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.

this thread has been going for a long time.

i already applied to wharton through questbridge... i knew it was really selective, but if the answers on here are a reflection on the number of total applicants there will be a butt load applying to wharton... oh well i have a good shot. it's my number one, but i think i'll live if i don't get in.

i do want to be chanced but i don't want to get superficial...i suppose i'll just wait for the decision.

I've applied for ED College of Arts and Sciences.
The admissions dean visited our school about a month ago, and said that the chances for international students (esp. for Koreans) are getting low because the Chinese kids are so damn good. I'm a Korean and am not really looking forward to receiving an accepted mail from Penn.
Good luck to ya all though!
