<p>Hey guys , I'm an internationnal student interested in applying to Upenn , and here is the thing , I got the idea of applying to USA just 2 months ago so it's pretty hard , but I believe I have enough potentiel to succeed in that. I want to know what are my chances to be admitted (Regular Decision ) at Upenn based on my expected scores.
Well I past the SAT II in M1 and M2 last saturday , I'm pretty good at maths , I think I will easily get 800 in M2 and 750 in M1.Then , I have the SAT I and the TOEFL in december , I think I'll get an 800 in maths , 650 in Writting and 575 in CR , that's a total of 2025 , and for the toefl i can get more than 100/120 with some luck .
So do I have a chance to be admitted ?</p>
<p>Your SAT II math scores look very good. However, it’s best for you to take another subject test. The choice of the subject test is dependent on the major you want to go into. If you want to do engineering, then you should take either physics or chemistry.
Although your SAT I math score is really good, you should really try to improve critical reading and writing to at least a high 600. You are competing with a very competitive international applicant pool and a 575 in reading puts you at a huge disadvantage.</p>
<p>Best of luck in your endeavors!</p>
<p>Thanks for your answer.
I will try to improve my CR and writting , I only have 3 weeks left and I just started , but I work very hard ( 5 hours per day ) and maybe i’m an international but my english is quiet good. Well about the SAT II ,I want to pursue my studies in maths , So I’m applying for Art and science school , mathematics department, so I think those are the 2 best SAT Subjects I need to take no ?</p>
<p>You should try to do another subject test because many universities consider only one of the two math subject tests if the candidate takes both. Penn did not specifically say you cannot, but I feel like you could demonstrate your strength in another subject area through the subject tests.</p>
<p>there is no such thing as a SAT score of 575</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your answers
The thing is,since i have the SAT I in decemeber , the only SAT left for me is the 26 january test , so do you advise me to take Subjects in physics and french , or to retake the SAT I and try to get a better score ?
Personnaly , I think that retaking the SAT I may be good , but it’s not very sure I get better marks , it depends sometimes in luck. But on the otherside , the SAT Subject in physics and french is a safe exam since i can easily get an 800 in both , so i’m not sure of what to take , the SAT I or 2 more sat subjects :/</p>
<p>I think you should study very hard for the SAT I in december. The curve is generally a lot better in december than in january for SAT I. You should take physics and french in january because it adds dimension to your application.</p>
<p>are you a native french speaker by any chance? xD if so the test should be a joke (literally takes 30 mins to do)</p>
<p>yeah , that’s exactly why i said french :D</p>
<p>“The curve is generally a lot better in december than in january for SAT I.”</p>
<p>Do not listen to him. That is not true.</p>
