-I speak English as a first language, Spanish fairly well as a second, and am teaching myself Esperanto and other languages.</p>
<p>I realize it may be a long shot, but what do you think my chances ED for UPenn would be? If I really wanted to go here, should I risk applying RD for the sake of having options?</p>
