Old SAT: 2130
I took the new SAT in June so I haven’t gotten my scores yet but I think my score improved from the last time.
US History Subject Test: 760
Weighted GPA: 4.9
Unweighted GPA: 4.0
I’m involved in marching band (named drill captain for senior year), concert band (librarian sophomore year and publicist junior year), school newspaper (arts and entertainment editor for senior year), community service club, ambassador’s club, National Honor Society, Tri-M Music Honor Society. I swam for my high school freshman and sophomore year, and I swam competitively for my local YMCA for ten years.
I have auditioned and been accepted to the PMEA District Band sophomore year, Archdiocesan All-Catholic Band freshman, sophomore, and junior year, and Archdiocesan All-Catholic Orchestra senior year. I did the Chester County Science Fair and Delaware Valley Science Fair freshman year, and I won the Daughters of the American Revolution essay contest freshman and sophomore years.
At school, I have taken the most challenging courses possible, scoring a 5 on the AP US Government exam sophomore year (the only AP class available for sophomores at my school) and doing very well in AP English Language, AP US History, and AP Biology junior year (scores come out in a few weeks, I think I likely scored 5s on most of them, and definitely no less than a 4 on any of them). Next year, I am taking AP Statistics, AP English Literature, AP Comparative Government, and honors computer programming, as well as other challenging classes.
If I plan on double majoring in communications and political science, what are my chances of getting into Penn?
It’s a reach but you might get in. Applying ED would help significantly
If you can increase that SAT score to a 1500 (on the new scale), you have a pretty good chance. Also, doesn’t Penn require two SAT 2 exams?
I think it’s just suggested and not required now, but I am planning on taking another test in the fall so I have two.
