2

<p>in for sure</p>

3

<p>Wow that's a verryyyy impressive resume... ISEF/Great athlete/all those jobs. That's crazy.</p>

4

<p>this is too funny... were actually the same person
hahhhahahhahaha i applied ed to penn as well, lsa for history
my school doesn't rank as well, only does 10%
same sat score, same act score
and we even have some of the same extra curriculars (science research, track, camp counselor)!</p>

5

<p>thank you guys! anyone else? i feel like i have a decent package, but like nothing is ever enough. and the fact that i'm not a valedictorian scares me, because i've heard they only accept 40% of their valedictorians!</p>

<p>and that's cool about us being the same person- hopefully we'll both get in and become friends!</p>

<p>ahhh so yeah. anyone else PLEASE?</p>

<p>thank you, i love you all.</p>

6

<p>i think u have a great chance. good luck to us all! :)</p>

7

<p>Send in your ACTs only. Otherwise, fantastic chance.</p>

8

<p>I already sent in my SAT and ACT, because my SAT came out before I knew how well I did on the ACT.</p>

<p>And thanks, does anyone know what the impact of an interview is/ when decisions actually come out? Anyone else wanna chance me (please!)? Danke shon!</p>

9

<p>you're so qualified I'm kind of scared now lolz....:)</p>

10

<p>aww thank you haha, good luck to everyone!</p>

11

<p>Wait, now I'm starting to freak again. Will it matter that I didn't take physics at all? They don't offer AP physics in my school.</p>

12

<p>If your school doesn't offer the AP class, the college won't hold it against you that you didn't take it. I wouldn't worry, you have quite an impressive list of EC's/work.</p>

13

<p>just wanted to update everyone, i got straight out rejected. thanks to everyone who chanced me!</p>

14

<p>I don't know how that's possible unless your interview/essays/teacher rec's were just terrible.</p>

15

<p>interview was amazing, recs both made me cry they were so good.</p>

<p>i've no idea how either, but it is what it is. que sera sera.</p>
