Hey, I’m a highschool rising junior and I wish to go to the University of Pennsylvania. I have an unweighted GPA of 3.85, I’ve taken all the AP courses that have been offered to freshmen and sophomores at my school and I have scored 5s on all of the AP exams and I’m in the top 15% of my class. I’m a competitve member of my FBLA chapter. I ranked second in my region and ninth in the state of Georgia in Accounting 1 and I also ranked eleventh in Introduction to Buisness in Georgia this year. I’m a member of Mu Alpha Theta, the math honor society, the National Society of High School Scholars and I’m also eligible to join the science and english honor societies aswell. I was also invited to join the Congress of Future Scientists and Technologists in their meeting in summer at Massachusetts. I’m a student athlete, and I currently play lacrosse for my highschool; I was awarded the Scholar Athlete award this season. I have also played club soccer, tennis; I participated in track and field events such as the 100 meter dash, 200 meters and long jump, and I swam. I was also selected to attend an entrepreneurship course hosted at Georgia Tech, and I managed to secure admissions at Cornell for their summer program called Buisness World this year. I am in my third year of learning German, and I was awarded a gold medal for being in the top 5% of all german students in the US. I am also a decent artist and I play the guitar. I have recieved letter awards for academics twice already and my unweight cumulative average is 91.33 - which is at its all time low. I also scored a 1300 (out of 1600) on the New PSAT and was one of the first people to take it. For what its worth, I have taken the following buisness classes: Introduction to Buisness and Technology and Accounting 1, and this year i will be taking Financial Literacy upon which I will be indudcted into the National Buisness Honor Society. My goal is to major in finance and make it to Wharton someday. I am an Asian-American male, and I would really appreciate any and all feedback.
Sounds really good. Try to have your sat be higher than your psat. 1300 isnt too high. I would gear your plans towards penn. if you really want to go, I suggest applying early decision and do summer programs at UPenn. I would like to hear feedback on my chances also:

Note: My sophomore classes are all prerequisites for Junior year.
@Arman23. You’re ECs look great and you have a decent GPA. I don’t know how you’re school system works but try and get as many AP or IB courses done. I’m graduating with 12. Also since you’re only a rising sophomore you should also focus on raising your GPA a little bit. Penns average GPA is a 3.9. A good website I use is prep scholar. It tells you you’re chances and is a pretty good source for info. Just google penn and prep scholar you should find it. Thanks for the review, appreciate it brother
