<p>i'll say you're in for all of them, with princeton being the only real tossup. essays are important, but for you they should just serve as a confirmation of academic success, motivation in life, etc, so just dont screw that up and you're definitely in pretty good shape.</p>
<p>thanks guys.
no, i'm not applying ED.
yes, those are my real stats.
yes, princeton is my biggest tossup.
no, i don't want you guys to stop w/ the advice!</p>
<p>wow.. is affirmative action used to that much of an extreme? i find it mind blowing that a non-URM would have like no chance with those stats due to lack of leadership positions.. just wondering.</p>
<p>gopumas07 is correct. I wouldn't be so sure that URM helps that much. Although this URM's "academic vitality" seems promising, I wouldn't be too surprise if he doesn't get in.</p>
<p>I would be surprised. If you look over CC stats for people with stats/backgrounds such as the OP's, they've all had great success. He's got a good shot.</p>
<p>oh yeah and i have leadership positions. i just didn't put them in there. that's obviously not my whole resume. i've president of about 2 or 3 of those clubs and 2 others that i didn't put on there. but if i do have weaknesses in my opinion, it's my gpa and my leadership positions.</p>
<p>For instance, no one bothered to ask what school at Penn you are applying for. Wharton? 11% (or so) acceptance rate? A shoo-in with 3.67 GPA? </p>
<p>Most people here are assuming CAS I think when chancing you. IF you are applying to Wharton, your chances are probably more around Princeton range or even less.</p>
<p>But honestly, I agree that you're in at CAS.</p>
<p>yeah i'd be applying to CAS.
my gpa is so bad cuz i had 3 B's freshmen year. they were all B+'s too. (3.5)
sophomore year i had 2 B+'s. (3.67)
and this year my only B was a B+ in history and i need one point on the final to get an A. (3.83) gay.</p>
