Would UPenn take in a student with these things?

<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>
