Please help! Need advice on UPENN

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I really need some good advice...
My first choice school is UPenn, and I want to apply early decision, but am scared that my SATs will hold me back. Right now I have 570 writing, 650 math, and 610 verbal. I think I can get a higher score if I retake the SATs, but I still have to take the SATIIs, and then I won't have time to take the SATIs again if I apply early decision.</p>

<p>My GPA is 4.11 right now, will probably rise to 4.2, ranked 1st in class (out of about 350, and I'm the only one ranked 1st).
I am a minority (vietnamese) I'm taking classes at the University of Oregon, focusing on business. I will have my business administration minor requirements completed by the time I'm done with high school. I'm the FBLA co-president for two years, NHS officer, and will join DECA. I have a 4.15 at the University of Oregon, and have 20 credits. I also volunteer about 8 hours a week and work 30 hours a week.</p>

<p>What are my chances? Should I apply regular admissions to take my SATs again? I would really rather not, but if I have NO chance of getting in based on my SAT scores now, then I guess I'll have to.
Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I think your chance is about 10%. so take sat again.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance <em>if</em> they overlook your SAT scores. Your SAT II writting score is low (just like mine). Do take your SAT I over again. I had many undergrad and grad courses in physics with my local college just like you did with business administration. I got rejected at UPenn but accepted at Dartmouth both RD.</p>

<p>I think you already know this (and knew before you posted)...You need to take the SATs again to go to Penn. If you have a 4.0+ at a college already, and are #1 in your class, you are capable of better SAT scores.</p>

<p>Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>Penn accepts the November SAT I/IIs, so it's possible for you to take the II's in October and then retake the I's in November, or vice versa.</p>
