How does that GPA convert to a 4.0 scale?

Awesome ACT score. SAT IIs could be better. I've heard typically you want to aim above 700 on at least two or three exams. However, you will not have to send them to Penn if you do not want to (but you will need them for other schools).

Your ECs are fine. If you apply ED to Penn you have a good shot. Not a guarantee though. Someone else can give better advice.

i think my gpa for junior year was a 3.72 or something, but i got that by dividing 94/100 and multiplying that by 4...im taking sat 2 lit and phys in october and i hope to get above 700 on both.
