<p>2230 sat i, varying on the subject tests, skipped the autobiographical essay. salutatorian (also the only person from my school who applied), decent/passionate ECs, my "why penn" essay was good now that i look back on it. hook = URM, i've really taken charge of my high school education and i've gone to three schools and have adapted remarkably well at all of them. & i live in north carolina.</p>
