<p>Hey everyone! Finishing off my freshman year at East Stroudsburg University and applying to UPenn and Lehigh for Political Science, hoping to go to law school</p>
<p>Stats:
HS GPA: 3.2-3.3
College GPA: 3.8 first semester, 4.0 current
SAT: 1220
EC's: Political talk show on school radio station, Treasurer of ESU's Orthodox Christian Fellowship, about 55 hours of community service over the past 2 years</p>
<p>2 EXCELLENT Recs., one from my writing prof who I had for both English Comp. and Advanced Comp. and knows me well (we hang out outside of class) and an economics prof. who is the chairman of the history department who also knows me well both inside and outside the classroom</p>
<p>2 great essays, and the part of the Penn CommApp supplement where they ask for a picture well, I didn't have one on my computer so I wrote in some humorous description of myself...really funny. If you wanna read it, pm me</p>
<p>Peace!</p>
<p>Applying to Wharton for soph.</p>
<p>Applying to CAS. Not sure what to think about my chances - I have a 3.6 from a state school in New York, which is nothing exceptional. I'm hoping that they might let me in because I want to go for a very specific reason - their anthro department. Also, I have legacy. What do you all think about chances for a 3.6 gpa with legacy and a specific interest in their anthropology department?</p>
<p>applying seas for soph from ucla!

i hate it here</p>
<p>Has anyone submitted their application yet? Should we be receiving any sort of confirmation or anything?</p>
<p>Nah, I haven't even started my essays yet. So much work for school.</p>
<p>Do you guys know how much weight they put on the mid-year grade reports?</p>
<p>^ i'd really like to know the answer to that question also.</p>
<p>metalhead79, let us know how that goes, because I've got similar stats as you. Good luck!</p>
<p>Does anyone else feel like the transfer portion of the Penn Admissions website is really uninformative? I still can't figure out how many recommendations to submit...</p>
<p>new here, still trying to finish everything....</p>
<p>estag, i sent in 2 letters though i never found a clear answer either</p>
<p>i sometimes feel like one is not enough and three can be too much...so two it is</p>

<p>Here is a link to all the parts of the application: <a href="https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/applying/formsdom.php%5B/url%5D">https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/applying/formsdom.php</a></p>
<p>Does Penn give you like some password or ID to check if your materials have come in?</p>
<p>If for midterms, all I have are Ss (satisfactory), is there anything I can do? Is that acceptible?</p>
<p>Does Penn use the final transcript for making decisions or do they just use it to verify good standing after they accepted and rejected students?</p>
