<p>I should have excellent recommendations and the essays should be pretty good too.</p>

3

<p>By "various other jobs", do you mean part time jobs during the school year (20+ hours per week)? I think that Penn would look favorably upon first-gen students with the dedication to pursue something so time-consuming.</p>

4

<p>By various other jobs I meant other jobs that were less time consuming or that I kept for a shorter period. For example I have had a job as a condominium complex maintenance person for the past three years but it only takes about 2 to 4 hours a week. </p>

<p>Any more chances please? </p>

<p>I would really love to go to Wharton for economics.</p>
