<p>Hey everybody,</p>
<p>I'm really interested into getting into UPENN. I have an avg gpa, a high sat, and lots of ec's, but that's not what I want to ask about</p>
<p>Last summer, I got an internship at a UPENN research facility. The lab head is a professor at Penn and she absolutely loved me during the time I spent there. This summer, I will be at the same internship at the same lab and will also be volunteering at the hospital at the university of Pennsylvania. I'm sure she'll write me an amazing rec, so I'm just wondering how much this summer stuff will influence my application to Penn. Since I was a little kid, I wanted to go there, and will be ed'ing there</p>
<p>How much weight does this summer internship and amazing rec from a professor count for?</p>
<p>Will I be able to count these hours as volunteer hours? I didn't get a stipend last summer but this summer I will</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
