<p>Ok guys, I'm brand new to this discussion board and I'm looking for an accurate depiction of my chances of getting admitted to UPenn. Here's the deal, I'm currently in my sophomore year at East Carolina University in North Carolina majoring in Mathematics. If all goes well, I will be applying to UPenn with a GPA of 3.935 from ECU; my high school GPA was a solid 3.7. However, I screwed up royally on the SAT two years ago and I'm wondering how much of an emphasis Upenn will place on these low scores. Im utterly embarrassed to even mention my score, but I got an 1100, which is significantly below Upenns standards. To be honest, I have always thought Upenn to be quite out of reach for myself, but the more I talk to my professors and other counselors, I am getting the notion that I might have a reasonable chance at getting in. Of course there are other numerous factors that you have to consider such as my application essays and things of that nature, but just based on the information I have just presented, what are my chances??</p>
<p>They dont look at SATs if you are a junior I believe. No offense though, but why would you want to be in such a cutthroat environment? Why not look at UVA, UNC, Michigan, etc. ?</p>
<p>Well, for me the key factor is distance to home. I live about 40 min. to Philly & UNC, UVA, ect.... are just to far away from home for me. Plus, I'm looking for a smaller school; coming from a school of nearly 30,000 just was not my cup of tea. Thanks for the reply</p>
<p>Oh and I do have to send them my SAT scores, which is unfortunate...</p>
<p>You have to retake the SAT. I just can't see them accepting an 1100, they have to know you can compete there.</p>
<p>retake them as a sophomore in college?? Are you sure?</p>
<p>Being new to this forum, I must say I'm disappointed with the feedback I got, doesn't anyone have any input?</p>
