<p>I’d say you have a fair chance. Upenn is more competitive this year than ever so its going to be tough for anyone. My class’ salutitorian applied ED and got deferred which was surprising to much of the school however your SATs are higher than hers which puts you in a more competitive position as long as you write good essays. Best of luck!</p>
<p>You like all others apps have good credentials, but if you right STELLAR essays and get a STELLAR recommendation, you have a good shot.</p>
<p>Though academically you’re not the strongest candidate, and your ECs aren’t particularly stellar, if you apply ED, your chances look ok but not great. RD looks pretty tough.</p>
<p>Your test scores are pretty good, but your EC’s are not incredibly strong. I have a friend who applied to Penn last year (33 ACT, started a television series about our town’s heritage, great EC’s though not many leadership roles) and was denied. I don’t know how great his essays were, but I know he is one of the most interesting students ever to graduate from my high school. If your essays were solid, I’d say you have an ok chance. The competition’s harder than ever this year.</p>
<p>Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1269123-chances-uchicago.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1269123-chances-uchicago.html</a></p>
<p>I’m applying to UPenn too, and our GPA/SATs are pretty much identical. Honestly, it’s reachy for me. But if your essays are as good as you said that’ll push you over the edge.</p>
<p>Penn has always been tough for Somers kids w/o some some sort of hook, but Ivies are very unpredictable anyways.</p>
<p>Now the waiting game begins.</p>
