Chance... yourself!

<p>Decisions come out in five days. I saw this game in another forum, so let's see if anyone wants to play it here.</p>

<p>Answer the following questions:</p>

<p>1) What percent chance do you think you have at admission to UPenn?
2) Why do you think that?
3) What are you going to do if you are admitted, and what will you do if you are not?</p>

<ol>
<li>40% chance</li>
<li>Philly resident, spunky essay, prominent high school, decent academic scores, sister goes there (doesn’t really count)</li>
<li>I would take the offer if I were admitted. If I am not, I’m going to my 2nd choice college, whose campus overlaps with Penn. :P</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>33%</li>
<li>Awesome essay, recs, interview, ECs, grades, gpa, class rank. Average SATS. </li>
<li>OMG wouldn’t have to ask me twice! Penn is my dream school! If I am not, I will cry, scream, get over it and choose another college.</li>
</ol>

<p>Brilliant extracurriculars, essay, interview, teacher recs.</p>

<p>FAIL SAT, ACT, SAT Sub Test, GPA, Class rank.</p>

<p>Sigh…</p>

<ol>
<li>20% shot</li>
<li>Average SATs for Penn, 4.0 UW GPA, pretty good interview, strong personal statement, decent extra-curriculars, unique work experience, no hook (half-asian, half-white female), nothing absolutely amazing about me</li>
<li>If I got in…I would find out at school in 6th period. I’d scream and dance around and hug my friend. Then I would reject all the other colleges who have offered me admission (as long as their fin aid package is good and I don’t get into Columbia) and live happily ever after. If I was rejected, I would shrug my shoulders and go back to obsessing over how I’m going to afford to attend my second (or I guess technically third) choice, University of Chicago.</li>
</ol>

<p>1) What percent chance do you think you have at admission to UPenn?
5%?
2) Why do you think that?
likely from cornell, sucky essays, female engineering applicant, national lvl olympiad gold 3) What are you going to do if you are admitted, and what will you do if you are not?
admitted–> over the moon! not admitted–> peace :D</p>

<ol>
<li>1%.</li>
<li>you never know what part of your app attracts the AO, or nothing at all.</li>
<li>I will kill myself, either by laughing too hard or crying too hard.</li>
</ol>

<p>1) What percent chance do you think you have at admission to UPenn? Honestly, 10% ish…
2) Why do you think that? Based on the colleges I’ve heard back from so far…Also, kickass essay :slight_smile:
3) What are you going to do if you are admitted, and what will you do if you are not? No reaction whatsoever. Just gonna refresh the next window and see what the other ivies’ decisions are</p>

<p>1) 25%
2) Decent scores and GPA; little APs; aced interview
3) Hell yes, unless columbia accepts me too!</p>

<p>1) 9.5%
2) Didn’t get rejected ED…that’s where all my hope lies. I have no idea where I stand as an applicant, although my stats are fair. Not boding so well though with other decisions.
3) I’d drop everything and run around screaming if I get in. Then I’ll send in my deposit two minutes later. It’s my dream school and I really want to go. If I don’t get in I’ll be sad…</p>

<ol>
<li>10%</li>
<li>Amazing EC’s (great FIRST Robotics team, started science olympiad team), good AP’s, average SAT’s</li>
<li>Be very happy to know I’m going to a great place; be a little frustrated, but over it soon</li>
</ol>
