<p>Chances anyone?</p>
<p>you have an amazing transcript and i’m sure you have a good chance of getting in. have confidence in yourself and your achievements.</p>
<p>wow, thanks so much. I’m glad you think so. But im still a little skepticall… there are some brilliant minds at that school…</p>
<p>listen, this college admissions thread isn’t going to make a decision for you. there’s nothing more you can do at this point except for live your life and wait for April 1st. (difficult i know - the anxiety) You don’t need this. Just be patient and again, have confidence in all of your hard work. If you get in, you deserve it definitely, if you don’t, then Penn doesn’t deserve you.</p>
<p>well actually, i haven’t applied yet, so I’m going to be waiting a bit longer than April 1st. But thank you for your words of consolation!</p>
<p>i’ll be scratching my head if you didn’t get in (with the exception of Wharton of course)</p>
<p>good luck :D</p>
<p>Rejection wouldn’t surprise me, but I would think you have somewhat of a shot. There are THOUSANDS of students who send the typical application to Ivy League schools. High SAT/ACT scores, straight A’s, well-rounded ECs, community service, varsity letters, blah blah blah.</p>
<p>According to what you have written up there, you are missing a key part that will set you apart. Think about it.</p>
