<p>[I really hope you guys read this, I spent alot of time on the email...please help! A reply, any reply would be nice]</p>
<p>Hi guys, I am currently in Grade 10 from Montreal, Canada enrolled in a private school. Our school only takes 1 Penn student a year, so this will be very helpful. </p>
<p>I need an evaluation of what I need to do, what I am doing well, and what I should continue to do if I should set my eyes on Upenn.</p>
<p>Firstly, APs and Grades:
-93.3/100 average
-AP UShist this year
-AP Calc, AP Physics, AP Advanced Functions (our school offers this "so called" AP course thats advanced and more intense NO EXAM), and AP Chemistry
-SATs: planning to take in October of Junior year and sometime in the spring of 2012. Aiming for at least 2300.
-Subject tests, not determined yet.</p>
<p>Extra-Curriculars and Summers
-Badminton Team, Captain title for sure in Senior year
-Badminton High Performance Tournament A and B level quarter and semi finalists (3 times)
-Much of my extra-curricular time is spent on Badminton training
-Badminton Club Executive and President in grade 12.
-1 Public Speaking and 1 Debating award so far in high school year, going for more.
-School Heart Month Captain for the Heart and Stroke: organizing fundraising events in school for the foundation
-Some math contest honor rolls, nothing spectacular
-Going to spend summers training, a corporate law camp, some tutoring for AP physics
[IMPORTANT: our school is extremely biased, but i am trying for things like DECA, a bussiness competition, and hopefully i will be able to compete in my junior year]</p>
<p>Volunteering
-I have probably around 40-50 right now, but I am organizing fundraising and do get hours for that. </p>
<p>Thanks for reading guys, I spent alot of time on this email and hope you can give me some advice! Do I have a chance? Does it depend on my essays?</p>
<p>Again THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING! THIS PUTS ME IN A MUCH LESS STRESSFUL POSITION!</p>
<p>P.S. if 100% is the total application, what would your essay be worth? (this applies to any general Ivy League or American University) 50%?</p>
