<p>I'm really wondering about what my chances are at UPenn. I'm applying ED. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>female from CT</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted. weighted it will probably be close to 5.0? i'm not sure</p>
<p>Rank: i should be 1/650ish (but i can't have a rank at my school because i moved in the middle of high school and haven't been at my school for 4 semeesters)</p>
<p>SATI: 770M, 730CR, 800W (2300, and i only took them once)
SATII: 790 on US History
taking math II in october (expecting definitely over 700, hopefully closer to 800)</p>
<p>AP Scores: APUS - 5

AP Spanish - 4
AP Music Theory - 3</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars: Varsity Field Hockey, 2 years
Varsity Soccer, 1 year (when i moved i could no longer play both sports so i picked field hockey)
Rec Soccer since I could walk
JV Field Hockey, 1 year
LOTS of volunteering through a few different organizations (at Sunday School, a daycare for underprivileged children, with autistic children, at summer camps, etc....probably somewhere near 400 hours if i had to guess)
NHS, Interact, Key Club, Model UN, Academic World Quest, Best Buddies, Copy Editor at award-winning school newspaper, etc.
Piano for 12 years (member of National Piano Guild for 5 years)
Representative on State student education council
Girl Scouts until I moved in soph year</p>
<p>Work Experience: summer jobs...worked as one-on-one aide for campers with disabilities and as a regular camp counselor</p>
<p>Awards/Honors: National Merit Commended Scholor
1st Place in a local literary competition
Yale Book Award at my school
IBMYP certificate of participation (i moved away 6 months before the end of the program)
A lot of those dumb scholar/athlete awards they give out
Girl Scout Gold Award
Honor roll, blah blah</p>
<p>Recs: I'm expecting them to be pretty good. One of my teachers told me I was brilliant and the other practically begged to write a rec for me. I make friends with my teachers haha :)</p>
<p>Essays: Hopefully these will come together really well. I'm a good writer and I have a lot of "life experience" that I can draw on for an essay, so hopefully I'll be able to impress admissions officers....still working on it. My essay will definitely be unique, and my "why penn" will be easy to write because I'm sooo in love with the school.</p>
<p>Other stuff: - I wrote a curriculum to educate "typical" elementary school students about learning disabilities to try to alleviate teasing/bullying
- I don't know if this will help but a good family friend has given a fair amount of money to Penn over the years and has friends in the upper echelons of the university, and he offered to "put in a good word" for me
- I took a mini-course at Summer@Brown</p>
<p>So what do you think my chances are? Pleaseeeeeeeee?</p>
