My chances at UPenn

<p>I don’t know if I can get accepted because I am a high school senior with a 3.90 G.P.A, but my A.C.T scores are only a 26. My recommendations are good, my essay was good, my extra. were pretty good. I am a URM, but I want to know if I could get in to UPenn or get rejected only on my test scores.</p>

<p>ehh its hard to say. your gpa is good its just that act score… but its not impossible if your ECs and essays and whatnot were great. and a little luck never hurts.</p>

<p>i wouldnt mind a chance back :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your GPA is good and if you have great recs and great essays hopefully they will look over the ACT score. What is your class rank? How competitive is your high school? If these are both good they may be willing to overlook the test score</p>

<p>With that minimal of a resume it’s really hard to tell. Your GPA, is it weighted? UW? Your ACT score is pretty low, how was your SAT? It depends on many factors such as Teacher Rec’s and Essays.</p>

<p>I had to change high schools at the end of my 10th grade year. So, I went from a slightly easier high school to a highly competitive one. I am in the top 5% of my class. I focused on maintaining my GPA my junior over my test scores because I had to adjust to the new course work. I feel that if the college rejects me because I changed high schools and still maintained good grades then their stupid. I can go to the hardest school and be successful. eff my ACT scores.</p>

<p>Too low ACT… your EC and essay would have to be PHENOMENAL. You don’t give me enough info so it’s really hard to give you a “chance” rating. What you think of as good may not necessarily be good in college admission officer’s eyes.</p>

<p>Based on your ACT alone, I think you may be at a disadvantage. However, there are many other parts of your application to be considered and I hope you may elaborate on your accomplishments :D</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>Your ACT score is way too low for you to have any decent chance.</p>

<p>^Silverturtle is correct. What are you ECs?</p>
