<p>ed or rd ?</p>

<p>RD
10 char</p>

<p>I think you have about a 60% shot of acceptance RD… and probably much better if you had applied ED. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks hopeful_underdog! Yeah unfortunately I didn’t visit Penn until last week but if I had visited earlier I probably would have applied ED ):</p>

<p>That’s alright! I really do think you still have a very good shot. The only thing that worries me is that 5-10 kids go to ivies and you are ranked 12th… but your application in general is very solid and very impressive. If you essay truly was powerful/enticing than I think you’ll get in because you certainly have the stats.</p>
