<p>Hello fellow upenn hopefuls. I was deferred from the early decision round and was wondering what my chances were on being admitted during the regular phase. I go to an extremely competitive school on Long Island (you can imagine), which has tons of penn applicants every year. I would appreciate if anyone knew that was the percentage of students that were deferred are admitted to the college for regular decision.</p>

<p>My stats:
96 GPA (UNWEIGHTED), we do not weight averages and we use a 100 point scale. For example, we are given averages out of 100 and then they are all averaged at the end of the year. A 90-100, B 80-89, etc
9 Honors courses taken, 10 AP courses (4 junior year courses) </p>

<p>Senior year courses
AP Physics
AP Calculus BC
AP Eng Language
AP Economics (micro, macro)
AP Spanish Language
AP Psychology</p>

<p>SAT: 1450
SAT IIs: 730 (writing), 720 (Math IC), 700 (US History)</p>

<p>I sent them a letter telling them that I really wanted to go to penn and that Penn is still my top choice a day after I was deferred over night mail. I am also sending them another letter in about two days reaffiriming that Penn is my #1 choice and how I have been accepted at two top 25 univiersities and will still attend Penn if I am accepted.</p>

<p>steve, I wonder what those two top 25 univesities are. based on your posts, you are just wanting to attend a bunch of different colleges, have not been accepted to ANY.</p>
