<p>Under the assumption I get into all my other schools:
90% (if I get in with good aid)
35% (if I get in without good aid)
0% (lol, well... hopefully you can see the progression here)</p>
<p>Chance that I will get in, in the first place: .05% (to be generous:))</p>
<p>need i post my percentages? (yes, i know they are all a mystery :) )</p>
<p>haha gettin in, 100% attending, done deal :) !</p>
<p>theres not a damn school in the world that could offer me enough money to go to their institution over penn (without any form of bribe)! :)</p>
<p>unless of course...the school somehow managed to sum up an amount greater than the entire worlds value in capital (16 trillion dollars? i would need 16 trillion and one dollar at least.... :) )</p>
<p>drizzit - did your son get a generous scholarship from USC??</p>
<p>because my parents were all set on me going to Penn if I got in but then they found out USC would be giving me about $18,000/yr merit aid and their opinions changed.</p>
<p>50%, USC likes to give money and I'm still a little bitter from getting deferred. Asian parents would be tickled pink if I went to a bona fide Ivy</p>
