Penn has been my dream school since Freshmen year. I love this podcast with such useful information!
It was most helpful interview ever. Please add more other university’s admission officials.
this was extremely helpful and insightful! currently working on my application, wishing the best :)
Hello, how was it? Did you get into UPenn?
This video is super helpful thank you!
To be honest, I'm currently applying as a transfer student to Upenn. It has been my dream school since sophomore year of high school. I love Penn, not only for its academics, name, but more because I love the energy, love the campus, and I guess it's just a passion. It's my dream school, and although they rejected me once, I'm applying again, and hoping I can get in. I hope for everyone who sees this message can get into their dream school too!
What's the results?
Update?
Wow. Looking forward for the Brown one.
Thank you so much for this content! After watching this video, I was totally fall in love with UPenn bc I feel this so fits me and I was so excited to apply to UPenn. Hope that I can be a student in UPenn~ It will be very great to have my youth in this amazing school
How did it go?

@@hoavietvu same bro, which department are you applying to?
Incredibly beneficial
Hello everyone! I just wanted to say good luck to everyone who is or will be applying to Penn! It’s application season and I know things are extremely tough both mentally and physically exhausting. The string of doubts, yet pulled with anticipation, weighs upon our mindsets. I know that a lot of us are looking at videos on “how I got into Penn” or Reddit’s “Chance me’s” and thinking perhaps we are not as “competitive” as we think (I’m also one of them 🙋♀️). Ignore all of that (I know it’s hard) and just try your best! Take your shot! Whatever schools you get into, it’s meant to be! ❤
Amé ésta entrevista, te llena de confianza para saltar a la oportunidad de ser tú mismo mientras estudias!

🎉🎉🎉
congrats omg!! manifesting wharton 2026 for me too
Thanks a lot for this I really do hope I get an admission to Upenn😅
I am a good fit for penn in terms of personality and extra curriculars. My test scores are around the average. However, my gpa is below the average. I have a good uptrend and in the junior year i have my highest gpa with 4 aps and couple honors. How can i improve?
I really hope to get into this school.
Did you?
UPenn is my dream school and I really hope I’ll be able to go there as class of 2027! So scared for that tho 🙁

Guys I’m a sophomore I’m not that you g
@@serrayetkin5106 upenn '27 is sophomore in high school
u r tiny bro
there is something slightly off with what she said about the bc class. Taking AP stats in junior instead of Calculus BC seems like a better idea if you were going to major in business(marketing, stock, trading etc) stats is definitely going to provide more skills than derivatives and geometric series 😅. So while i get that taking the highest math possible at your school is important and impressive, I think it would be BETTER for a student to cover AP stats over AP Calculus if they’re looking to major into fields that involve statistical work such as finance and marking and data management etc.
super helpful for me at one day before the ddl of ED
ahahaha saaame!

i want to go to Wharton but i couldn’t even take ap calc because it wasn’t offered during my free period, so i had to take ap stat 💔
While the tips given here are helpful, the biggest component is luck. 60-70% of the applicants to a school like Penn are 3.8-4.0 students, have taken a challenging curriculum, have good test scores (over 1450 on the SAT and/or over a 32 on the ACT), good ECs and good essays. Of those, only 10-15% are getting in. 30 years ago, when I applied i college, the acceptance rate for students with such credentials was well over 40%. The applicant pools has just mushroomed over the years, but elite universities, despite having ample resources to meet the increase in demand, have vainly decided to artificially limit the number of acceptances purely for the sake of exclusivity. It is a sad state of affairs.
I am trying to get into the Wharton school of business. Should I take AP Calc AB or Ap Stats senior year?
Calc
Calculus, but you can always double if your school allows it!
a lot of students take both to make their applications more competitive. you usually have an extra elective spot open senior year due to having finished your required electives like foreign language, health, speech, and your physical education credit in years prior so a lot of students choose to take another AP
I really want to go to upenn, but my extracurriculars are basically nonexistent. I have the academics and I feel confident in my essays, but Im not sure if my gap in extracurriculars will be the end
For you and others - do not be concerned with ECs. Not an admissions officer but strong connections to Penn. Unapologetically, briefly explain the absence & emphasize your other strengths, goals & philosophy in a non affected, sincere way. You’ll be fine. If you don’t get accepted blow it off and carry on. Good luck. ♥️
I got deferred but still no bad news is good news
It’s the School of Arts and Sciences which has TWO undergraduate degree programs, not one. SAS is home to the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the College of Liberal and Professional Studies. There’s no reason to leave LPS out.
LPS is for mature students who for some reason did not go to college straight after high school. The degree is offered part-time to enable students to work while doing their degree It's a different sort of program.
@@adeafningsilence what does age have to do with anything? An an undergrad degree is an undergrad degree. I am still charged a meal plan and can get on campus housing. I am still listed as an undergraduate. Taking time away from school is irrelevant. This video isn’t labeled “traditional non mature admissions,” is it?
22 students applied from our high school last year. Their GPA's ranged from 3.5 to about 4.5, with nearly all of them over 4.0. 90% of the applicants were over 30 ACT. 100% of them were denied by admissions.
Because it's not all about academics. Alot thousands of students every year have 4.0 gpa's
Academics are a primary but admission officers are looking for an image of how you are on a core level, you should entail
tbh they really are rejecting almost everybody🤣
I have a question if you got in school suspension in your freshman year of highschool for like 2 or 3 days can you still have a chance of getting in upenn or any college?
i mean you have a chance, but it'll be harder
Of course you still have a chance to get into college. For more competitive schools like Penn, in my opinion, I think you really need to expand on what you learned from the situation. Frame it in the best possible light
Ryan Ziaee huh?
Ashley wait I have to explain to them what happened
Ryan Ziaee no this is for myself.
lots of useless questions lol
