<p>so NO ONE from my school ever applies 2 penn…maybe a few in some scattered years…i dont think anyone has gone. will this work against me?</p>
<p>not always. did you read that article that someone put on the Columbia boards? that kid who applied from Kansas had not-so-good credentials, but since barely anyone ever applied from that area they wanted to encourage applicants.</p>
<p>there's a chance your school has a bad history with penn based on someone they accepted...or maybe your school isn't that good or something...</p>
<p>but it could always be the former. and that they'd want to accept you to encourage other kids from ur school to apply later.</p>
<p>no its not that ppl applied but got rejected... no one from my school ever aims that high</p>
<p>right. it's like my school and HYP. i'm sure they won't hold it against you that no one from there has ever aimed that high...</p>
