I’m also just an applicant like you, and no one’s been bothering to chance me :frowning: , so I know how it feels. I’ll just go ahead and give you what I know lol. From what ive been reading on here on CC;

All your grades and scores are great. Especially if you get high subject test scores. So I feel like when it comes to your academic record, you’re solved.

And your ECs look good. You show leadership, business initiative, int’l work, and great awards. Personally, I don’t even have that many awards. I just have 2 school-level awards in Physics & French, and my biggest award is a national competition I won twice in consecutive years.

I think with sending your application requirements on time, great & distinguishable essays, you could even get in, and maybe into the M&T program. Make sure the essays you write, especially the Why penn essay, can’t be copy-pasted to a Why ‘other university’ essay. [this is the advice I’ve been given]
