<p>Hi soo Penn is my first choice but I didn't apply early because there are these crazy circumstances (a really qualified legacy and athletic recruit from my school are both applying early) so I decided to apply early in some other places and try to get some scholarships. Anyways given these circumstances, do I have a crack at regular admissions?</p>

<p>Gender:Female
Location: CT
Race: White
SAT: 800 CR, 780 Math, 750 Writing (single sitting)
SAT II: 780 Spanish, 760 U.S. History, 710 Math II, 700 Lit (took each once)
AP Scores: US History 5, Stat 5, Lang and Comp 5</p>

<p>Grades: second in class, never got an A-
Senior Courses: Honors English, AP Span, AP BC Calc, AP Econ, AP Modern European History, Orchestra (no science but I took honors bio, chem, physics other years)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: President Orchestra, Concertmistress Orchestra, Captain Debate, Captain Mock Trial, Captain Quiz Bowl Team Mock Trial State Champions 2007, Various Speaking Awards for Debate, Western Regional Violinist</p>

<p>Awards: National Merit, Ct Governor's, Brown Book</p>

<p>Essays: Pretty solid
Recs: Fantastic
Interview: I interview really well</p>

<p>I know that ED gives you a big advantage because you show them that they are the first choice but I did put them as my first choice school when reporting to National Merit so maybe this will help me?</p>

<p>Feedback is very appreciated :)</p>

<p>i believe u do!! idk i’m not a pro at these chancing stuff but i think u have a good chance. ED would have been great tho. but good luck!!</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot. Definitely worth applying. But remember the Ivies are pretty much based on luck if doing RD.</p>

4

<p>yes you have a “crack” at the RD.</p>

5

<p>CAS yes</p>

<p>wharton/seas i doubt it</p>

<p>but CAS, DEFINITELY yes</p>

6

<p>^
actually, I’m pretty sure seas has the highest admission % among those 3 schools.</p>

7

<p>seas is also more self selective</p>

8

<p>also, her math stats won’t really back her into seas and her activities seem more like a CAS person</p>

9

<p>probably in at CAS regular…you’re a very focused individual (in a good way), which will get you in IMHO.</p>

<p>ya its cas, poly sci major</p>

<p>Well if it’s CAS then you seem like a good fit. Best of luck!</p>
