<p>The fact that you’re low-income will definitely help you out. But just to be safe, I’d say UPenn is a high match/reach. Is there nothing you can do to improve your test scores?</p>

3

<p>I’m taking the SAT’s later in the month as well as retaking the ACT’s, but for the sake of an accurate analysis I’m guessing the scores will remain the same.</p>

<p>I’d say its a high reach :confused:
You definitely need high 700’s in the Math II test and I’m pretty sure they look for a 4.0, and a higher ACT score.</p>

<p>What would be a more reasonable school to strive towards if one is planning on majoring in economics/finance?</p>
