<p>bump?......</p>

<p>solid, i guess. the music EC's are pretty good. GPA, rank, and AP scores are a trouble spot, though somewhere i heard that bad (4, lol) AP scores aren't a big app killer. Same old advice: you CAN get in, so apply, early if possible, and murder the essays and get fantastic recs</p>

4

<p>dude, if you have a 2200 why do you even post the stats. scores that high pretty much guarantee you admission to the school.</p>

5

<p>famous last words</p>

6

<p>famous last words? huh?</p>

7

<p>2200 is 200 away from perfect. it doesn't guarentee anything. besides one must account for my crappy GPA and the fact that people w/ 3.9's and 2360's don't get in.</p>

8

<p>exactly. and its my theory is because they think they will. know your weaknesses, and use killer essays to shift attention to your strengths. with solid essays your EC odds are >60%, prob. much more</p>

<p>Regular penn, maybe, but wharton, no chance.</p>
