<p>Well, to start off, Penn has always been my dream, I love it, I was inspired by a family friend, who graduated from Penn, and told me that it was the best decision that he has ever made in his life. He graduated from Harvard Business, and he's now making 7 figures a year...
I love the professors at Penn, I love the campus, I love the area, and I'd love to get in applying ED...
I don't want to sound like a pretentious ****** bag, but I really just want and estimate for my chances of getting into Penn early... I'm Penn-crazed.
My grades aren't that solid, and my SAT is decent, but I'm hoping my ECs will pull me through...</p>
