<p>I am applying ED to Penn but i have NO idea what my chances are. I go to a boarding school in CT that doesnt have GPA (but my grades are good) i got a 2000 on my SATs, and my close relative used to be on the board and has given several million dollars to Penn. at my school i'm the president of the debate society, director of the winter choral production, a senior retreat leader, and a member of the community service club, mock trial, and the school newspaper. i'm fluent in russian too if that matters. However, four other people (who are definitely more academically qualified than I am) are also applying ED and have parents who have gone to Penn. any ideas? your input would be greatly appreciated!

<p>Absolutely.......</p>
<p>Pretty much in on the several million dollars part</p>
<p>lol yea i think millions of dollars could be the deciding factor...Good Luck</p>

<p>If the relative is close enough, you're a sure thing.</p>
