holy ■■■■ with that SAT score you can go wherever you want. Also not only do you have great standardized testing scores, you have a good GPA, good ECs, and applying ED will bump up your chances. I think its a match honestly. Could you please chance me back?

Based on your stats, I would say your chances of acceptance are pretty high. I think you will be admitted. Don’t submit World history SAT. That 680 might not look great. Good luck!
UPenn requires all standardized test scores be sent
Oh ok. I don’t think that will affect you much. Good luck
You are pretty much a lock at ED. If you want to eventually work in business, don’t apply Econ CAS- it would be much better to apply ED Wharton.
@puzzled123 wharton would be much more unlikely ED, right?
Yes, but your stats are pretty good. If you are really interested in doing econ, you should probably taking a look at other programs before you bind yourself to Penn (although its econ is pretty good). If you want to do business however, definitely apply to Wharton- they get the majority of the recruiting, and do a much better job in directly preparing you for joining the workforce.
I feel with your profile you could get into a more selective school or program than Penn CAS, but if Econ at Penn really is your top choice, then you should apply ED.
I think you are certainly a competitive applicant for Penn but I am not sure what everyone is jumping up and down about. You perfect score boosts your chances to about 30% ( perhaps slightly more because you are applying ED). Your ECs, however, are not particularly impressive and you lack depth in any one area so I would say you might be looking at a deferall in the ED round. In any event, my guess is no better than anyone else’s here. Good luck to you!
I don’t think anyone is a lock for penn, or any other elite school, but you look like your have a very strong chance of admission with CAS. Best of luck! Write some great essays
