High school junior here, starting to finalize my list to visit/apply to schools next year, and Penn will be my ultimate reach school mainly because of the Huntsman program. It’s pretty much my dream program at my dream school.

My question is whether this could give me an edge in getting accepted: I grew up as an American expat and lived for a decade in another country starting at age 3. While there, my family was fortunate enough to have the chance to visit multiple countries in Southeast Asia. Since the Huntsman program is international business, will this give me a slight advantage?

The rest of my application is pretty average/weak for Penn, especially my ECs as my school is so small it doesn’t offer much of anything in the ways of clubs and APs
