<p>academics look pretty good but because Penn probably isn’t familiar with your school, and therefore doesn’t know how challenging even the “most challenging corse load” is, you’re going need to have some really fantastic essays</p>

<p>should i contact my regional rep to see if he/she is familiar with my school and ask if i can provide any info? my gc sends a school profile and curriculum, shouldn’t that be enough?</p>

<p>that should do it</p>

<p>it also depends if you are from an area which a lot of people apply from, geographic diversity is important to Penn.</p>
