I am planning on applying to the school of arts and sciences. my mother attended the engineering school at penn.

SAT: 2140 (740 CR 740 WR 660 M)
SAT2: 700 (US Hist.)
I still need to take another. I am retaking US and also am taking Math 1. But I know I should take Math 2, I just don’t know if I can, which is why I’m considering using my ACTs and taking them again.

31 (32 E 28M 31R 31SC)
31 (33 E 31M 34R 25SC)

GPA: 3.86

I know my scores aren’t great but I have extracurriculars and I’m hoping the legacy will help me. My school district is public but very competitive.
