<p>2250+ SAT (Nearly therebut im working on it, looking at maybe a 2300+ if I luck out)
3.8 HS GPA (working on it)
Lots of clubs (working on the high up roles)
Out of school activities like teaching at my sunday school, and attending very advanced arabic classes, weightlifting, soccer, pingpong, getting a teaching job when im old enough this summer at kumon, I had some poetry published a few years back in middle school...would that count?, lots of summer camps, i went to a weekly medical career program at the local hospital for 3/4 months in fresh year, and did 1 shadowing session and im trying to get another in the surgery room, science fair and history day, though i didnt get far...</p>
<p>150+ volunteering hours at my local library and i mite try to get a volunteering post at the local hospital this summer</p>
<p>Im trying very hard to get a spot to attend a "Mini-Med School" at my local hospital soon.</p>
<p>I know the GPA sucks, but would it help if I told them that I we from a 4.0 kid to 3.5 and then back to 4.0?
Do they do interviews, cuz I'm pretty good at interviews with people
For the SAT, I've worked on a level unimaginable and crazy, so that hopefully shouldnt be a problem.
Plz be truthful. Im a junior and I want to know if theres even a chance, cuz I need some motivation rite now</p>
<p>of course you have a chance. 2250+ is a really good SAT score and your GPA is not totally bad. You have time to raise it. Work hard and you’ll do it. Just make sure you get good positions in clubs that you are actually passionate about. Don’t go all over the place. If you like science, involve yourself around scientific things. Focus on one or two things you care about and build up on those. For instance, if you like science, try to find a research position at a lab, and who knows, you may end up publishing something :] That’ll totally make you stand out. </p>
<p>Yes, penn does interviews, but it is random. You may or may not get one depending on whether there are alumni around your area. But even if you don’t get an interview, there is nothing to worry about because interviews don’t count for much. It is the least important part of your application.</p>
<p>Of course! Penn would take someone like that! Now, whether or not they WILL is another story. Admissions at schools like Penn are notoriously difficult, at in certain instances, seemingly random. Keep in touch with the admissions office and get to “learn the ropes” if you know what I mean. Find the admissions counselor for your area, and get in touch with questions!

<p>no, more like you look at an institutions webpage, find the faculty page and start emailing scientists asking if you can work or volunteer in their lab, why you are interested, and send them like a resume too. That’s what i did. So for example, i wanted a position at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. So i went to their webpage and they have different departments for the School of Medicine, so i chose the one I was interested in, checked out the faculty, and read their bios. If one person’s research stands out to you, then email them. But it takes a while, because you will be rejected A LOT. Some scientists will say they don’t want high schoolers working in their lab or you’re not experienced enough. I e-mailed at least 20 scientists before i found a lab :] But trust me, it pays off and the lab experience is worthwhile.</p>

<li><p>Where did you find the faculty emails? (On the UPenn site)</p></li>
<li><p>What do you put for the resume? All the advanced classes you took? Or things like clubs or stuff like that?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>2) It was actually a curriculum vitae. That just means it was like a resume, but more detailed and lengthy. So you put all your contact info on top, and then i guess you can list your educational accomplishments/background, then scientific achievements (if you have any), extra curriculars, Awards/Honors. If you took like AP Bio or AP Chemistry you can put that under educational achievements saying “enrolled in ____ class”. You can look up sample CV’s online if you are unsure of the format. </p>
<p>You are full of ****, there is no patent on conserving solar power. That would mean you are all the only person that can conserve solar power. Everyone who has solar panels conserves solar power for use when it is night. For that reason your patent might come from Toys r Us, but in the real world you have nothing.</p>
<p>^ That’s a bit brazen, don’t you think? I imagine his patent is about something that helps conserve solar power, not specifically a patent on conserving solar power.</p>
