l</p>
<p>i really, really, really want to go to penn…with my overnight stay evaluation sheet, i typed up another essay and attached it describing my experience and why i want to go there. the admit officers were really pleased and even remembered my name!</p>
<p>during my stay, i met people who had lower scores than me and generally weaker applicants but they seeemed to have gotten in.</p>
<p>i know my scores are low, but i really want to make this work. what do you guys think…maybe or and i just dreaming crazy?!</p>
