<p>uh yeah, you have a laundry list of ECs, but the only thing i got from it is that you like music then theres misc other stuff. What are you passionate about?</p>

3

<p>ACT is good, gpa is low, Extracurriculars don’t show much (even though there is a lot), so i say 50/50 prob less</p>

<p>Just do your best on the application and try to show in your essays how your talents and passions will benefit Penn. These chance threads do more harm than good because a lot of the times the people rating your chances don’t really know what they’re talking about when it comes to the admissions process. Just do what you can to the best of your abilities and whatever happens happens.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
