<p>jerseykid55, I’ll chance you. I think you look great and have a very strong chance of getting into Penn. If you were applying for CAS and your essays were good, I’d say you have a 50 to 60% chance. </p>

<p>The only suggestion I have is to retake the SAT and pull up your CR score. I’ve read many times that schools like Penn look hard at your math and CR scores. For you, those two scores are a 1490/1600. That’s good but if you could get the CR up 40 to 50 points, then I think you’d be in for sure. </p>

<p>Other than that one suggestion, I think you’ve done a great job. If you get the CR score up to the mid 700s, you might want to apply to the joint Penn/Wharton programs like Huntsman or Life Sciences. Your app is that strong.</p>

<p>I hope you make it. Good luck.</p>

<p>^Thanks Hope Full, I know I need to up my SAT CR score to at least a 730. I think I’m just interested in CAS because Huntsman is more business oriented I think.</p>

<p>pm me if you want me to chance</p>

<p>Where did you take your classes? This is not related to chancing you btw, but a lot of your courses seem really interesting and oddly specific for a highschool student. Also, ap multivariable calc? Didn’t know of the existence of such an ap course</p>

<p>well i go to a superscience high school that specializes in medical/science/business very early. i happen to be in the medical program and on top of that, we have a bunch of high level math courses available</p>

<p>A 690 CR is just fine.</p>
