Am I being realistic?

Michellerekuc, great profile. Great essay idea! I agree that it’s worth looking into Questbridge. I think Penn is going to be tough admit due to class rank and the Cs in math. I wish I could give a different opinion. I would not ED there. Rutgers is very good and will have a greater diversity of economic backgrounds. I know you said you have worked every summer. Working is an EC and will be respected by admission readers. Make sure you list out the jobs on your applications as activities.

Justing adding as an aside to what Mwfan1912 has touched on - you are really going to have to drill down to the details of what you can afford and map out the exact source of all your needed funds. No acceptance is going to do you any good if you cannot afford the school because there is some type of gap.
