<p>you SAT I scores are really weak, and although Penn doesn't place an emphasis on SATs, your scores are well below the average. Admitted applicants with such scores are usually those who are amazing recruited athletes. And you seem to be unhooked. If you're REALLY interested in Penn, still apply, but be prepared for bad news.</p>

<p>Thank you for your kindness to chance me out, yzheng227 :)</p>

<p>Yeah... my SAT 1 is just terrible, thats why I'm retaking it on January 26th.</p>

<p>If I manage to get close to 2100, then would I have more chance? :P</p>

<p>I think that if you're passionate, at least a 2200 on the SATs will place you on level playing ground with other applicants. good luck!</p>

<p>Improve the SATs and you have a legit shot.</p>

<p>Thank you so much guys, your comments are really appreciated!</p>

<p>To be honest, Upenn has been both my father's dream school, though he couldn't make it. (he made Michigan instead) I guess, though he never said it, he really want me to get in.</p>

<p>So, I shall try my best to get 2100+ SAT 1. And, I'm gonna send a 10-page history cartoon. I actually drew lots of history comics for the past few years.</p>

<p>Anywayz, thx guys!</p>
