@widesfeuer Rarely say this but I would be quite surprised if you didn’t get in ED, if not VIPER or MLS, then def CAS/SEAS (whichever is your second choice). At the worst case scenario you could maybe get rejected from MLS or VIPER since they are extra selective but I bet you will get into CAS/SEAS.

You tick all the boxes, plus a box that a small group of Penn applicants tick .i.e. you have a parent who is faculty. Having a parent faculty sure is a hook.

All that said, you never know when it comes to schools like Penn.
