<p>good a shot as any.</p>

<p>But... it is unofficially officially known as PENN, not UPENN :).</p>

3

<p>lol, too late to change =P</p>

4

<p>yep, that's why the website is <a href="http://www.upenn.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.upenn.edu&lt;/a>... altho penn.edu takes you there too</p>

<p>You started this same thread in EVERY SINGLE IVY LEAGUE FORUM. Nobody respond to this. If you want your chances, you to the FORUM DESIGNATED FOR IT.</p>

<p>desertman/lynda/kiria: bec u are/is (god, this is hard on the grammar =D) the same person, plz just look at my response to ur other post in all my threads. dun hate me, u already got into ED, no need for competition, even though we are from the same school =)</p>

<p>ali_liu, </p>

<p>pick a forum and stick to it.<br>
there's no need to copy and paste everywhere. </p>

<p>and no, i am neither desertman, lynda, nor kiria.</p>

<p>sry guyz, i didn't know u guyz would be this annoyed at it, should i wait a while before posting this in "what are my chances"? like, will u guys mind if i did that? i won't do it until i get a reply..cause i dun wanna offend neone =)</p>

<p>i think the general idea seems to be that you shouldn't just be applying to all the ivies for the sake of it, pick the one you like most...</p>

10

<p><em>sigh</em> i am not applying to anywhere outside of the ivies..financial aid problems but i am applying to safeties in Canada. I just wanted to know my chances at some of these schools bec i understand that all's a shot! =D</p>

11

<p>i think the general chances board would be more suited for that then...</p>

12

<p><em>sigh</em>...i just wanted some college-specific advice....=(</p>

13

<p>College admissions is basically the same game for most colleges (you try to get the best stats and credentials) Narrow the list down and maybe then go after the specifics.</p>
