Hey guys, what do you think my chances of getting into UPenn are? Am I good enough, too darn average, or not even qualified? Well, here are my stats.
Asian female
in South

SAT I:1410 V-710 M-700 will retake in Nov. I'm expecting +1500 b/c I've consistently been getting that when I took the practice tests in the 10 Real.
SAT II: Chem-710 Math IC-720 will take IIC in Oct. Writing-630 retake in Oct. Bio-will take in Oct. but practice tests I've been taking show +700

GPA: 4.025 I think
Rank: Top 10%
APs: Chem 3, World History 5, US History 4, Physics C (taking now), Lit (taking now), Macroecon (taking now), Microecon (taking now), Calc AB (taking now), Bio (taking now)
9 APs total with 6 taking now

So total credits I will have:
8 Science
5 Math
5 English
3 History
4 Language (although it'll probably be counted as 3 b/c I took 1 year of Latin and 3 years of Spanish)
And the exploratory courses but who cares about those..

Clubs:
Mu Alpha Theta (11,12)
Interact (10,11,12)
Beta (10,11,12)

Senior class secretary (12)
SGA (10,11)

Biology Club (12)
Class cabinet (10,11,12)

Sports:
Varsity Golf (11,12) went to Regionals
JV Volleyball manager (11)

Others:
Sheltering Arms, volunteered @ elderly community, local library, P2P, NYLF med, Science camp counselor, chem tutor (and I hold classes for AP Chem students in the mornings), math tutor, AIDS Walk, Relay For Life, Tae Kwon Do, Stars Rising Award, this science program thing where I took classes from professionals at a museum, and alot of the other crappy awards like Who's Who and National something something, stuff like that.

So, I'd really like to go into the bioengineering field. What do you think my chances are of getting accepted in Penn? Please, be brutal cause I know I'm pretty average..

And I'm also considering
Harvard
MIT
Duke
Cornell
Caltech
