| Chance Me
I was wondering what my chances are
I have a 3.1 gpa at a school that has sent 40% of its senior class of about 150 to the Ivy league every year.
Last year of 13 accepted to Penn the average gpa was 3.5 and average SAT score 1440 of 1600
We also sent 2 black males neither of them athletes,one to MIT and another to Dartmouth, with 2.9 gpas and sub 1400 SAT scores
I am a hispanic male, 2 were accepted to Penn last year with 32 ACT and 3.4 gpa
I am also first generation
I am not sure if I should apply to the engineering school or even wharton
SAT-
670-Reading
720-Writing
800-Math
SAT IIs
Math 1-710
Chem-770
Math II-800
Senior Year Course load(1st trimester grades-which are not factored into gpa)

Junior Year Course Load
