<p>Hello fellow college hopefuls. I was deferred from the early decision round at take a guess-Penn and was wondering what my chances were on being admitted during the regular phase at second top school--Emory. 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>cantwaittogotocollege, honestly, are you stalking me or do you have absolutely no life and go to each school's thread and track down who is writing what and on what threat?? Seriosuly, I would ponder those questions and strongly recommend you find something that occupies your time instead of stalking people. I mean seriously you must have too much free time. I have a right to post on multiple school posts and I do in fact have an interest in all of them. I am not a dimwit who applies to random schools and has no intention of intending. As you probably know b/c you have stalked all of my posts, I am very interested in going to Northwestern, Penn, Duke, Cornell, or Hopkins. Now will you please stop stalking me. Much appreciated, Thanks, Steve</p>
<p>pennhopeful, I have no intention to stalk you. what happened was I saw this thread on Cornell board and then when I went to Northwestern thread, I also saw the exact same thread, with the title, "I love Northwestern" I think it was. Then, yeah, I did find all the posts by you to see how many people you are trying to deceive. People are trying to evaluate your chances because it is your SECOND choice. Tell them it's your 5th choice. Do you think they will still put effort to even read your stats? Why can't you just say you are interested instead of saying it is your second choice? I mean I don't know why but that just makes me mad. by the way, I love how you think you are smart enough to fool people and think other people are stupid enough to be fooled at the same time.</p>
<p>tell me if im wrong, but you two are the same people who lie to there friends about where they applied in order to gain that competetive edge. I bet your parents also have login names and they pride themselves on being very involved in the application process. ITS JUST COLLEGE, GROW THE ***** UP..........</p>
<p>dammit, word gets my ass all the time. and there and their are totally interchangeable on message boards, it's an unwritten rule that i follow. and yeah im talking about you and the kid you called out for "deceiving" us. but that post wasnt a negative one, i appreciate you looking out for everyone's interests and making sure none of us ever get "deceived" again. and shame on you pennhopeful for the shannagins you are trying to pull. dammit!! with that type of character you won't be accepted anywhere, and you will be forced to go to COMMUNITY COLLEGE, with all the other posters who make up lies about their top choices. </p>
<p>p.s. as you already know, yes you have a prayer.</p>
<p>my friend was deffered from upenn last year and got in regular
but his uncle was an alum and i think some strings might have been pulled for him...
as for whether or not you got a prayer i imagine if all your essays were written with that sort of grammar, no you do not have a prayer.
otherwise, sure, you seem smart/well rounded enough</p>
