<p>So all of you most likely become bored with all of these.. But I just want honest feedback on possible chances into UPenn. I am EDing and here are my credentials:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.92/4.0---4.06/4.33
ACT: 32, 31 --- 33 superscore but I'm aware that Penn doesn't do this
EC: President of NHS, (50+ community hours)
Captain of Speech Team,
Basketball,
Competitive Baseball,
Math Tutor for multiple students,
Church Volunteer (20-25 hours)</p>

<p>Workload: 25-30 hours per week during school
55 hours per week during summer. Trainer at both jobs</p>

<p>Side Notes: First Generation student from low income bracket. I am white though. My GPA shows a strong upward trend-- freshman year 3.83 uw and 3.93 w
I only took 2-3 honors/ap classes freshman and sophomore year. Since then I have taken all AP/IB/Dual Enrollment</p>

<p>AP Scores: 5 on stats, calc bc. 4 on euro and physics B</p>

<p>I feel like I don't have a million ECs because I work so much. I put in all my free time into my work to help my family and I hope it shows in the app process.</p>

<p>What school and major are you applying for and where are you from?</p>

<p>I am applying for the CAS, and I am from a suburban town in Minnesota. The indicated major on my app is Mathematics.</p>

<p>In that case, I’d say you’re chances increased tremendously…I know one person here from Minnesota…as in Penn needs more people from there! Your stats look really good and your EC’s aren’t weak or anything…it seems like everything you were involved in you put a lot of time into, which is good because it shows that you’re passionate about those things and not just trying to “build a resume”. Best of luck!</p>

<p>That’s relieving to hear. Thanks for the response</p>
