<p>Send in your ACT only.</p>

<p>I believe UPenn makes you send in all your test scores if you have taken them.</p>

5

<p>Your scores put you in the ballpark, but you need something that stands out. In your essay, can you tell a really compelling story about your art – your passion for music?</p>

6
