Hi, I am a junior in high school and want to major in engineering and minor in some sort of business. I really want to go to UPENN or any good school, and I’m not sure if my chances are mediocre with my credentials.
SAT: 1410/1600
Unofficial Class Rank: 35/530
Unweighted GPA: 3.63/4
Weighed GPA: 6.53/7
PSAT 11: 1430/1520
Active member in several clubs, including DECA, student council, science clubs, honors societies, etc.
17 honors classes taken in my 3 years of high school.
3 APs this year, scores have not yet been released.
Taking 3 SAT II subject tests.
Thank you!
I don’t think you have a very good shot at Penn. I would work on Standardized testing to have a shot a 1410 for penn engineering is way too low.
UW GPA is too low for Penn engineering even though your class rank is ~10%. Really high reach even if you can get the SAT over 1500.
Can you use your state school as a match/safety?
Stats are a little on the low side. If you have your heart set on Penn than ED there, but be prepared to apply to other colleges in the regular decision round that are slightly less competitive.
A Poor ECs, a 1410 AND a 3.63? Schools that are as competitive as Penn are not going to happen unless you’re a war refugee or something.
Probably not, many students have far superior apps.
