<p>Hi. i was wondering what you guys thought my chances were of getting into Penn. I'm an African American student that lives in West Philadelphia. I go to the 53rd ranked public school in the country (Masterman). I have a 3.85 GPA. 1980 SAT Score (630M, 680V, 670W). I received a 670 on the SATII BIOM and a 570 on the Physics SATII. I also had a 4.0 GPA at a Dual Enrollment BIology Course at Community College of Philadelphia. I have all honors/AP's (AP Calc BC,AP Phisics: C, Honors Social science:Government/Economics,Honors English, Honors African American History, and Honors Biology) I have alot of extra-curriculars, community service, etc. Strong recommendations and really good essays. I was also accepted into a science internship at Thomas Jefferson University. I will be researching gene amplification, silencing and manipulation. I'm trying to get into the College of Arts and Sciences. I want to major in biology (with a concentration in pre-med) Do you think I can get in?</p>
<p>Your stats are pretty low for Upenn. I don't think your urm status will make up for the 1980 SAT (it should be atleast 2100). </p>
<p>Are you a junior or senior. If you are a junior, I strongly reccomend retaking the SAT.</p>
<p>ps: You go to my dream (high) School!!! I wanted to go to masterman so bad, but sadly, you have to live in philadelphia; I live in a suburb outside of philadelphia...</p>
