<p>I’ve heard that having a upward trend in grades is viewed more favorably than just straight A’s throughout and your SAT scores are also great so that may take some weight off freshman year. The ECs are good but sorta standard for Columbia and Penn. Maybe you could focus more on a specific passion? Depth not breadth has been said who knows how many times on this forum. Best of luck to you! </p>
