<p>hello, i am going to be a junior in high school in about a month, currently have a GPA of 3.8, i came to the united states when i was in 7th grade so the english language was a problem for me. i will have honors classes on 12th grade. i do volunteering, and community services and some clubs. I am nubian from sudan so my race is very uncommon. I am only 15 so when i graduate high school, i will be 16. Please help what are my chances of getting to upenn? also if any 1 is attending there, what was ur GPA and SAT score, and do you kno of any 1 who has GPA less that 3.8 that attends there. Thank You. </p>
<p>i want to study pre-med, so i want to attend school of medicine.</p>
<p>i have more than enough credits in high school, like i take classes during my lunch, and advisory, by the time i graduate, i will have 7 science classes, and 6 math classes, 4 social studies, 4 english, 5 spanish classes.</p>
<p>Your GPA and unusual (relative to other Penn applicants) background will work in your favor. There is no pre-med major at Penn, and the med school is a graduate school (meaning you need an undergraduate degree). You will probably want to apply to the college of arts and sciences.</p>
<p>pinknlimited2, I'm in the same situation you are. I came to the US in the 7th grade from Africa although English was not much of a problem. I will also be 16 when I graduate. I'm in no position of determining your chances but if I were to be an admission officer, if your SATs are good, with your GPA, a good essay and some some good recs, I think you have a shot. Also, some AP classes should help.</p>
<p>Again, I really can't gauge your chances of acceptance because I'm just an anxious student fighting for a spot, just like you but if I was an admission officer, that would be my perspective.</p>
<p>thank you guys. i have not taken the SATs yet, but i was in science club, newspaper club, and a homeroom representative. But i volunteer in hospitals and other places.</p>
