Hello, I am a current junior wanting to apply for questbridge. My family income is <$25,000. My father passed away when i was 6 and since then, ive gained teh title " man of the house" having my first job to help my mom meet ends meet. Besides helping taking care of financial issues, I’ve provided my services to an international group in london where I helped dyslexic students to read and write. I’ve also helped other kids with coomunity projects,etc. Also, I’ve created a foundation for a medical center in Bangladesh with my aunt to help the less fortunate over the summer. I am the founder of a group called " Xcell" in Bangladesh which teaches unfortunate kids to use computers and help educate them. Being from a low income family, I work myself off just to help my family, not only that, but also others around me. My GPA stands at 3.8. Havent taken SATsd but plan on taking it in March. My only desire is to get into Penn. I know my GPA isnt great since I was basically helping my mother with financial issues, helping my sister pay for college and loans, and on top of that tutoring young neighborhood kids from age 5-12. Honestly, do I have a shot to be matched for Penn?


Thanks
