Hi. Thank you for taking the time to look at this. Penn has always been one of my dream schools and I would love to go there. Can someone please tell me my chances given the following information? Also can you tell me my chances for Johns Hopkins as well?Please be honest. Thank You!

I’m planning to apply ED for the College of Arts and Sciences for Penn.
Freshman & Sophomore Year: took all honors
Junior Year - all honors and AP English and AP World
Senior Year - all AP - AP Spanish, AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Eng, AP Calc BC, and Journalism

My Grades: Mostly A’s, few B’s
Weighted GPA: 4.4 (out of 4.8)
Unweighted GPA: 3.7
Class Rank: not sure but in the top

SAT scores: 2000 (I plan to take it again and score much higher)
Subject Tests: 680 in Chem, 700 in Math Level I, 690 in Math Level II

Leadership Positions:
Sophomore: Foreign Alliance Club VP
Junior Year: FBLA Treasurer
Senior: Science National Honor Society Secretary, Kick-Off Mentor Team Leader

in FBLA - won 3rd place two times - was selected to go to Nationals
also partnered and worked with a real business in need

Sports: Field Hockey, Tennis, Bowling (went to regionals for it)
Clubs: NHS, Aids Awareness Club, Artistic Design Club, Cooking Club, Science NHS, Math NHS, Spanish Honor Society, Rho Kappa, Spanish Club

worked a job as a swim coach and a lot of volunteer hours

Awards: National Spanish Exam silver and honors medal, World Language Tournament 1st place winner, not sure if this counts but in 6th grade I got a Presidential Education Award, 1st place in Guitar Improvisation Contest, honor roll all 4 years

another thing that I think makes me unique is that I’m first generation of my family - both of my parents were born in a different country and I speak fluently in that language and have attended school for it - I take pride in my heritage and go to many parades and have received many awards.

Thank You!
