<p>Penn isn’t an “easy acceptance” for anyone lol. My friend who is valedictorian and got into harvard and brown got turned down by Penn. And it will only be even more competitive next year.</p>
<p>For Penn, legacy only helps if you apply ED… it doesn’t matter if you apply regular. So its totally possible that the legacy may provide the extra push to get into Upenn, and that you may not get in regular without that benefit. Do you love Penn enough to apply ED?</p>
<p>Since you have a lot of schools on your list… I would advise dont apply ED to penn because you may end up finding a better fit at one of those other schools. But if you really love Penn and would go there even if accepted to all the other schools on your list, then definitely apply ED to Penn.</p>
