<p>pennboy25, you should change your CC name to misinformedpennboy25… that is DEFINITELY not true, although they may rule people out based on SAT scores, it’s hard to say that someone without one of those things gets no read. Although a hook is important, just because you do not have one does not mean you will not get in… one of my best friends with absolutely no hooked got in last year</p>
<p>I think he means that unless you are hooked, if your scores and grades are very low your application will not be given a very thorough read, which I assume is true. I’m sure admissions officers spend more time looking at applications for students with 700+ SATs and good grades than they do looking at kids with 500-600 SATs and bad grades. I don’t necessarily think that they have a cut off or say “that kid is in the top 12 percent of his class, we won’t review him” or whatever… but of course more time will be spent considering applicants who have better chances of being admitted.</p>
<p>So like… what time on Dec. 11th are we going to be here freaking out?</p>
<p>Lol… you know you have little confidence when you’re already checking out the transfer page for Penn…</p>
<p>haha… yep… I’ve checked that page out, too.</p>
<p>We find out at 3 PM.</p>
<p>I bet for ED apps though they do read them through entirely…I mean for the RD round I assume maybe that might be teh case, but for ED we’re basically giving them our souls and confirming $200,000 so you’d think they read the ED pool more thoroughly</p>
<p>ah oh well =/ what ever happens happens I guess…</p>
<p>haha… I hope so… but that’s a grim way of putting it: by applying ED we are “giving them our souls and confirming $200,000”.</p>
<p>i found out today that i’ll be at a competition on dec 11, with a bunch of my friends and the teacher who wrote my recommendation…</p>
<p>it’s gonna be a really sucky weekend if i dont get in</p>
<p>wtan, is it the Siemens Westinghouse Competition!? Consering it is also on Dec.11…</p>
<p>haha i wish. it’s just a random math comp = /</p>
<p>Will you be able to get to a computer at 3? Or are you going to have to wait until after to check your decision?</p>
<p>I’ll start off that real countdown! :)…</p>
<p>10!!! <(o.o)></p>
<p>i’ll probably check it on my phone, hopefully when everyone else is looking away</p>
<p>Oh man… that’ll be a stressful day. My phone internet is not always that reliable so I’d probably be freaking out, ha. Good luck!</p>
<p>where is the “Official ED Decision Thread”?</p>
<p>I already filled my stats out, just waiting for the decision to come=[</p>
