Would anyone mind taking a look at the "Why Penn?" essay I wrote? It's not that long...I'll be forever grateful if that means anything to you...

my friend got into Penn two years ago with an 1110 CR+M score, her overall was like a 1900 something but her transcript was very strong and her essays were good. She was an african female (permanent resident).

Well, I got in today for the Class of 2015 with a 31 ACT. I'm still in shock, but I'm so happy! I had a 5.18 weighted GPA and my extra curriculars were pretty good. My interview also went pretty well.
So, for any future years, even with not as high standardized test scores, you can still get into Penn!!

I got waitlisted from a very competitive area (and i'm white haha) with a 2150...which I thought was low by their standards. I'm happy!

I got in yesterday with a 1800 SAT and a 30 in the ACT. I'm from Puerto Rico and had really good ECs and was at the top 5% of my class.

I was accepted with 1880, superscored. I'm still expecting an "april fools" email from them soon.

I only had very strong extra-curriculars, a great common app essay, and a strong transcript at a competitive school in Philly (they usually accept 20ish kids each year from my school). I'm also really well-rounded (athletics, arts, music, etc).

My teacher recs were okay and SAT scores were horrible. I'm still not sure why they accepted me...

this thread has been sooo comforting
i have a 2150 SAT I, 760 SAT II Math and 740 SAT II USH,
took 4 APs junior year, APUSH 4, AP Lang 5, AP Calc AB 5, AP Chem 5
GPA is 4.5 weighted, 4.02 unweighted on a 4.3 scale
But I was told by my college counselor that I have 0% chance of getting in Penn Arts&Science ED so DONT EVEN APPLY
....i was pretty sad, do you guys think I stand a chance??
Cuz from reading these threads I don't think my chance is that bad right??? BTW I'm female, Asian from Cali
