Do I have a shot at Penn?

<p>I had good grades freshman and sophomore year, (all As and A+s in the hardest classes at my school), but this year my grades aren't as great. I am taking more APs than any other junior but I unfortunately managed to get B+s in 3 classes. In the other course I took I got As/A+s. I have great extracurriculars and I will have one "good" recommendation and one really really great one. Hopefully my essays will be good, and I am going to apply early decision and I am a legacy. I am hoping to get my SAT scores up. The first time I took them I got a 2100, but I'll have to wait a few weeks for my new scores to come back and see if I improved. I anticipate good, but not great SAT 2 scores.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot? You can be honest. I am worried that my grades have dropped too much junior year, but I am hoping that the legacy/ED might help me out a bit... </p>

<p>THANK YOU!</p>

<p>based exclusively on what you put forth, it seems that you are a VERY likely candidate.</p>

<p>except for the fact that legacy(ED) admissions the past few years have been incredibly unpredictable and very much based on demographics and the HS you come from…and how much your parents/grandparents have contributed to the school over time…</p>

<p>wait wait wat?!! ^^^^
ED is more based on what HS your from?
I am interested because this may potentially benefit me.</p>
