<p>I am a sophomore in high school with a 3.8 unweighted GPA and 4.5 weighted. My junior and senior year I will be taking 6 AP courses altogether. I'm an officer of multiple clubs in school and participate in sports year-round.
The only thing I'm worried about is that I have 2 B+'s in both math and science which is where I should be my strongest if I were to pursue the med field. Do you think I have any chance of being accepted?</p>
<p>What is your SAT score?</p>
<p>I took PSATs in the fall and scored a 210</p>
<p>You are on the right track. Just try to separate yourself from other applicants, do something that would be state or nationally recognized or start some obscure club.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks!</p>
<p>No one here knows. Why don’t you ask them?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uhh no. Don’t start some obscure club. Red flag: Here’s another completely forgettable resume padding robot.</p>
<p>Don’t ask for chances and advice from other HS students.</p>
<p>Here’s what you should try to do if you truly want to be a viable PENN applicant: BECOME someone who genuinely loves learning and engaging the world around him/her. Don’t DO things. BECOME something.</p>
<p>If you think it’s a laundry list of things to do, clubs/leadership roles to achieve – then your chances are already severely dimmed. Here’s the irony:real ivy caliber applicants – don’t need Ivy schools. They are already on track to do great things and a top school is just the natural after effect. In one sense, they aren’t focused on something so transient as a degree from Penn or Columbia or Harvard. Their vision is on something else. And that’s what makes them attractive to top schools. </p>
<p>If you’re just aiming to “appear” as a top student, then you’re sights are too low.</p>
<p>^Is a top school an after effect? Maybe but an Ivy League school probably is not. I see what you’re saying though. I think so many talented kids apply that many kids on track to do great things are rejected.</p>
<p>Listen to T26E4 ^, he/she knows what’s up. “BECOME someone who genuinely loves learning and engaging the world around him/her. Don’t DO things. BECOME something.”</p>
<p>you have a goodshot.nothing wrong with your stats.Become something.Brilliant advice!</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice! For the record, I did notice “jonesguy14” is a HS student but I was being polite and took into consideration what he had to say. I think you are right about what you said but are you speaking from someone who is attending or attended an ivy league school?</p>
