[li] Gender: Female[/li][/ul][ b]Other Factors:** General Comments: I was pretty much banking on getting deferred. I guess my stats are okay, but theyre nothing spectacular. I dont have many crazy extracurriculars and I have NO leadership whatsoever. Its not really because I suck at being a leadermore like I didnt try to bother being president of some insignificant club on campus just so I could list it on my college applications. I knew Id get deferred so I finished some of my regular apps. I just feel kind of stupid for applying early to Penn because I skipped an entire week of school just to work on their app and ended up not getting in whereas if I had chosen another school I could have gotten in and that would have been cool. Oh well, life goes on. Congratulations to everyone who got in! And people who didnt, I feel yall. Hahaha. :P PEACE OUT YO!</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in!! i am so happy to see that Penn looked beyond SAT scores... (okay and I'm slightly regretting not applying b/c i have a lot of legacies lol) but seriously good job guys. To those deferred, hang in there... I was deferred myself from Wash U so I know exactly how you feel. But you've still got a chance. And to those rejected, (some of you I can't understand how), I know you will find and get into a school that you love-- you deserve to! :)</p>

<p>I hate this site for the face it gives the college admissions process. We all wear our masks and grow to fit them, and throughout this whole process I found this site to be incredibly meanspirited (especially in the "what are my chances" threads). Just glad its over. Congrats to those who got in, you'll see me around next year.</p>
