UPenn LPS Questions

Hello, I am interested in applying to LPS. I am 20 years old, graduated HS but could not go to university due to health issues. But now I am all good now. I have a few questions about LPS.

  1. How important is the SAT/ ACT score ? I know that for trad undergrad, people usually quote the 1/3 EC, 1/3 Grades +scores, 1/3 rec letter ratio. What would be the ratio of SAT/ACT score for LPS?

  2. Do 20 year old have a difficult time getting in? I know u arent allowed a full course load until 21, would this translate into a lower acceptance rate for below 21 applicants?

  3. What is the acceptance rate? I have fairly good HS GPA (3.8), good recs, and goods EC. While in HS, I got accepted to UC Berkeley, but couldnt attend due to health reasons as mentioned above. And now it is too late for UC apps lol, but Penn LPS is sounding like an even better choice if I get in !!!

Thanks

Hey @Desiree2 I’m also interested in getting some insight on if I should apply with no prior college history. Did you end up getting an answer? Thanks
