<p>your ECs are very solid and your academics look pretty good</p>

<p>since you're applying ED to Penn and the rest of you checks out pretty well, I'd make sure you have a very solid essay to go along with the rest of your application -- I'm 15 minutes from Penn. and a lot of students here apply and get into there b/c they know my HS's prestige, which has made me believe that it's easier than it actually is to be accpeted by Penn.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a very realistic shot at admittance as long as your essay is solid and you show them who you are.</p>
