<p>My name is Jen, I'm currently 15 years old. I've gotten straight A's since pre-k, and the Presidential Academic Excellence award in 6th. I'd be considered a highschool sophomore, but instead of going to high school, we are working it out with board of ed for me to finish at a community college. Basically I'm going to high school at college. I'm taking college classes, and doing great in them. I would graduate in 2012 at 18, with a high school diploma, and a general studies associates degree. I'm not the kid who dreams of ivy league and studies their brains out, while doing everything under the sun. I'm the person who doesn't really study, gets A's, been in choirs, plays and different ECs, but would love to go to an ivy league and become someone great some day. </p>

<p>Any advice? give it up? or things to do?</p>

<p>First step: Stop calling it UPENN.</p>

4

<p>Why not? Even their website is upenn.edu</p>

5

<p>because that’s not the proper name</p>

<p>it’s penn - as reiterated by every campus official and admissions officer</p>

<p>facebook just changed the “upenn” network to “penn” in light of this</p>

<p>Take the SATs first, then we’ll talk</p>

<p>Here are a list of things I would recommend:

  1. Challenge yourself - otherwise you might not grow as a person.
  2. Find a few activities you really enjoy and pour your heart and soul into them.
  3. Keep on succeeding at a high level academically.</p>
