Someone else who also wants to apply ED to PennCAS! Nice! I hope we both make it. But as for chancing you. Solid test scores, decent grades (good enough). I think your biggest weakness is your extracurriculars, which seem to lack a focus (what are you editor-in-chief of?), your summer activities and volunteer and job experience is okay. Also just out of curiousity, how did you already do your interview??? The application isn’t even out yet and they don’t contact applicants to schedule interviews until after they have submitted the application. As for your chances, I’ll put you a little bit under the average acceptance rate — 20-25% Please chance me back! http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1796275-what-do-you-think-of-my-chances-are-at-these-universities.html#latest Good luck, and I hope we’ll see each other there one day.
