<p>Asian from California with one semester of 3.33. Not too sure it will happen but ED is the only shot you may have.</p>

<p>Besides from your academics, your ECs are weak. From my friends who attend penn, they all had very compelling essays and meaningful EC involvement in a very developed interest. If you’re looking into finance, idk what you’ve done thus far to back that up?</p>

<p>Then again, UPenn does have really high ED rates. Best of luck!!</p>

<p>Are you applying to Wharton? If so it doesn’t look good. Academics aren’t top notch and neither are the ECs (if you are an Asian from Cali). CAS won’t be as bad with ED.</p>

<p>Colleges aren’t going to say " oh, AP bio’s teacher must of sucked" they’re gonna blame you. You better have a really good SAT score to make up for it.</p>
