<p>Your obvious question is really only regarding PennED for that is the binding one. College or Wharton? I'd say your stuff looks good, which you already know. Lots of kids from NY apply and that could factor in but best of luck to you. I hope you turn out to be a Quaker.......it is a nice place to be. Hang in there, only a few more days until you click n smile. Do you have your PIN and all that you need to get the answer as soon as they post the decisions?</p>
<p>yea its definately up a lot because they give a much bigger boost to ED than any other upper echelon school. however, if they do not compensate with extra spots for the extra kids, that percent goes down 20%, which means they give just an average bump, which kinda defeats the whole purpose for a lot of people</p>
<p>you could look at it that way or you could plan for rolling into regular. I'd say that they have announced the number of apps but not the quality. Perhaps the numbers won't prove out.......applicants who aren't so strong but trying to tailgate in on ED. Perhaps the weaker alum acceptances will be blighted. Only time will tell.</p>
<p>Hey, I just posted 5 min. ago, Penn. College ED too...good luck to the both of us, eh? Intimidating list of colleges, I'm not sure about going for another Ivy though. Still, nice stats. What's your GPA, which I can't seem to find?</p>
