<p>"im black/african american.."
"ranked probly 1 or 2 in my class"</p>

<p>why are you worrying then...
just get a bit higher sat score and your in</p>

<p>Agreed. Grades excellent. Class rank excellent. ECs good. URM status a real bonus. Get above, say, 2150 on your SATs and your probably in. And even if you only get about the same score as you did before, you should apply at UPenn. Your URM status will really help.</p>

<p>ok thanx guys but is goin to a high school with no ap classes and with next to no ECs gonna hurt my chances????....also i wanted to know if UPENN is really a good skool for to get my Bachelors of science n engineering with a maj Digital Medi Design......or what are some other alternatives</p>

<p>i hate sophomores</p>

<p>with a 4.0 gpa, african american, and all-state soccer captain, upenn could be your safety school.</p>

<p>and no ap's won't hurt u since your school doesn't have them.</p>

<p>Stickyfinger is definately exxagerating. Currently, decent chance at Penn. If scores go up to 2100-2150, it'll be more likely than most. If you get them up to 2200-2250ish, I'd be very surprised if you didn't get in.</p>

<p>blacks have it easy..</p>

<p>I am hispanic with a 2270 SAT and above average ECs. Do you think I have a shot ED? I have a couple of Bs and 2 Cs.</p>

10

<p>oh yea i did get a couple b's last years, freshman year, like 1 or 2 will that hurt???</p>

11

<p>both of you have excellent chances, go for it</p>

12

<p>Any stats that shows URM admit rate ED at Penn? Thanks!</p>

13

<p>sevendust when did you get your c's</p>

14

<p>Junior and Senior years :( But will my SAT score help me?</p>

<p>Getting a C will not kill your chances. My best friend had a 2.3 average in high school, and is now attending Harvard. Although... she also had a recommendation from former president Bill Clinton as he was a childhood mentor to her. Her SAT scores (the old SAT) was a 1550 I believe - or something close to that. And her essays were superb. So a 'C' is not the end.</p>

16

<p>^^^ Daaaaaaaaang.</p>

17

<p>How can you know your grades from senior year and still be asking for your chances ED?? </p>

<p>Anyway, what is your unweighted GPA? If it's still high, you'll have a good chance regardless of the Cs. The SAT scores are amazing.</p>

<p>I am a senior and I just got my first semester grades. I am taking a gap year.</p>

<p>I have a 3.6 gpa , 4.6 w. My rank is in top 5%.</p>

19

<p>Oh, ok. That makes sense. Yes, I think you definately have a good shot. The grades are a little low, but your weighted GPA and rank are both excellent. Your school must have grade deflation.</p>

<p>is ur unwieghted gpa like the total gpa of your 4 years at high school???.....if not could someone tell me what that is???</p>
