<p>Seriously? Did you even read what he’s asking for? He’s not asking it explicitly, but he’s pretty much asking whether he can gain admission at Penn and Chicago with a strong essay to compensate for his sub-par SAT1s &2s. I don’t see anywhere in his post where he’s asking you to give him false hope or anything. I think he, unlike you, is assuming that the admission processes at the schools he’s applying to are concerned with more than simply test scores, class rank, and GPA. </p>
<p>Stay on topic, (or rather, try harder to understand the question before you attempt to answer.)</p>
