooks.... hmmmm, i believe "officially" for rd, they will take you based on qualification and not if there are like 100000 kids applying from just your high school. but then again, that seems a little too good tobe true....</p>

<p>Thanks, i wrote one of my essays about my job/internship at an Air Force Base in Turkey, which i consider to be one of my hooks. </p>
