<p>Impressive credentials, based off of all of this information I would say you have a good shot. You’ve done so much and did the International program which is really impressive and will raise a lot of the admission directors eyebrows. But I would say try to get 2200+ for the SAT I when you retake it (Breaking 2300+ will make you IN for UPenn). But very good, I think you have a good shot at everything listed.</p>

<p>I’m not so sure about that. I know a few people last year with 40+ predicted, 4 HLs, and rejected everywhere (everywhere being the ivies). Oh, as well as a 2380 1 time SAT.</p>

<p>Then again, they might not have that many ECs. Who knows? You have a good chance I guess, but I wouldn’t say “in”.</p>
