<p>haha okay, I realize this has it’s own thread, and I’ve used it, but I need some input with those who were already accepted into UPENN. And yes… I also realize that no one can predict actual chances, but I’d still like some input on how I’m doing. Thanks! </p>

<p>General:
Asian Female
Location: Kansas
School: Very Rural, ehh…its decent</p>

<p>The Transcript:
Current Valedictorian
GPA: W: 4.571 U.W: 4.000
Straight A’s.
Taking 7 AP classes all together (school doesn’t offer many)</p>

<p>The Standardized Test Scores:
I’m only planning on taking the ACT, and the first time I took it I got a 28. I’m pretty sure this will go up ATLEAST to a 30, because I’m doing this preparation class this fall. So let’s say my ‘projected’ is the minimum of what I want… a 30. (this will kill me I know)</p>

<p>The Extra Curriculars:
Alright if your stuck in the middle of nowhere, it’s kinda hard to find extra curriculars, so bear with me.

  1. Concert Mistress for school Orchestra (since 10th grade)
  2. National Science Achievement Academy–(only given to 2 students out 75)
  3. Topeka Youth Symphony Orchestra (since 6th grade)

  5. Created a Project Sucess: I went to Hyderabad India and located this blind school, and I’ve been raising money here to sponser a child back there. My goal is to raise atleast 500 dollars if not more. So far, I’m half way there.
  6. National Honors Society-- tutor
  7. Teaching students the violin ( I have 6 students)
  8. Student of the Month 5 times (only given to students that have made a difference)

  14. Interning with a neurologist

  16. National Orchestra Festival (ASTA): only 17 orchestra’s in the whole united states get to perform infront of people. </p>

<p>Essay’s and teacher recs will be great. </p>

<p>Any thoughts? I realize my standardized testing kinda low, but if I improve that to above a 30, (which is what I’m hoping) do I still have a chance at UPenn? Thanks in advance.</p>
