What it really takes to get into UPenn

<p>I mean some people have 4.6 GPA, great SAT scores and other stuff, but they get rejected by UPenn and other IVY league schools.
I mean how outstanding to u have to be to get into an IVY League school?
It seems like being a founder of a club or a president of a club is not a big deal among tha IVY League applicants. What do u really need to get in there?</p>

<p>passion for what you do.</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>

<p>I must agree with the aforementioned comment. Passion is all that matters, well, not really, but passion is huge. Are you a freshman by chance? I could help some more if I knew what grade you were in.</p>

<p>Passion. And a ton of luck.</p>

<p>the guy who got in at my school had decent classes, but had a 2300 SAT score. </p>

<p>Also he made a documentary about oppresed women in China and displayed it to students at school. I guess that made him look extremely philanthropic.</p>

<p>I can tell you that no matter what, it’s worth applying. I just got in, and really didn’t have remarkable anything. So go for it.</p>
