it’s not about what you don’t have; it’s about what you have. don’t worry about it. everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. why do you think all the top schools turn down so many perfect scorers? what fun would it be if all of the freshman class at penn had perfect SAT scores and were all national merit scholars?
your ACT is the penn average. (i’m assuming it’s low for CC though, not for penn)
