<p>I’m a high school senior waiting for the last decisions coming tomorrow. I got rejected from WUSTL, Grinnell C, and probably Notre Dame, UPenn, Harvard (coming tomorrow).

<p>I know that my stat is too low to get into these schools above (that’s why I got rejected). So can anyone tell me what can I have to prepare (what classes should I take,… ) to increase my chance of getting accepted at UPenn next year? Thank you for your advice.</p>
