<p>I really want to increase my chances at this school. Im planning on applying to the school of NURSING</p>
<p>your standardized testings and activities look really good.
But your GPA seem to be lower than the students who are probably admitted there.
However, since it is not only numbers in which the admission officers will be judging by it looks like you have a decent chance. Remember to hook the readers on your personal statements! You want to show them who you are and how you would positively impact the school.</p>
<p>You do have a good chance of getting into UPenn, especially if you ED there since that shows major commitment. Your extracurriculars and standardized tests look really good, and the fact that you had such major improvement in your GPA over the years is a definite plus. Colleges like seeing an upward trend and if your counselor can put something in their recommendation about that sudden improvement, that will also look really good.
I have a friend who had a 3.2 in her freshman year, a 3.4 in her sophomore year, and then a 3.8 in her junior year, and got accepted into UPenn. Continuous improvement really shows effort and dedication on your part as a student. However, your jump from a 3.14 to a 3.74 is a HUGE leap, and colleges may look at this as a lack of effort in your freshman/sophomore years, so make sure your counselor addresses it.
Plus, how many males apply to nursing school? Bonus.</p>
<p>Good luck, I’m EDing there too (: Love Upenn.</p>
<p>How did you do so well on te SAT?</p>
