<p>Like your High School, my high school also prepare us well for the PSSAs and the PSAT. We took the PSAT for 3 years including freshmen year and another one for Sophmore year and up until Junior year and by Junior year, we are required to take prep class too. Not all urban schools are like what you have assumed it to be. Public schools such as Masterman, Central High, and Girls' High in the Philadelphia school district did better than the a lot of suburbans school and if not all, 99% of their students attend college for higher education. It is as competitive for us as it is for suburbans school when it comes to admission to the Ivy.
If I do get accept to Penn, I will go for Wharton majoring in of International Business. I have taken 4 years of Mandarin Chinese in HS so I might as well go with it too in college. If I don't get accepted, I will try to get into USP or Drexel majoring in pre-med if not Pharmacy.</p>
