<p>Most of the schools you are interested in would be reaches. But if you REALLY want to go to UPenn, the best thing to do would be to show interest. That will make you stand out even more. Also, since you SATs are relatively low, why don’t you try the ACT? That’s what I did, and it turned out that I was much better at the style of test that the ACT is. Last but not least, don’t be deterred from applying to reach schools. There are so many other qualified applicants out there that the selection really becomes random.
