My guess is that Penn is a low reach (25% to 50% chance of admission) if you apply ED (and thus in my view a very good use of ED if it is your first choice and money is no object). Grades and SATs solid for Penn but not outstanding. ECs though are quite interesting and may put you over the top. My understanding is being Indian not a hook , but not an anti-hook either (like Chinese)

Thanks so much @muckdogs07, yes Penn is my first choice and no im not applying for financial aid. Quick question though, do you think i have decent chance at other ivies that are NOT HYPS?

Even non-HYPS Ivies are reaches but here I hesitate between high match and reach status.

you've definitely got a great shot at Penn. Keep this up and I would be surprised if you weren't accepted ED

I think you have a good shot at Penn but getting into Ivys is also luck. You have solid GPA, test scores, abd ECs, so you are a strong candidate. You asked whether or not being Indian would affect your chances. I do not think so. Last year, three people from my school got into Penn, and they were all Asian men. Thus, you should not worry about it. Good luck and thanks for chancing me!

I think you have a pretty good chance of applying to and getting in. You have a great GPA and decent SATS (<prlly the only thing i'd improve if you still have time.. i assume you don't).
GL man i think you'll get in
