Should I speed up or stay at the same pace if I want to get into U.Penn ?

<p>So I am no genius but I don’t have to spent a lot of effort studying anything beside Foreign Language and science classes(not stem). I am soon to be a sophmore and current taking both Pre-IB classes and AP classes. My eight grade GPA is at 3.8/4 and 4.6/5 (I don’t know my 9th grade GPA yet).</p>

<p>My 9th grade schedule</p>

<p>-Pre-IB English: A
-Pre-IB Spanish: A
-Pre-IB Honor Alg 2: A
-Pre-IB Biology: B
-AP Human Geo: A

  • Art: A
    -Aviation( required math+science teacher recommendations. Can get airplane license if finished second class, probably will take in 11th grade): A</p>

<p>SAT( Took in 7th grade as part of Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and Duke TIP): Math 600, Reading 490, Writing 400.</p>
