<p>Your chances aren't very good at all.</p>

4

<p>2% unless they are actively recruiting Folk Dancers.</p>

<p>Penn holds internationals to an even higher standard than most others. I believe less than 10% of international EDs get in. Sorry to say it, but I believe you would be better off using your ED at another school and maybe trying to transfer into Penn after two years there, if Penn is still where you really want to go.</p>
