Chance Me-lousy legacy

<p>30 ACT/2000 SAT
3.9/4.0 weighted GPA, probably 3.5/4 at best unweighted
good ECs i guess
good recs
top 15%</p>

<p>dad attended Penn, but has given little money. Does this significantly help? Or less so b/c of lack of donations?</p>

<p>I know my chances are slim but I'm just curious.</p>

<p>probably have to go ED to have a chance</p>

<p>The kids I knew with your stats, even the legacies, were all rejected outright during ED.</p>

<p>That said, if you make your essays count...</p>
