<p>To CC’er:
Ouch!</p>

<p>To momo1012:
Bump the standarized test scores. You would want around the 2300 mark to be seriously considered. I am hoping you truly learned something about yourself going through the IB Programme. (And please do not tell me you learned things like “time management” and “working in a team” which is boring even to a three-year-old.) If you did learn something then your essays should very much be in line with Penn’s taste. With all that said, please do not be depressed should you be rejected. Good luck.</p>
