There’s really no point doing a chance-me two days before results are out. Chance-mes are best used when preparing a shortlist of colleges to apply to. None of us here are UPenn AOs so anything we say will either stress you or provide false hope.

You’re a competitive candidate. So just hang in there and you’ll have your answer on Thursday evening.

Good luck.
