<p>THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.
I plan on ED'ing to UPenn CAS, then RD to Rice, Northwestern, Brown and Cornell. </p>
<p>I think i have a pretty good chance of getting for ED, BUT last year was my worst academic year. in freshman year, i had 1 B, in sophomore year i had straight A's, but last year i had 5 B's and one C. Do i stand a chance for Penn or any of the other schools still? I mean i have great specs in terms of EC's but the GPA is not that great....</p>
<p>My HS is not ranked very high, but has a very good reputation. Average class size is about 800, 50+ National merit semi-finalists yearly, about 40 students attend very prestigious universities.
I hope to do pre-med</p>
