Hi, guy’s. Can someone chance me? I applied to Upenn, which is my dream school. I received 4 W’s , which I explained thoroughly in my essay regarding health issues, and housing( stated below).

I’m a 21 year old African American female from , North Philadelphia. I had to take a year off a of college because I have Sickle Cell anemia and was hospitalized from June 2010 through December 2010. I had a splenectomy, osteomyelitis, pneumonia, and autoimmune. I’m the first generation to attend college, although I only attend a CC. Despite all of this I still went back to to school, which most individuals with Sickle Cell don’t do. I’m very determined, and I am hoping one of these schools can see the good in me.

-My major is Chemistry.

-GPA- 3.83

-Extracurriculars- soccer, basketball, treasurer of The Community Service club, Student Govt senator, founder of the Transfer Club. Volunteering at the Children’s hospital, and interning for a DA in Montgomery County. I do private tutoring for college students. Raised money to send to Children in Africa who have Sickle cell, and Doctors without borders, Cystic Fibrosis, and Sickle Cell, and Cystic research. One award in soccer.

-Also, I’m gay. I was kicked out of my parents home in the Fall of 2011.

-solid recommendations.

-SAT’S (MATH 710) (READING 760) ( Writing 710)


minimal research experience, but I am doing an research over the summer at UPenn.
Job, I babysit 4 days a week.
I help one of my doctors around her office doing secretary work ( faxing case studies to insurance companies, answering phones, scheduling appointments, etc)


Does anyone think I may have a shot?

I also applied to Amherst, Boston College, Cornell, rice, Bucknell, and Georgetown.
