Chances at Upenn

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi All, </p>

<p>i know this topic is overused and lame, but i really want some outside opinion since my mom has been cursing my chances at Upenn ever since I got a B in Economics. </p>

<p>Yea, i dont live in the US, and i am taking my A-levels (the UK curriculum) in Hong Kong. </p>

<p>Anyways, here are my credentials.
AS-Level grades (pre-A-level course)
Maths: A
English: A
Economics: High B
Psychology: A </p>

<p>I took the New SAT and got a lucky score of 2140
and have taken 2 SAT2s so far:
Chinese: 780
MathsIIc: 740 </p>

<p>This year im doing the SAT2 Literature and retaking the SAT2 maths.. (hoping for a 800). </p>

<p>Also i will be taking 5 APs: Psychology, Calculus, Statistics, Economics and Literature.</p>

<p>I do weekly community service in a children's school for the blind and I enjoy many sports and represent the school in most sports and have even represented my country in Rugby. </p>

<p>But the problem is my lack of leadership. The only leadership-like thing i have done was take a couple of primary school students to the local zoo. </p>

<p>Is this dent in my profile going to be a important factor in my college application? and what are my chances in getting into my dream school: University of Pennsylvannia. I am going to Early Decision, so will that help my chances?</p>

<p>itlll be verrrrry hard--good luck. penn likes leaders. also--international=extra hard, you've probably heard.</p>

<p>International alone is extra competitive and there's no way to predict chances unless for an extraordinary applicant.</p>
