<p>Sure you can apply, if you can afford it. </p>

<p>The only thing I would recommend is raising your ACT score. Also, I believe Penn requires subject tests. Have you taken any?</p>

3

<p>Your ACT drops below Penn’s 25th percentile, which may be a problem. Can you retake it in October?</p>

4

<p>yeah i think ill do literature and us history sat 2s in october.
no more act thanks lol
and doesnt penn superscore?
if so id have a 31</p>

5

<p>To be honest your ACTs are too low (penn does not superscore ACTs only SATs) I think you are wasting your ED shot…
You should apply to a college slightly less competitive ED so that you can exploit the ED advantage.</p>

6

<p>Although I am not positive, I don’t believe you need the subject tests with the ACT, although you do with the SAT.</p>

<p>^ Just confirming that burry is correct.</p>
