<p>You are SO academically qualified. Seriously. The scores are spread out well over all the sections and your ACT is great!
I just don’t know about ECs but if you write good essays I bet you’ll have a super strong shot!</p>

<p>pretty good</p>

<p>and we’re like the same person lol good luck</p>

<p>You’re a beast.
Good Luck and I love the ‘Chances Are’ song</p>

<p>thank you all!!!</p>

<p>who knows, you’re certainly qualified. What language are you going for? I’m pretty sure somewhere on the Huntsman site, they want you to have taken the SAT II in your target language (Penn has their own test for languages not offered on the SAT II).</p>

<p>There’s a point that after you cross it, there’s really no telling whether you’d get in or not. You certainly have great scores, so now I suppose it depends on those essays and that language SAT II.</p>

<p>4.0 unweighted? So you’re a straight A student? Being ranked 3rd out of 515 is no easy feat, but I have to question how demanding your school is. A Physics score of 730 would be seen as a point of weakness, as would your SAT score. </p>

<p>Again, 4.0 unweighted is always impressive, but your qualifications in total may only just barely get you into the conversation. I hope that you’ve stressed your strengths, because generically good students are a dime a dozen.</p>

<p>i totally forgot to say that I took the Chinese SAT II and scored 740! so if you guys could factor that in to my chances, that’d be great</p>

<p>pelikan: yes i’m a straight A student. I agree that my SAT isn’t the best. and my school isn’t that demanding but the top ten kids are really competitive.</p>
