<p>i’m applying to penn RD (college) and i was wondering what you think of my scores:</p>

<p>SAT I
730 m 750 v</p>

<p>SAT II</p>

<p>770 US History
690 Math 2C
800 Writing</p>

<p>i’m specifically kind of concerned about my Math 2C score (690). do you think that this will be a problem?</p>

<p>also the rest of my stats are:
3.98 gpa, 3 of 214 in class (weighted gpa)</p>

<p>6 APs by end of senior year </p>

<p>lots of community service, ecs, clubs, leadership, etc.
really, really good recs
and (hopefully) really good and solid essays
legacy at penn (i don’t know if this helps…)</p>

<p>Legacy helps in ED, not really in RD.</p>

3

<p>any more thoughts please?</p>

<p>yea big mistake not applying ED if you're a legacy... but otherwise you sound qualified. Decent shot, even if you take the legacy factor out of it. If the essays are good, the recs are good, and ur ECs are unique, you could get in, but who knows?</p>

5

<p>You are definitely qualified and you have as good of a shot as the rest of us. Nobody really can tell you exactly if you'll get in or not. Good luck :)</p>

6

<p>do you think that my 690 is a problem?</p>

7

<p>No. I applied with a lower SATII score...and they still took me. Basically, if they "want" you, they'll take you regardless of one SATII score. It won't get you rejected, and a higher score won't get you accepted.</p>

8

<p>You know you have just as good of a chance as anybody. Once you have good enough stats, which most people do, its kind of a crapshoot.</p>

<p>Look, I did completely crappy on my SAT, so I didn't even bother with the SAT IIs, I just let them have my ACT. I was deferred, so I think people put wayyy too much emphasis on scores. Test scores are important of course, but my theory is that they want a well-rounded individual. Of course, none of us know what goes through their minds, so we freak out and make our own theories and postulates. Just do what you can, give them a good idea of the kind of person/student you are, and then it is out of your hands. Basically, one just has to deal. Best of luck! You sound like a well-deserved applicant.</p>

<p>koreactor12 you are oh so right</p>

<p>my SAT scores were lower (700 M, 680 V) but I had a 33 on the ACT. I would say work hard on the essays because it tells a lot about you.</p>
