[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior DD attends the governor’s school here in Virginia. She has a 3.8/3.9 uw / 4.2 w GPA with a 1390 SAT. She’s going to take the SAT again in August, but, for this question, assume she’s not able to increase. She will most likely be a.NMSF and attained a perfect math score on the PSAT. She is interested in pursuing engineering. Probably either electrical or mechanical at this point. We toured a ton of schools in Pennsylvania over break. She will apply to plenty of safety schools, but she really loved the vibe and campus at UPenn. Is it worth her taking an ED shot or is there absolutely no way that she will get in given her low SAT score? She will ED1 and we are able to full pay. She has played a varsity for all four years, another varsity sport for two years, has over 140 hours of volunteering, including volunteering with two organizations since sixth grade. She’s in several honor societies and has a part-time job amongst other ECs. She was just accepted into the engineering summer program at Virginia Tech. Would love to hear thoughts. Is it even worth her spending her time applying or should she focus on other less competitive schools. She really loved Pitt as well so a more realistic contender.[/quote]

UPenn is one that [b]does not have ED advantage[/b].  I would ED somewhere else like Chicago or Northwestern.

Use your ED + ED2 combination wisely!

Also, your DD needs to bump up her SAT score over 1500 line to be in the game.[/quote]
