<p>'Alllo. So, I'm a rising senior, and ever since I was about 8 years old, it's been my dream to go to Penn. I've visited back on many an occasion, since a great deal of my relatives live around there - as well as my boyfriend - and I have not become disenchanted. I have a 3.8/9 GPA, am improving already high SAT scores, and have a decent amount of volunteer work and ECs. I'm not looking for any one to chance me quite yet, but can someone tell me what I should do that would help me get in? </p>
<p>Besides "try your hardest" and "focus on the app essay", please.</p>
