Transfer With Poor HS GPA?

<p>Hello everyone, </p>

<p>I am debating on whether to transfer to Upenn for my sophomore or junior year. </p>

<p>The last semester of HS I performed poorly, and it greatly affected my GPA. Also, my test scores are not very strong. </p>

<p>I am retaking the ACT. </p>

<p>However I have an incredibly strong essay, and letters of recommendation. </p>

<p>I'm in currently in the "pre-med path", and I am certain I can pull a 4.0. </p>

<p>So here's my hypothetical stats by the time I apply. </p>

<p>College GPA: 4.0
College course load: sciences and maths
EC: Activities that have deep meaning to me.
Essays: Ridiculously strong (subjective)
ACT: 32 currently </p>

<p>I am interested in Penn's biomedical engineering program. </p>

<p>Btw. I'm also interested in Yale, Duke, and Standford.</p>
