<p>I don’t like the chances myself.</p>

<p>Nothing seems to stand out, which would make you pretty typical.</p>

4

<p>i disagree…sort of
true no EC seems to really stand out too much, but a lot of them are pretty respectable. plus upenn has pretty generous ED rates, i’d say more like low reach…?</p>

<p>You have to consider that there is a big chance that the person considered before him has a good shot at having very similar stats, and they could turn him down just for that.</p>

6

<p>thanks. i appreciate it.
and yeah, i realize that nothing really stands out, but i’m gonna try to show that i’m a pretty well rounded guy overall in my application.</p>

7

<p>You have a shot. It can be very hard when you’re from PA because there are many legacies, staff kids and others connected to the school and they don’t want a class full of kids from in state.</p>

8

<p>u have a shot, but u can never be quite sure about ivy league colleges. make sure u apply to safety colleges</p>
