<p>@daretorun and pennplease</p>

<p>I feel the EXACT same way. I know I need to get off these boards because they will do literally NOTHING to help me at this point, and I just see posts that make me feel like ****, like when someone with a 2350 asks if they have any chance and I have a 2120. COOL. Oh and I feel like I really have no way of knowing if I really stand out or not, or if there are 30 other people whose applications are really similar. </p>

<p>Agh. Writing this post has made me really realize I need to get off the CC until my ultimate rejection and then I can get back on to help me with other applications.</p>

82

<p>At least you have a 2120. :P</p>

<p>and yeah I think we should just focus on our other apps, as hard as that may be</p>

83

<p>at least you guys have a score:( I am currently waiting for my ACT scores to come in. this is really frustrating.</p>

<p>what happens if I don’t get the score in time? does that mean a deferral or a rejection? I do have my SAT I scores though (2120)</p>

84

<p>I haven’t even submitted my application yet and I’m already freaking out… December is going to be a looooong month. Jan-april 1 will be way longer. Ahhhh :)</p>

85

<p>Ivystriver, please allow us EDers to stress out before you!</p>

86

<p>Thought it’d get a head start. Lol</p>

87

<p>I’d* … Can’t spell. :/</p>

88

<p>No! Don’t! Because if you haven’t noticed already; ALL OF US EDers ARE FREAKING OUT! THE AMOUNT OF STRESS WE’RE EXPERIENCING AS THE WAIT BOILS DOWN TO NEXT FRIDAY SLOWLY KILLS US ALL!</p>

<p>Didn’t I tell you to drink a milkshake and to do some yoga?</p>

<p>@jordancohen, you’ll be fine!!! with your URM and legacy hook, you’re almost a shoe-in as long as your stuff is acceptable and there aren’t any clear faults/problems with your application. </p>

<p>If it makes you feel better, I’m an ORM AND have no legacy hook, nor am I a recruited athlete. You’ll be just fine. :)</p>

91

<p>GAHHHHH! The only thing I am hoping will get me anywhere is my resume, LOR, interview, transcript and my recent correspondence with Dean Eric Furda a week ago. I couldn’t believe it, I emailed him a recent accomplishment because my interviewer told me to notify the Office of Admissions if anything interested pops up that should be added to my resume. Within 5 minutes he replied. I was just glad that he saw my name. Like I said on this post:<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/1039980-penn-ed-decisions-dec-10th-15th-please-weigh-3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/1039980-penn-ed-decisions-dec-10th-15th-please-weigh-3.html&lt;/a&gt; I’m not the average Ivy League applicant. Hmmf. This is annoying. There’s really no telling what will happen with me. :/</p>

92

<p>The more time I spend on CC, the more I become convinced that a rejection is much more likely than an acceptance, but I can keep the dream alive until next Friday, right? I have no hook, either. Bottoms up.</p>

93

<p>It’s annoying to think that there is absolutely nothing more I can do at this point. Except to start my other applications. Which I realllllyyyy do not want to do.</p>

94

<p>I completely agree @pennplease123. I wish there was a little video camera in the admissions room with a live feed to the internet so I could watch as they review my application. What they liked, didn’t like, etc. Better yet, I wish they had the time to meet with all of us personally. But I guess that what the interview was for.</p>

95

<p>reading these comments makes me feel even worse lol, i didn’t even get an interview.</p>

96

<p>Haha that would be awesome!! A chance to explain everything that is unclear on your application, or give excuses for something that they didn’t like.
I wrote 3 essays last night for other college applications and it made me really sad to think that they might have to be used.</p>

97

<p>Keep the faith… any of us can be accepted, after all you had the confidence to apply right? I just keep telling myself that there is nothing else I could have done…I feel like a strong candidate and if they don’t choose me it’s not because I didn’t do something right it’s just a pure numbers game. Let’s all keep our chins up!</p>

98

<p>I’m definitely getting a no on Dec 10</p>

<p>Hey guys… I applied ED to Penn and I really doubt I’m getting in, I have the scores and grades to but my GPA is a bit low – lets just say I didn’t have my act together freshman year. </p>

<p>My best family friend is Ron Perelman and his daughter is my godmother and she wrote a recommendation on my behalf – if you aren’t familiar with the Perelmans he’s the man who donated the Perelman Quad and donates a few mil every other year or so. Do you think this could help my chances? I dont know… it’s not like having a recommendation from a random alum…
Thanks for your help! good luck to everyone who applied ED!</p>

<p>I’m not sure! But it certainly can’t hurt.</p>
