<p>which school are u planning to apply to? ur stats are pretty good but theres no guarantee into UPenn for anyone. the thing that stands out as i was reading was ur SAT1 math score... u definitely should try to bring that up... at least get it into the 700s. other than that, my only other advice is make sure in ur essays, u sound well-rounded, have a personality, and not just a grade-monger... that was the downfall of many of my friends who applied... ESSAYS</p>

<p>ASIAN MALE? OUCH, mmmmmmmm, hard to say</p>

<p>mmmm, which country's origin?</p>

4

<p>I think you'll probably get in, but there's still a certain degree of randomness to it.</p>

5

<p>if you're applying ED, significantly better chance of getting in. and yes. ESSAYS. </p>

<p>nobody here can tell you for sure if you'll get in or not, but you have a good chance</p>

6

<p>judging from your awesome title (that part about rachel bilson totally threw me off guard!), you seem to be witty. write some awesome essays and get some awesome teacher recs and you have a pretty good shot (although not a guarentee! nobody has a guarentee).</p>

<p>hey 09sofine, doesn't it feel sweet to be on the other side of these threads?</p>

7

<p>Wit is what got me in. If you've got it, flaunt it.</p>

8

<p>asian male... and a 690 math???</p>

9

<p>stop that! you're just <mind blank...what's="" that="" word...="" it's="" like..="" exacerbating=""> the stereotype thing!</mind></p>

10

<p>Doctorx88, if you're applying to Penn college, you will most probably get in. If you're applying for Huntsman, you have a reasonable shot, but its hard to say.</p>

11
