<hr>
<p>I know making up these stats are useless but the goals I have set up are very achievable (as for the predicted SAT score of mine you are seeing.)</p>
<p>I have other questions as well:</p>
<p>1) Does participating in a summer program increase your chance of getting admitted?
2) If you think UPenn is a really reach school for me, what other schools would you apply as ED?
3) Any specific areas where I lack? The lack of sports involvement is due to my back; I am currently suffering from a back disque… or however you spell it… it’s how the plate between your back bones slip out of the place and touches your nerves- it kills.</p>
<p>Thank you! =)</p>
