Chance at UPenn with 2300 SAT?

Colleges & Universities University of Pennsylvania

<p>I want to go to law school after undergraduate school, and I’m trying to put myself in the best position to do that. I think UPenn would be a good start! Here are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT:
2300 (CR: 780, M: 750, W: 770)
1530/1600</p>

<p>Subject tests:
Math II: 750
World History: 760
US History: 790
Chemistry: 800</p>

<p>GPA:
4.0 UW</p>

<p>AP Classes:
4 so far (all 5’s)
Taking 6 senior year</p>

<p>Mediocre extracurricular activities…some pretty neat research internships for the past 2 summers, coaching soccer for the past 4 summers, and varsity soccer for 4 years in high school.</p>

<p>I’m trying to put myself into position to go to the best possible law school I can. That, however, doesn’t necessarily mean pre-law for me. Maybe economics or philosophy, something like that.</p>

<p>Thanks, and any information helps a lot!</p>

<p>I think you have as good a shot as any. What ECs did you do exactly? And how many hours of community service have you done? These things will be important when applying.
Then write some killer essays, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

<p>Yeah, I didn’t have the best extracurriculars…not too many volunteer hours. Although, I am involved in a volunteer organization in which I have a leadership role.</p>

<p>It is always worth a try. Submit your US History and Chem subject tests (def not the Math II; 750 would be a great score on some tests, but not that one). Is there anywhere you have really made your mark? What do you do with your free time??</p>
