Just a little FYI, you have to send all your scores to Penn. You might want to retake your ACT, as it falls on the lower side. Your brother being a current sophomore does actually help: The Daily Pennsylvanian :: Siblings get a boost in Penn admissions

well lets say I don't raise that ACT score, would I still have a realistic chance of being admitted ED? If not, what ACT score would be ideal?

knight2011

^ideal would be 33...31 is not too far off. It wont be the end of the world but it certainly wont be in your favor.

Yea, general consensus round here is that 33 is the lower cutoff for having an optimal score. Of course people are admitted with 32s and 31s (and lower), but a higher score is always better.
