My grandfather got a degree from Penn so I have legacy. I am also applying early decision. so that’s two things working in my favor…
However, my academics and scores are only mediocre, i have no outstanding extacurriculars, and honestly nobody wants an Asian, especially one like me.
SAT scores:
CR: 680
W:680
M: 710
SAT II:
Math 2: 760
Bio E: 720
ACT Composite: 30
weighted GPA: 3.97
I am an officer in the California Scholarship Federation at my school (2 years) but it’s not like president or vp or anything. I am currently committee chair of organizing the Northern California Regional Conference. I went to Mexico twice on short term mission trips with the church. I am a volunteer at my church’s annual VBS and I volunteer for other small things at church like cleaning weekly. but that’s it, really.
I don’t do sports. or robotics or any of those things. Awards-wise, I got like an academic award for Spanish 1 in freshman year. Pretty lame, I know, but there’s nothing else.
I really want to go to UPenn, though (well, who doesn’t haha). How much of a chance do you think I have, and what major do you suggest I apply as?
Thanks
