A Word of Advice to Everyone Applying RD

<p>who on CC is an expert?? The first two pieces of advice I put down were jokes. The rest of it is just a list of stuff people should read before writing a new thread to ask a question that has already been asked dozens of times before.</p>

<p>Why do you come on here anyways?</p>

<p>joke or no joke, no one should kill themselves. Some things aren't funny and should not be thrown around so carelessly.</p>

<p>why would anyone bother lying to a bunch of strangers about getting into a school? honestly, dulce, you must have something better to do with your time. maybe a friend or two, something close to a life?</p>

<p>Dulce has a disgusting personality. Penn is amazing for rejecting him. And dulce, jyankees got accepted. i know that for a fact.</p>

<p>considering that most of the advice given here is applicable to just about any institution (excepting the penn-specific things like the professor question), there is no need to insult the posters who added to the list of tips.</p>

<p>why insult a genuine effort to provide basic information to those who come here in search of assistance, augmented with a reasonable amount of levity?</p>

<p>LET ME REPEAT..PENN DEFERRED ME. I was not rejected!
MY PARENTS WANT TO DONATE A BUILDING SO I CAN GET ACCEPTED IN APRIL. But, I keep telling them not to since I want to go to Umich now.</p>

<p>If it makes you feel better that they deferred you instead of rejecting you as a courtesy because you are a legacy, let it. Either way, they just didn't want you.</p>

<p>god why do we pay attention to dulce...i mean honestly we got into penn heshe did not why bother our selves....is there an ignore button on cc?</p>

<p>Oh gosh. I wrote "Upenn" on my application... to Brown. ^<em>^ Now I have to revise my why penn essay -</em>- But anyway, great tips!</p>

<p>on your app to brown?</p>

<p>Nope. They deferred two legacies I know of in previous years and both got in RD. The legacy office told my parents that plenty of legacies get rejected ED!</p>

<p>Well, aren't you special.</p>

<p>I think dulce is a troll. His parents want to donate a bldg to Penn??? sounds a bit...you know
Dulce: Why didn't you parents donate that bldg before you applied ED. Then you wouldve gotten in and saved us all the trauma.<br>
Sure to say, you are annoying as hell. I am kinda glad that the people in Wharton (and Penn) won't have a classmate like you. Umich made a mistake and now they will have to deal with it for the next four years.</p>

<p>He's definitely very special...to even imply otherwise is blasphemy. The Gods will strike down anybody who is against dulce, including the Penn Admissions Committee.</p>

<p>Luckily for the RD applicants, the Gods have decided to wait until April for the smiting.</p>

<p>^ Yeah, I was writing about an imaginary penn-brown football game.</p>

<p>Question to accepted students: How long were your "Why Penn?" essays? Mine is 374 words, but it looks so pitifully small on the paper. ^_^</p>

<p>mine was like 520 words</p>

<p>Ahhh my Why Penn essay was so long... 789 words. But it's also probably the best college essay I wrote, so we'll see.</p>

<p>750 ishhhhh</p>

<p>^ How did you guys keep your essays under one page?</p>

<p>I think mine was 650+ words and that was in 11 pt. font.</p>
