Hi All! I would really appreciate if you can kindly jot down your thoughts about my chance to get into UPenn CS. (Cornell, NYU, UMich if possible) Few words can really help.
Unweighted 3.73/ Weighted 4.40
Superscored SAT 1600 (by alone 1580)
SAT Math II 800
I‘m an Asian female, so I feel like expectations are relatively higher for me from the perspective of college admission officers.
** I‘m a rising senior so my gpa is pretty much set(It‘s really low). Straight As in freshman year then several Bs in sophomore and junior years...
*** I‘m planning to take the SAT Physics in August.
**** FYI My extracurricular isn’t outstanding(no national lv): Varsity Sport 4 yrs, President of two school clubs, research w/ a prof this summer at Uchicago, Engineering program last summer and earned stipend, Tutoring and other volunteering 400+ hrs, district ambassador award, and other honors and awards like nhs and ap scholar stuff
I think you definitely have a shot. Are you applying regular or early? The SAT is good and if your essays are good as well I think you should do well with UPenn.
Your GPA is on the lower side but what kind of course rigor did you have? APs? IB? Which classes did you get your Bs? If they were non STEM, it may not matter as much. If your course rigor was high, I I think with your high test scores you could be in the running. Be sure to have match and safety schools too!
I have the same problem as you with low gpa and high test scores! Your test scores are great, maybe try to explain why you had a low gpa. If you committed your time towards an activity outside of school, etc.
i have a similar problem but my gpa and sat are on the higher side ( 3.97 unwieggted, 4,75 weighted) sat score is 1530 and taking act)
i think u have a good chance as long as u knock essay out of park good luck!! apply ED
i have the same background and similar ecs so hopefully we both get in!!!
