<p>Looks good kid. Keep it up. Just make sure you find a way to stand out.</p>

<p>If you boost your scores on the standardized tests I think you will have a good shot at penn considering the focus of some of your EC’s on the science/health sector since your going into pre-med. Schools like to see that type of focus/passion for a particular thing in your EC’s. Keep it up. </p>

<p>Could you chance me?

<p>Improve that SAT score and get more leadership- your grades and course load are solid but you need to make balance it all out to set yourself apart from the kids with just good grades. You’re on the right track and should be pretty competitive when the time comes to apply.
