<p>Hello guys, my name is Won Oh from a small highschool in Washington. I really admire all the students who got accepted to penn this year with your hard works. I will be straight up... WHAT KIND OF STEPS DO I NEED TO TAKE IN ORDER TO GET INTO UPENN? I really want to live and study there with students who are as bright or brighter than I am. PLEASE HELP ME OUT! I need really good mentors.</p>
<p>Haha…well getting into an Ivy really isn’t some kind of mechanical process. I’ll give you some guidelines, but they are highly subjunctive.</p>
<ol>
<li>Follow Your PASSIONS in clubs! Thats HUGE. Try to get officer positions if possible</li>
<li>Make sure you do well in school. Obviously, you prbly need to b in the top 10% of your class as 90+% of admits are in that range. Go for val or sal if you think you can.</li>
<li>Nail your SAT and SAT Subject Tests! A 2200+ (heck…a 2300+) would put you in range for Wharton if thats where you will b applying. If you are going Wharton, take math 2…they love math there = D</li>
<li>Visit and show interest! Penn is different from the other ivies in that they do track your interest. So, make sure they no its your first choice school.</li>
</ol>
<p>Okay, so I am founder and chief editor of Newspaper Club, Vice prez of National Honor Society, Secretary of Projects in ASB, and going to make Community Service club soon. I am really interested in media (thats why i made Newspaper Club) and working for the community (community service club, and i am also part of city’s youth council.) I am going to University of Washington Seattle to live there 4 weeks for free for math camp so that should be a hook since wharton likes math? and 3.99(I got A- in choir…), 2100 SAT, passionate, did competitive choir for 4 years because singing is my passion. Soccer and Tennis team captain and did alot of community service. BUT THIS IS WHAT EVERY CANDIDATE THAT GOES TO PENN IS LIKE T.T I am not sure how i can stand out</p>
<p>apply for awards/scholarships; i’ve always found that awards are nearly impossible to get without actively seeking them; chances of winning awards this way are low, but at least higher than waiting around for someone to give you one… hope that helps</p>
