<p>does anyone have that link to a chrisitan science monitor article…it has the transcript of an actual discussion of admit officers during one of their sessions…im not sure if it was princeton or penn thatwas the school featured…anyway…anybody have that article?</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>wow that was interesting- thanks! :)</p>
<p>Note that the aritcle says it took 8 days to review 2100 ED apps. Lasy year, Penn took 3340 ED apps....which should take 12 days if they work at the same pace as they did for the 2100 apps. But, 12 is probably too long and they've probably added staff or streamlined the process since this article. Let's assume it takes 10 days for 3300 apps (I bet ED goes down at Penn this year because of EA options at other schools). If it takes 10 days, and we factor in Thanksgiving AND time on the back end to complete the database for the website, etc.....I bet the apps are going to start being reviewed and decided upon on Monday, Nov 22.</p>
<p>there are so many ED from my school..about 50...</p>
<p>whoa SuperAzn.... Central is so crazy. I'm happy I didn't go there... I'd be ranked like 100. At my school, there's three ED one of which is an athlete, and there's gonna be about 10-15 RD.</p>
<p>A lot of my friends from gradeschool are applying to Penn, too. So it'll be nice if I go there knowing 5-10 people off the bat.</p>
<p>Another crazy thing about Central things is how everyone of them has some sort of story. My sister (263) had friends from Armenia and the Ukraine.... I have friends from Indiana lol.</p>
<p>actually majority of students who applied this year either low SAT high gpa or low gpa high SAT , so they are on the borderline of getting in</p>
<p>the reason for this is because tons of smart people tend to be really lazy and realizer they needed a good grade for college, so they work their ass off in junior and senior year...slacking at the same time ,but they bombed freshmen and sophomore year</p>
<p>on the other hand...there are group of students who work reall hard or some what hard like me ,tend to score low on the Standardize test...</p>
<p>PS. how was your interview? last questiom he asked me was that " What do you want me to tell the admission board that might higher or help your chance of getting in" </p>
<p>I was late but I did really well , so many lies , lol</p>
<p>I didn't have an interview.....</p>
<p>how was your sister's rank and where she went?</p>
<p>and most of the top 30 or 40 in my school are applying Rd because they want to keep their options open and top 10 are doing harvard welll 7/10 did EA for harvard </p>
<p>PS. Is this true ..rumor says that only borderline student get interview...rank 2 at my school will get her interview ... but no one knows her SAT score , she did not share it with anyone...we can assume she did not do that well</p>
<p>long as you work hard at Central your rank will be top 50 most likley</p>
<p>I guess your one of those that are definite...</p>
<p>my sister was ranked like 400th. lol. She didn't take any AP classes and had a borderline C+/ B minus gpa. She is smart though... she got a 1240. She goes to Millersville U in Lancaster but she's transferring to Temple or somewhere closer for next year. She wants to be an english teacher at central high.</p>
<p>1240 is not what you would call smart at central , no offense , 1400 or 1500 is what you would call smart , there are few dozen of kids rank around 300-500 who scored better than 1250
they're just lazy</p>
<p>some even scored 1400 or 1500 .. like 10 or 15 of them did</p>
<p>you're right she's not like smart for central, i meant she was smart compared to the general population. shes above average and just because her grades were so terrible that she didnt get into schools whose average sat is 1100 doesnt mean shes stupid.</p>
<p>i had a weird dream last night where me, my sister and this indian guy were on the philadelphia broad st subway together and it turned into a rollercoaster!!! it was awesome.</p>
<p>if your sister worked hard at central she would be like top 50 or so
top 50 ... about 10-15 of them..SAT is below 1200... toop 15... about 2-3 of them SAT below 1200 ..jus show how hard some people can work...</p>
<p>kids that work hard **** me off. lol. I like sitting around, getting good but not great grades, and making it all better by doing well on select saturdays.</p>
<p>lol im looking at the central yearbook... superazn whats youre homeroom? ill look at the pic and tell you who you are.</p>
<p>well i respect hard-working people.
but MEH. they do sort of annoy me at times.</p>
<p>219 last year I think
last advisory you think you can identify me?
this year i'm taking all the pictures I can for my yearbook , making sure everyone can see me , different clubs , activities , and the senior section ...my activities are filled up</p>
