<p>What do ya think?</p>

<p>Looks fine. Who knows. Wait like 5 weeks.</p>

3

<p>Not the strongest I have seen, but not the weakest either.
You fall into the hazy middle section. Have you taken any AP's prior to this year?</p>

4

<p>Your chances are fine. Waiting's the worst part of applying, but you'll get through it. March 31st isn't too far off! Good luck!!</p>

5

<p>Yeah I took AP US History (4) and AP Physics B (3)</p>

6

<p>Hmm.. you mention that you are fantastic at school, yet you didn't do so great on APs. Maybe, standarized tests are just not good measures for some. I think you have as good a shot as anyone else. Good luck! or shall I say Mazel Tov! ( I have too many Jewish friends...)</p>

7

<p>Yeah, I find standardized testing is sort of unfair... haha, probably because I'm not the greatest at it, but that depends. Plus, the Physics AP is known to be extremely difficult, and I scored among the top in my class. However, that might have also been due to the teacher.. :o</p>

8

<p>woohoo, the wait is almost over! we're rounding the final lap :D</p>

9

<p>When are they being sent out?</p>

<p>Hmm I guess that's standard for all the Ivies then? Because I heard Penn's goes up then as well.</p>
