<p>I hate to discount your other qualities, but I’m going to give you a very high chance of acceptance because of your minority status. Your SATS are staggeringly high for a black applicant. 
Actually, your SATs are very high for ALL applicants. So, if what you say is true, I’m going to bet you will be admitted.</p>
<p>You also obviously have a LOT going for you, including strong leadership in extracurriculars that is unique. Good luck.</p>
<p>biomajor5, i know that you are well-intentioned but I was slightly offended by your comment, “if what you say is true …” as that implies that you find it unbelievable that a black candidate could score that highly. I for one scored a 1480 (CR+M), it is not as unusual as you may think and one should not assume blacks are inherently incapable of achieving such scores.</p>
<p>Kafkareborn - I did not mean to offend at all. In fact, I am apologetic that I did offend you. I did not make any assumptions, nor do I think blacks are incapable of achieving anything. You will note that I added that his/her SATs are high for all applicants. I believe everything this applicant put forth and I believe he/she is a good candidate for Penn. In fact, a great candidate.</p>
<p>i’m gonna stay away from race here and just say that you have a great chance because your scores are good. if you explain your situation with being sick and stuff, i think that will be understandable. also your “work” section looks impressive. good luck!</p>
<p>kafkareborn, in biomajor’s defense, since everyone on here is posting anonymously, bio’s comment “if what you say is true” can and should be applied to every single post on this board in any forum. I did not see anything offensive in the intention.</p>
<p>rastafarian: I think it depends where your grades are for your Junior and mid-senior years (do NOT let them drop!!!). If they’re mostly A’s, no C’s and don’t drop at mid-year, you have a good shot. You never know with these Ivy’s.</p>
<p>biomajor5: They publish SAT scores by RACE???</p>
<p>^The college board publishes an inordinate amount of data. See table 8 of the attached link.
The mean score for African Americans on the SAT is a 1276, with a standard deviation of 165
The mean score for Whites is a 1581, and for Asians it is a 1623. (both of which are approximately 2 standard deviations above the mean African American score)</p>
<p>Adding to what mrscollege said, there have been instances in the past (aka pandaman) where people have blatantly lied about their stats, although in retrospect the comment was unwise.</p>

<p>If you’re actually half asian / half black, you’ve got it hands down</p>
