<p>ED= Early Decision. I would definately check with admissions and see if they “recommend” another year of a language. I realize you are fluent in Chinese but since you are Chinese unfortunately that does not necessarily count as classes. All I am saying is it is definately worth a phone call while you can still change your classes for next year. Call the regional rep for your area, this can be found on Penn’s website and ask the question. Can’t hurt. Remember the essays are so important! Good Luck!</p>
