<p>whoa so you havent applied to any other schools except penn?
If that is the case, then you are in some deep-ass ****. NYU and Cornell's things are due on the 1st and 2nd of Jan; Umich requires 4 essays. I mean your stats are very impressive, really. But scores sometimes don't mean crap as you see handful of 36's and 2400s getting turned down every year. So I want you now to get your ass off this website and start doing some major essay action if the case I'm sayin is the case your havin</p>
<p>you need to show your interest. the "litmus test" i like to use is this: if the admissions committee heard your name or saw your face, would they know something about you?</p>
<p>if not, you're not trying hard enough, no excuses.</p>
<p>you'd be surprised how much respect a guy who shows real interest and is that tenacious commands amongst other people.</p>
