<p>How would my chances of being accepted to Penn be affected, if it is affected at all, if there are several other applicants applying from the same school.</p>
<p>We had 1 acceptance early: recruited athlete
then I know there is another URM applying here too during RD
and does it matter if they are applying to the same undergraduate college?</p>
<p>i don't think your school matters at all. half of the kids who applied this year (ED) from my school got in. 7 total. pretty much everyone who deserved to get in got in.</p>
<p>AFAIK, only me and a Val/Sal candidate applyin' :(</p>
<p>crystalpinapple, do u live in pennsylvania?</p>
<p>They compare u to ppl from ur region, school alot actually...but if u have enough u should get in.....o.O there might be some competition between person who is applying to the same school....but if u have better stats/ECs, essays then him/her then u would get in</p>
<p>i have the same problem,
i know a couple of people applying to penn ED next year from my school
the valedic and the salu, and another student that has a slight better ranking than i do, and me, and probably some others that i don't know about. i think i want to apply to CAS and probably two other students that are better than me with SAT scores (of now) and better ranking. do i have a chance??</p>
<p>dontstopbelievin,</p>
<p>dontstopbelievin!!!! lol, jokes aside, you certainly have a chance IF you exceed them both in extra curriculars. also, don't forget, upenn is not required to take a certain amount of kids from each school, so for all we know, you all can get in.</p>
<p>haha y0itzr0 thanks. </p>
<p>but doesn't penn like to admit the students sporadically? and not a bunch from one school?</p>
<p>yep, i'm from pennsylvania. i'm from the philly suburbs. does that make a difference or something?</p>
<p>I'm from the Philly suburbs as well, and my school is reputed to be "on good standing" with Penn. I go to a public school ranked in the top 10 in the Philly area, and every year, we get a decent number of admits. I think going to school near Penn has some influence.</p>
<p>^i thought it had more to do with the fact that so many kids at my school are legacies and/or have parents who work there, but i guess going to school near Penn has a positive effect as well. we usually get around 10+ish kids who end up going each year. masterman and CHS in philly get more than that. </p>
<p>but the original question -- i don't think it matters that multiple people are applying from the same school, but your high school relationship with penn might matter a bit (?)</p>
<p>Yep, I agree with that.</p>
<p>just early admission this year, 12/14 kids got in from Ramaz, a school in nyc, and 3/5 got in from my school.</p>
<p>so yeah, it's really not about the school. just the kids.</p>
