<p>Does UPENN care more about GPA or ACT/SAT??</p>
<p>GPA as in is top 10% class rank good enough with a 33+ ACT for admissions?</p>
<p>As I understand it, UPenn reads its applications holistically. Therefore, neither the GPA nor the test score is worth more than the other.</p>
<p>It appears you have good stats, so you should apply. Make sure your essays are fantastic, and good luck!</p>
<p>I know that they look at other stuff but im saying from the academics perspective. Like will a 10% rank LOWER THE VALUE of a 33+</p>
<p>I’m not sure you understand how holistic admissions works…</p>
<p>@actsat2400: No I do not believe so. Most ivy league schools want you to be in the top 10% of your class. The fact that you are not in say the top 5% or 1% should not hurt you as badly as you seem to think it will. As long as you are in the top 10%, I think you will be okay. Plus, if your tests scores are any indication of your grades, then colleges will know that you go to a very competitive high school and that being in the top 10% at your school would make you the valedictorian at many other high schools in the country.</p>
<p>But do not worry; UPenn will not toss your application because you are not closer to the top of your class.</p>
