How do I get into UPENN?

Hi, I REALLY WANT TO GO TO UPENN. It is my first and only choice for college. What is needed in order to get into the School of Engineering and Wharton? A lot of older kids at my school don’t have a lot of extracurriculars and their grades are slightly better than mine, but they still get into the school. How do I increase my chances of getting in, besides grades?Does visiting the school help? Does talking to the dean help?

First of all, get it out of your head that Penn is your “first and only choice” There is a 90 plus percent that you will not be going to college with that attitude.

As others have told you in your other thread your chances for Penn are not that good. It would be a high reach.

EDIT: Your other threads are contradictory.
