<p>ok, northeast... lots of kids apply, really cutthroat, also consider the fact that a lot of affluent communities are located in jersey, which means really good schools, adds to the competition, also consider over representation from such a small state vs. montana... FINALLY consider minority population having crazy good stats, oh and musically, lots of asians really good at violin</p>
<p>wow...and i thought so cal was competitive...maybe we're just more laid back about it lol</p>
<p>well i live in bergen county, nj.. i think it's overall the 3rd or 4th richest county in the US.. theres such a high concentraiton of people with the brains/$ to go to penn and other top schools... i'd say people from my county make up 1-2% of the ED applicant pool</p>
<p>AHA... you're no.4, cuz hunterdon is 3, and yea... 8 ed'ers to penn probably another 10 rd</p>
<p>haha in my school theres a kid with 1500 sats whose father went to wharton undergrad AND grad, aunt, grandmother, grandfather all went to penn... grandfather is a biology professor at penn...</p>
<p>... and a black HOCKEY player with JEWISH parents</p>
<p>and then me... uh... i'm good at school... and soccer? kind of. i got a 2300, hopefully thatll get me in + i think i'm saludatorian not really sure tho</p>
<p>we're all early decision</p>
<p>yeah...</p>
<p>I go to a really small high school (63 kids in my grade), and of those 63, 5 are applying to Penn ED.</p>
<p>Yeah, NJ is as cutthroat as you can get...</p>
<p>63 kids?!?!?!?! damn....thats less kids then we have in ap gov total!! 0_0 lol, i'm used to fairly large schools - my grade has a little more than 500 kids</p>
<p>i dunno tho, i wouldnt want to really live anywhere else.. i mean if u lived on a farm in nebraska u could get into penn.. but then you'd be a boring hick piece of *****.</p>
<p>i'm like 2nd in a class of 240 and got a 2300... that's my shot to get in.... and if i don't get in... at least i havent lived in montana for the first 18 years of my life... and i'll see you at cornell. if i'm lucky.</p>
<p>M800 Cr800 W790 :(</p>
<p>Haha, now now med, don't generalize. I met some Nebraskans during a national conference, and contrary to popular belief, they are just as normal as everyone else =P</p>
<p>yeah man 770 750 780.. i feel your pain.. a little.. i got 4 wrong on the whole damn thing</p>
<p>I guess it was only a question of time before someone with 99th+ percentile scores would brag on a thread called "Eders with LOW SATS".... no offense med1488 and dooit but c'mon</p>
<p>dooit...I hope you're not being serious with the sad face.</p>
<p>i'm sorry, but you people are kidding me, right?? i'd love those kinds of scores!! the only one i really have to boast about is 800 CR; the other two are blah</p>
<p>lol i bet blah is like 720</p>
<p>try 690 =__=;</p>
<p>omg thats SOO horrible u should probably stab yourself in the eye or something</p>
<p>kidding aside i'm kind of hoping penn looks for well roundedness and not excellence in a particular area.... does anyone else feel like there's nothing special about them?</p>
<p>****^ they said passion... so all i do is math/science + violin haha</p>
