<p>So I'm a rising senior, and it seems surreal to actually be applying to college.
I remember sauntering the halls at school and listening to Seniors talk about college, and I thought it'd NEVER come.
Anyway, UPenn is my top choice. Assess my profile?</p>
<p>Asian Male from NY from a public magnet.
Major: I plan to double major, one in business (not sure exactly what area) and French.</p>
<p>GPA: My school is really secretive about rank and GPA for some reason, but by my calculations should be: UW: 3.88, W: 3.99
Decreasing trend from 4 to about 3.92 to about 3.71.
Note: Though my W and UW are similar, my school decided to deflate GPA this year and last for reasons beyond me. I have taken the most challenging load available.</p>
<p>School doesn't rank, but roughly the second half of the top 10%.</p>
<p>SAT: Highest Single Sitting CR-680 M-750 W-760, 1430/2190
Superscore: CR-710 M-750 WR-760 1460/2220</p>
<p>SAT II's: 740 Math II, 640 USH I will retake the US because I got a 5 on the AP</p>
<p>AP: Psych 5 (self-study, one of few in my school to ever pull a 5 on this) , USH 5, Micro 3, English Lit 3, World History 3.</p>
<p>EC's Sports:
Varsity Soccer 4 yrs, Varsity Swimming 3 yrs (Scholar-Athlete), Varsity Track and Field 4 yrs (Captain 12)
EC Activities: NYS Math League 2 yrs, Guitar playing 5 yrs, Multi-Cultural Club 2 yrs.</p>
<p>Jobs: Did math tutoring in and out of school, taught English abroad.
Volunteer: 50 hours at an historic landmark, 90 hours abroad</p>
<p>Programs: Economics for Leaders</p>
<p>Awards: AP Scholar with Distinction
A College Book Award
Congressional Award Bronze/Silver Certificates</p>
<p>Essay: Not too sure. My teachers and peers liked it, but CC'ers told me it basically blows. So I may just write a different topic.</p>
<p>Recs: Counselor doesn't like me that much, but the other two from teachers should be great.</p>
<p>Is it unrealistic to even apply? Or am I qualified?
Chances por favor?</p>
