@BigflowerSusie Really good post, you’re exactly right speaking of resumes!! You definitely have to be unique, like you said.
However, I want to apply Penn (Wharton) ED this upcoming year. My stats aren’t perfect (3.8 UW, top 5-6% of class, 34 ACT) but I feel like I’m the exact opposite of what you said - decent stats, but really good, unique ECs that aren’t lame fluff or BS volunteering. Do you think Penn ED is still do-able for someone like me? What are your thoughts?
