2

<p>i know my ec's are prob a little light but im more focused on my research activities which i will show in my application</p>

3

<p>Chances: 29%
Good luck
It's supposed to be tougher next year actually, so maybe down to 25% if enough kids apply ED.</p>

4

<p>pretty good chances. just be sure to good essays and not sound cocky!</p>

5

<p>Never mind, reread the legacy thing. I bump you up to 50%+ for ED. Do the interview and tell me what it's like. My dad was too lazy to drive up to Philly for me.</p>

6

<p>Take Sat one more time and write good essays and recommendation you're in</p>

7

<p>I put you through my rigorous chances formula and got NaN</p>

8

<p>That's because you take the square root of a negative number somewhere. Let me fix it for you and tell you the real chance.</p>

<p>There we go, 0</p>

9

<p>If you use some abstract methamatical techniques, the answer is:</p>

<p>become a millionaire off of drug sales, and buy your way into high society. Then you can be a "development case"</p>

10

<p>ur in w/ legacy</p>

11

<p>the real question is: do you REALLY want to go to the same school as your brother? and, does your brother want you at the same school as him?</p>

<p>my answer is no, but what's yours? ;)</p>

12

<p>Yeah whatever you're into Penn. Legacy and free money. You should get into the rest too, but probably/maybe not Stanford.</p>

13

<p>Well, your list of ECs is actually pretty ho-hum, especially because you're coming from long island where it'll be very competitive and you don't seem to have any awards to show for all of your science competition work. That said, you do have a lot of good high school lab work, grunt work though it likely was. It'd be nice to see your CR score over 700 as well; I still think you'd get in as of now though, especially if you apply early.</p>

<p>i dont see how penn could reject you.</p>
