<p>Academically, I’d say you’re good. As for out of school activities, you also seem to have to great stuff but when you’re applying to Penn you might want to pick some of the most impressive ones and emphasize them because they’d much rather see you follow through extensively and have had excellent results with a couple of activities than seeing someone branch out into 20 different things in a shallow way. You are an international applicant however, so I’m not exactly sure if that will favor you during admissions, but you’ve got an all right shot, given the lack of demonstrated passion in business which while not at all necessary, has to help.</p>
