<p>Are you good enough? Yes.</p>

<p>Do you have a better chance than everyone else who is similarly qualified? No.</p>

<p>You have good scores, but so do like 20,000+ people every year who apply.</p>

<p>Chance at Upenn?</p>

4

<p>You’re qualified for both Upenn and JHU, but you need to display something special about yourself. Secondly, I wouldn’t tell them immediately that you’re doing the classic pre-med/biology thing because they get SO many applicants who will say the same exact thing and look exactly like you on paper.</p>

<p>You have lots of awards, but it looks like you could use some more leadership activities</p>

<p>What exactly are your ECs?</p>
