GPA: 9.70 out of 10.00 (with 4 as failing)
Class rank: ~2 out of 57 (yeah, it's a small school)</p>

<p>Forgot about this one: I’m a male.</p>

<p>Anyone? Or are you still looking where Moldova is…?</p>

<p>UPenn ED- Given you’re an international student with such a high grade, I’d say high match: 35-45% The SATs hurt you a bit, though.</p>

<p>Thanks, EnAll.</p>

<p>Get your SAT’s up!!! I’d say reach right now, but if you were able to get your scores up you’d have a much better chance.</p>

<p>Ummm, you also forgot the other important part: what program did you apply for…wharton or CAS?</p>

<p>In terms of SAT’s…although the collegeboard site indicates range of 660-740, since it is mixed with athletes and stuff, 610 Reading (perhaps the most important section on the SAT) may…hurt you.</p>

<p>So maybe try to take the November test and bring your score up? Rush the scores in if its good and dont send if its just crap.</p>

<p>But you do seem like a solid math student, and if you displayed considerable interest in Penn in your essays, your chance may be better.</p>

<p>Any leadership positions??</p>

<p>slight reach… and i dont think they still take PBT scores… but it’s a good ED school</p>
