<p>but i also know ppl like myself coming from one of those schools that got kids in previous years with 1300-1400 and like 93 averages where the valed and salud have like a 97. No rankings. I was top 5 percent however, 1450 SAT, which landed me into Cornell A & S, Northwestern A & S, Chicago, Rice, Duke, and JHU I DID NOT GET IN PENN ED, deferred</p>
<p>bball87, what do you think was your greatest strength & weakness in your entire application? (Also, what's your location, etc.?) Thanks!</p>
<p>biggest strength, GRADES, which were phenomenal in a verrrrry strong schedule, graduated taking 10 Aps, which was like ridiculous. I was President of a few clubs, captain of tennis team, did some research, and my personal essay was reallllllllllly strong and personal. </p>
<p>Weakness: i really dont know, everyone in my school was shocked that i didnt get in.</p>
<p>How did students from your school fare at admissions to Penn ED in the past? Thanks for the insight</p>
<p>my year, not one student was accepted ed. Every year before, about 3 kids were accepted early. However, the school literaly 1 mile away, had 4 kids admitted early. Me, and 2 others were deferred early. One is at columbia, the other duke, and i am at cornell. So you can see we were all qualified.</p>
<p>bball - Are you from NY?</p>
<p>anyone able to sum up the columbia ED decisions?</p>
<p>Sum up Columbia ED decisions: strange</p>
<p>sum up columbia ED decisions: gives me RD hope at Penn :)</p>
<p>i have a 1540 on the math/verbal sections, but a 640 on the writing. will my poor grammar scores keep me from wharton? i have fairly decent essays, and what not (so im not completly illiterate)...</p>
<p>how strange? i only read the first few pages, but it seemed like there were a million deferred, and those that got accepted tended to be 2200+.</p>
<p>I'm subpar and proud :)
at least according to some CCers</p>
<p>When do Cornell decisions come out?</p>
<p>someone said one day after us?</p>
<p>i second what you said 26e, columbia decisions scared the s-h-i-t out of me. Everyone accepted was like 2200+ and some 2380's were even rejected/deferred. jeez, i wish i understood how this process works...</p>
<p>yea, it was so scary to read those. and this thread is scary because i am right on the brink of having low scores.</p>
<p>recruits can get in, if it's an important sport to the school, with low scores... if you're a lightweight male rower with a 6:30 2k erg score, the coaches have said they can get someone in with a 3.3 gpa</p>
<p>I saw a decent number of Columbia and Dartmouth acceptees in the 2000-2100 range but definitely nothing lower than that... then there were many 2200 and 2300 rejectees... strange, as always :-/</p>
<p>I just hope that I have a shot cause I only have a 2020 (re-taking in January tho...)</p>
