Hey, where in canada are you from?
I’m also a canadian (albertan) and got accepted. Your stats look steller (and don’t give much concern to your 9 and 10 transcripts, they’re decent enough). As long as you’re willing to talk of your growth and how that makes an excellent match for Penn (most people forget this), you’re good to go.
Are you a full IB candidate (trust me, this makes a huge difference)? If so, emphasize that, and how you’re taking the most challenging courses offered to you. Your ethnicity will put you under the majority of applications but it’ll be your ECs and your essays that make you stick out.
