<p>I am a senior applying to penn ED.
I have just under a 94 unweighted gpa (96 weighted) in a competetive, upper-middle class, suburban public highschool in New York.
My father was born in Argentina and moved to the United States as a teenager, which means that I am hispanic.
I took the SATs once and got 2250: 710 Critical Reading, 790 Math, 750 Writing (essay score of 8).
When I graduate from highschool I will have taken AP: Chemistry, US history, Statistics, Euro BC Calculus, and English.
I am the President of my class and have been since sophomore year.
I have also played varsity lacrosse since sophomore year. I also tutor a learning and socially disabled classmate in geometry once a week. Last year he had a 70 in geometry for the second quarter when I was asked to help him. He now has an 87, and is hoping for a 90+ for the fourth quarter.
My other extracurriculars include: Soccer and Basketball (I've played a sport every season each year of high school). Math, Science, and Foreign Language Honors Societies, National Honors society.
During the summers I work as a custodian for 40 hours a week in my towns school system. It is a full time job for the entire summer.</p>
<p>In short, and I think it sounds better like this, I am a hispanic class president and three sport varsity athlete with around 2300 SAT scores. I only say it like that because thats what I hope schools will see.</p>
Your URM status, along with you good GPA, SAT’s and EC’s helps a ton. :)</p>
