<p>Show some passion in your extra curriculars and then you would probably have a really good shot. For example you have math team, science olympiad, italian club, model un, and newsweek editor. That is one math. science, language, history and writing activity. Also you have two sports but you didn’t spend 4 years on both. Try to descatter ylur ec’s and you would have a good shot at any school.</p>

3

<p>I think you’ll get in.</p>

4

<p>You definitely are in the running, but you might want to try and up the test scores. However, you are a minority with a GREAT GPA…</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

5

<p>Accepted, you lucky URM, you.</p>

<p>Remember dulce! Dude was URM and legacy. Deferred (I’m guessing legacy deferral) then rejected. URM doesn’t guarantee anything. Low income does make up for a lower SAT score and a lack of ECs. Good luck, but no one gets a free lunch.</p>

7

<p>^I don’t know about dulce, but the OP has great grades and class rank and a number of leadership positions. I honestly think he’s pretty much a shoo-in as long as he breaks 2100 on the June SAT, considering he’s low-income and URM.</p>

8

<p>No one is a shoe in. OP has a much better chance than I did and is probably in a much better position than most non recruited/non developmental applicants. However, there are no guarantees with a school like Penn :)</p>

<p>welcome to philly, homie</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How would they even see his income? unless he explicitly mentions it or implies it in an essay…</p>

11

<p>well we all know what kind of a person dulce is. it probably rubbed off on his essays, probably where no URM or legacy status could save them… on the other hand, skrugger you’re looking pretty solid.</p>
