For Penn ED you need to fix some things…FAST!

You HAVE to have brilliant essays, flawless teacher recs

Make your EC’s stand out- I saw some things that have potential but develop it!

BRING UP your GPA- we can’t assess anything without looking at unweighed, since that’s how all top schools generally matriculate it. Your weighted GPA looks quite low.

You have to bring up your SAT- it’s very low right now! Shoot for 2200+. The correlation between high SAT’s and admissions is not unnoticed and while one out of every four 2400’s is rejected from Harvard, the merits of a high SAT score are not to be discredited, especially when you already have such a low GPA without anything evident to justify it.

Do you go to a well known, academically rigorous high school? In light of your gpa,that could help. Also, what is your grading scale and how many letter grades below an A have you recieved and in what courses?
