<p>Thanks !</p>
<p>I also wanted to ask if it would hurt me if other kids from my school have legacy (parental). there are two other kids applying, who have similar stats to me, that have parental legacy. do they always compare kids within the school? I am just as qualified as the other individuals with parental legacy, but I'm just worried they'll just take the legacies and put a cap on the number of kids they take from my school. I know there is no technical cap, but for some reason I feel they never take more than 4ish kids from my school.</p>
<p>also my school doesn't do rankings. 95.43 is a good GPA, but there are other kids applying with 96-97. In your opinion, does that small difference matter?</p>
<p>i recently found out one of the kids with parental legacy also may be applying to wharton... would they compare kids applying to different colleges within penn??</p>
