My personal essay was stronger than the “Why Penn?” essay.

I also sent Penn a link to my website which includes music supplements as well as a copy of my Resume.

I really appreciate your efforts guys, thank you so much and best of luck to you all in this process.

Your GPA significantly lowers your chances, unfortunately.

Thank you - do you think theres a chance at all?

To be honest, not really, But there’s no harm in trying.

The average GPA for penn is a 3.91, it is okay to have a few B’s I think you still have a shot don’t get discouraged

Thank you so much! I know its a longshot and if it doesnt happen I’ll choose elsewhere.
