<p>I don’t know any school where a cousin makes you a legacy. Does Nova really consider you one?</p>

<p>Penn is not realistic. They take almost no one with your CR score. maybe a quarterback or a math genius with English as a second language, but not an unhooked candidate. Your math score isn’t in range either.</p>

3

<p>I gotta agree with the above. 2050/30 (and those would be on the lower end) or bust, is what I usually say for Penn. Also, since you will be applying RD, your chances are even lower.</p>

4

<p>I agree 100%. Just for clarification though, I applied ED.</p>

5

<p>yeah, I thought it was weird too, but they give you the pre-selected option of a cousin under alumni relation.</p>

6

<p>Also, I can’t use my sat because I didn’t take subjects tests. Oddly, my act English was a 31.</p>

7

<p>Have you considered a gap year? Sounds like if you took the time to get the scores right, you’d land at a better school. Your rank is strong.</p>

8

<p>It sounds like a cool idea, but I’ve never thought about it.</p>
