My test scores are not that great but I have something which sets me apart. I founded my own business at age 11 and have been running it ever since. I grossed $35k in sales last year and have been part of many extracurriculars pertaining to this. In addition I do some community service and am part of some clubs. ACT 28 GPA 3.7. I am taking October ACT and will hopefully get 30. I will send senior year report card with 4.2 GPA. What do you guys think my chances of getting in are?
@dsss643 I hear where you’re coming from. UPenn admissions – and really all Ivy admissions – are rather random and there’s no telling whether your GPA/SAT will tank your chances for admission or whether your amazing ECs will prevail. You do have a shot and if UPenn is truly where you want to go, I would recommend applying ED.
Test scores are too low and GPA is on the lower side. I don’t think you have a very good shot at making it, but by all means try if you really want to.
