Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi. I'm new to the site and wondering what my chances at PENN are (which is my dream school). Any comments on what I can do to improve my chances is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>3.94 GPA unweighted, 4.61 weighted at 29th nationally ranked high-school</p>

<p>760m 700cr 700w on SAT</p>

<p>730 Math II 680 Physics</p>

<p>Freshman Year I recieved straight As in all honors classes.</p>

<p>Sophomore year I took AP Government, got two Bs, but got a 5 on the exam. 1 other B in second semester honors English. Everything else honors and As.</p>

<p>Junior year I took AP Physics B, AP Language (got two 4s on the tests), IB French 5, and Advanced Precalculus. I once again recieved straight As.</p>

<p>Senior Year- AP Economics, AP Literature, AP Statistics, AP BC Calculus, AP Physics C, and IB French.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Freshman year--JV Baseball, concert band, pep band</p>

<p>Sophomore Year-JV Baseball, jazz band, symhonic band, pep band</p>

<p>Junior Year-Jazz Band, National Honor Society, French Honor Society, Tri-M Music Honor Society, jazz combo group that plays at local country clubs and restaurants, president of stock club which finished 9th (of 1300) in the mid-atlantic region in a region-wide stock game.</p>

<p>Senior Year (what I will do)-Jazz Band, NHS, FHS, MHS, jazz combo, "pit" at the theatre production, pres. of stock club, and treasurer of French Honor Society.</p>

<p>During the summers after freshman and sophomore year I was at a teen leadership camp that helped reconstruck the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay in order to prevent soil erosion.</p>

<p>This summer, after Junior Year, I am interning with the Department of Justice and with the general manger of a local baseball team that is composed of college all-stars.</p>

<p>It is also noteworthy that the jazz band I am in has won three Grammy Foundation Awards.</p>

<p>Demographic Information</p>

<p>White, Upper-Middle Class, from Bethesda, Maryland (just outside D.C.)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the help.</p>

<p>um, idk, maybe i am being harsh, but i didn't get in ed with higher stats and just as impressive ECs, so good luck to you, and don't get ur hopes up. I have seen kids with much much lower stats get in and kids like myself not get in.</p>

<p>Solid shot (less so if Wharton).</p>

<p>I plan on retaking the SAT IIs in october and my SATs in november. My SAT II scores were significantly lower than on practice tests that I took because during the test administration there was a constant beeping noise similar to the noise that a truck makes when it backs up. On two practice tests I took the friday before the exams I got a 790 on the math and a 770 on the physics. I hope that when I retake I can achieve those marks. Thanks for the advice.</p>
