<p>Your SAT is decent, but your GPA is a bit low, and its good that your essay addresses this. Your ECs look great...being class president is not a bad thing at all. </p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, but not a great chance mainly due to your GPA, it would have been better for you to apply ED. However, you're still a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I applied ED and got in....I had a 3.3 unweighted GPA as well...my SAT was 1460</p>

<p>thanks for your help! i was originally planning to apply ed to nyu, but my parents strongly suggested i apply ed to penn (even though i knew i had no chance in hell)- they both went there...</p>
