<p>Sorry. It's unlikely you'll be accepted at Penn, either ED or RD. Your SAT M+Cr score is more than 80 points below the Penn median and while your ECs are fine, they are really no better then the ECs of the other 20,000 plus kids who will be applying to Penn, many of whom will have a GPA as high or equal to yours and significantly higher SAT scores.</p>

<p>You could very well have a chance if you write good essays and have good recs. The only thing that's really hurting you is the test scores. But, simply judging statisticall, I concur with amptron.</p>
