<p>Is there anything in specific that Penn really looks for on the app more so than other things? For example, I've heard that Penn is extremely big on class rank where as Harvard places a larger emphasis on test scores. </p>
<p>rather than listen to rumors, why don’t you mine Penn’s website and see how you can align yourself to what they look for? Trawling around looking for the “formula” to a selective school admission is a fool’s errand.</p>
<p>@T26E4 probably good advice</p>
