<p>Sorry if y’all are sick of this, but I need to decide whether I should apply, soon. So please help me out here.</p>

<p>Asian International student applying to SEAS RD
SAT I: 680v, 800m, 680w
SAT II: 800 2c, 760 physics, 800 Chinese, 680 World History
GPA weighted: 3.92 (our school has very few AP’s so I guess my unweighted isn’t much lower than this)</p>

<p>AP’s:
Calc AB 5, BC 5 (self study)
US History 4
Physics B 4 (self study)</p>

<p>Currently taking:
AP Chem (self study)
AP CompSci AB
AP Physics C (self study)</p>

<p>EC’s: pretty weak, nothing significant, BUT, are focused on math and science, and a couple of sports to with it. Also considering that our school has pretty much no EC opportunities at all.</p>

<p>Awards: AIME qualifier, AP award thingy. First place in some science competition. Band saxophone first chair, section leader.</p>

<p>Recs: one okay, one pretty good.
Essays: Decent to good.</p>

<p>So…my questions are: Do i have a good chance at UPenn SEAS? Also, is SEAS quite a bit easier than other schools?</p>

<p>Id say since youre scores are great, and your passion is in mathematics and science, i'd say apply. while i cant predict anyones chances, id say show penn somehow that you really enjoy learning. show them that youre not just an ordinary math genious and show some character in your application. i believe youll be just fine if you do so.</p>

<p>SEAS is usually easier to get into than the College if you're math/sci oriented and have good SAT scores. With a 42% incrase in ED apps, no one really knows what RD will look like. </p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot. Scores are above average (the avg last year was 1460). Much higher chances If you're also top 5%.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>It'll probably depend on that essay though.</p>
