Ivy League schools can’t give out scholarships but you will get certain grants at different levels of income

[@lasibel]

if my school offers 6 ap classes and I only take 2 but I take 7 dual enrollment classes at my local community college, is that okay?

[@tobindax4455]

^ pretty much same for me

[@mvdeleine9352]

So I calculated my academic index and it was weak but on the cusp of below average, however the major I'm applying for is not nearly as well known and Penn is trying to recruit more people for it, do you think they would still throw out my application?

[@CollegeVine]

Hi Erika, we are not admissions officers, therefore, we cannot make that decision, but if you're interested in learning more about your application "story" or theme, we recommend checking out our other video about admissions themes: th-cam.com/video/NzQIWuflbE0/w-d-xo.html or visiting our blog for more information.

You have a good shot-depends on your essays as well.

If I'm applying to the Huntsman Program, which undergraduate school essay prompt will I be responding to? Wharton or Arts and Sciences?

[@CollegeVine]

Hi Ray, according to UPenn's website, you'll need to write an essay on one of the Penn-specific prompts, as well as an essay specifically for the Huntsman program. You can read more here: admissions.upenn.edu/admissions-and-financial-aid/what-penn-looks-for/essays

[@gaurangagarwal1193]

i am studying in the IB curriculum can you please tell on what basis will the academics will be judges

[@CollegeVine]

If you're applying internationally then you'd most likely be considered against students from your home country. The IB curriculum would help though, because it'll likely be seen as more rigorous and it'll be more familiar to admissions officers.

[@basmashi_]

I graduated last year from high school and i took baccalaureate diploma am I eligible to apply?
I didn't take SAT

[@CollegeVine]

UPenn is test-optional so you should be able to apply without an SAT

[@ArunYadav-vi4mi]

Is Nepali students got admission in Pennsylvania university

[@skinach]

Probably

[@v.y.3282]

So if my GPA is low, even if I have impressive extracurriculars and essays, they won't even look at them? I currently have a 3.5 GPA:(

[@myaimoasis]
