<p>I go to a really small private girls school. Yeah… only 10 girls in my grade didnt apply early somewhere. The list goes on. Theres been accpetances to northwestern, wesleyan, vassar, vanderbilt, pomona, duke…etc its just irritating because everyone is brilliant
Sent from my SGH-T959 using CC App</p>
<p>whoa jseo! that’s amazing! only this year has my school put putting out prestigious acceptances.</p>
<p>batfan: I agree, I’m getting even more paranoid. I’m gunna be goshdarn ticked if I don’t get in. haha…</p>
<p>What do you think are your biggest weaknesses on your application?</p>
<p>For me, its my SAT subject II scores (540 spanish, 690 math ii, and 640 chem), one of my teacher reccs(one paragraph long, superficial, written by a young teacher who knew me well but didn’t have any experience writing reccs but he was the only science teacher I could do(the other I had for 2 years moved)). oh and I’m asian looking to go pre-med (i hope that what I’ve read on CC about race isn’t all true!)</p>
<p>sigh I relate.
I’m stressing over things I can’t change, and going on CC destroys the meager bits of self-esteem I have, yet I can’t close the tab!</p>
<p>I’m just waiting to get rejected by my 10 reach schools on 3/29. :(</p>
<p>@BigGreen2016 You sound like me. That is exactly what I say (although it’s 5 reach schools not 10… wow!) My classmates always say I will get in but that’s just them being nice =(</p>
<p>@LoveEssence don’t you hate that. “Oh, you’re so smart you will get into Penn for sure! :)” Well of course you are going to say that you’re my friend!! haha. I hate when people say that, but then again, if they didn’t I would probably feel offended. I just can’t win either way. The worst though, is when they ask you once a week if you heard back yet even though every time they ask you tell them “not until March 29.”</p>
<p>^ ditto that! So far everyone said that I’d get into Penn but like the majority of them think I’m referring to Penn State! one said that Penn isn’t a real ivy and that I will get in(LOL what does that supposed to mean?)</p>
<p>Only 14 more days guys!! we’re almost there! 
I think I’ve been asked whether UPenn is a state school the most haha</p>
<p>wow there are still noobs out there that don’t know the difference b/w PENN & Penn State, the institution that protected a pedophile</p>
<p>What are y’all majoring in and studying to be? I’m majoring in biology… looking to go on the pre-med track… I want to end up being a radiologist! =D</p>
<p>I just want to let everyone know that this stress and anxiety is normal! When I waited for the ED results this past December 9, 2011, my heart was beating at least 30% faster the whole day. I barely ate. I couldn’t focus in my classes. I guarantee you I know the feeling!</p>
<p>Just remember----if your computer crashes when you try to log-in to see the results at 5:00:00 PM EST, don’t worry! Mine did, and from 5:00-5:05 PM EST, I was in the dark on my results (and I’m on a Mac, too)! Scariest 5 minutes of my life. It will all work out!</p>
<p>Best of luck to you all, and I hope you join the University of Pennsylvania’s Class of 2016! :)</p>
<p>Thanks hardworking21! luckily for me, its during spring break… so i have the day after to recuperate without missing school.</p>
<p>@neorobie I planned to major in chemistry, but I now want to change that to Biochem and then go to grad school for Pharmacy. I could have applied for a 6 year PharmD program but I wanted to have the undergrad degree as a backup just in case. With a PharmD you can only be a pharmacist but a degree in biochem at least gives you some options. </p>
<p>@hardworking21 I’g guessing you got in ED? Congrats!!! I really hope I’ll be joining you next year as part of the Penn Class of 2016</p>
<p>@neorobie: I want to major in biology and study veterinary medicine! I guess the only hope for me is that even if I get denied or wait listed from Penn for undergrad, I know I’ll be there in 4 more years for Vet School!!</p>
<p>LoveEssence…
I breathe a sigh of relief whenever I find CC-ers I can relate to. Those at my school think I’m crazy.</p>
<p>neorobie…
Me too! I work, so I scheduled to work full-time as a distraction.</p>
<p>@XcTrackRunner7: Yup, got in ED to the Vagelos Life Science & Management Dual-Degree Program, Class of 2016!</p>
<p>hardworking21,
Congrats!!! :)</p>
<p>@hardworking21, I applied for LSM too! Congrats!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! Best of luck to you—and batfan, I hope you join me in LSM :)</p>
<p>Every time I get on CC and check the threads for my top 3 picks (Penn, Harvard, Duke) I start getting butterflies in my stomach and a few nights ago I dreamt it was the 29th and that I was opening all the decisions emails. I hope the actual decisions are nothing like in my dream…</p>
