<p>Does anyone know if a higher percentage of CCer’s get into Penn, than the regular acceptance rate (judging from last years boards). I REALLY hope so, cause if wharton has a 20% admit rate this year…and for every 5 of us only 1 gets in…compared to the people on THIS board…gulp.</p>
<p>well, I think a lot of the weaker leech posters that come on CC just for the month of december doesn't post because they get rejected so that really screwes up the percentages. My guess is that those people who didn't post were rejected</p>
<p>also, please don't go by percentages alone. If you go over last year's ED thread (which you should), you would see that all the deferred and rejected wharton applicants were very strong- most stronger than college kids who were accepted in terms of scores, gpa and ECs</p>
<p>Figure the type of people who would be on this place, the kind that think that a four on an AP test is terrible, that an A- is going to get them rejected from every college. I would guess the acceptance rates for people on this place is higher because of the type of people this place attracts, not so much because they use this site to their advantage and gain knowledge or admissions secrets.</p>
<p>i disagree. yeah, we're mostly college freaks, which is about half of it, but i can't imagine what my app would have turned out like w/o CC. we edit essays, we answer Q's about the app....a lot of non-CC students out there may make tiny little mistakes that may hurt them, while we avoid the troubles, b/c everyone helps them out, and we can combine to get good, official information.</p>
<p>really....where else can you find equally enthusiastic 17 year olds, plus alums and even adcoms to guide you in a process that you have never engaged in?</p>
