Hi. i was wondering what you guys thought my chances were of getting into Penn. I'm an African American student that lives in West Philadelphia. I go to the 53rd ranked public school in the country (Masterman). I have a 3.85 GPA. 1980 SAT Score (630M, 680V, 670W). I received a 670 on the SATII BIOM and a 570 on the Physics SATII. I also had a 4.0 GPA at a Dual Enrollment BIology Course at Community College of Philadelphia. I have alot of extra-curriculars, community service, etc. Strong recommendations and really good essays. Do you think I can get in?

I'd be surprised if you didn't get in.

I forgot to mention that I also got accepted into a Science Internship at Thomas Jefferson University. i will be researching viral genetics and embryology. Does anyone think that this will help too?
