Incredibly helpful! I’m a junior in Bolivia looking to apply to some of these ivies. Currently taking notes off these videos, I definitely don’t want to end up in a college that is too woke or that has a cold, way too competitive community. Thanks a lot for the info.!
Do you recommend applicants not submitting a test? UPenn is test optional and claims it doesn’t put the applicants at a disadvantage in the admission process.
A strong showing on a standardized test assures top schools that you can handle the courseload. If you only have a very weak SAT/ACT, it might be best to keep that to yourself and simply hope that the rest of your transcript carries you through, but you have just made getting in that much harder.
But if you come from a low-performing school, or a low-performing district, then your less-than-stellar score might actually make you look pretty good relative to your peers, in which case you should submit it.
@@IvyAdmissionHelpI also wanted to add to this question. In my case, my score was in the 1300s and my district avg is 869 while my school avg is 891. Would you recommend submitting this score?

PENN has tons of acapella groups, improv group, etc. But they also have practical clubs too.
