Hi there @shreyansh,
This is a bit of a chance-me question, in which case our simulator is your best bet, but I can answer to the best of my ability below.
It does appear that you have strong extracurriculars, but depending on your GPA and how it converts relative to your peers, you might not clear the academic threshold for UPenn. That being said, not all hope is lost - college admissions is usually holistic and predictions require a more in-depth look at your profile.
I would definitely check out our chancing engine for a better idea of your chances, or submit your profile to one of our Profile Review Livestreams so that one of our experts can review your profile more in-depth.
Hope this helps!
