<p>the teachers @ our school have an unwritten policy that they wont write the rec as well if we dont waive our rights to see the rec - so i never know good the recs were. but those teachers like me.</p>

<p>im starting the essays now but theyre real good so far.</p>

<p>just curious about my chances.&lt;/p>

2

<p>you shouldve applied to penn instead of columbia man. what a shame.</p>

3

<p>btw i got deferred ED from columbia and right now i feel like i'm gonna get deferred/rejected from all the schools i like. so i dont mean to come across as bragging or anything if thats what some ppl think.</p>

4

<p>Columbia deferred you...</p>

<p>Must have a ton of people from NJ applying. </p>

<p>As far as Jerome Fisher goes, no one really has an idea. Only 40 kids get in, so it will be difficult for all.</p>

5

<p>I'm applying RD Jerome Fisher, and Wharton if I dont get into M&T. Just curious to know what the acceptance rate is like for RD M&Ters</p>

6

<p>its in the single digits
maybe like 8-9% id say</p>

7

<p>ouch that does NOT look promising. How do M&T rejects get treated by Wharton? Are they considered equal amongst the other Wharton applicants or put secondary? All this 'cause im debating whether to apply M&T (thats a dream program for me, but hey, if it reduces my chances of attending Penn, why apply for it ;))</p>

8

<p>Excellent scores and ECs, i'd say go for it.</p>

9

<p>go for it bro, you're stats are great</p>
