<p>heh.. its better than european history im sure.. yea euro is interesting.. but there are just too many kings barons popes.. blarg..</p>
<p>plus ive got an essay due tomorrow.. pretty easy subject though.. treaty of westphalia..</p>
<p>my teacher is crazy.. we just passed in an essay on friday about felipe ii!!.. sighh</p>
<p>our school doesnt even have AP history, cuz they're THINKING about an IB programme MAYBE, SOMETIME, in the next 5 years :(</p>
<p>im nervous as hell. i took the SAT IIs yesterday, Bio-E, Math IC, and Spanish with Listening. I have a recruit application, but the coach said that it all comes down to my SAT II scores and he said if i got 700s I'd be fine. pressure heh. I feel good about the bio since i only omitted three questions that i did not know out of the 80 and assuming i got all others correct that would be up in the 780-800 range. math ic omitted the 6 i did not know and going by the conversions that should be around the 720-730 range. spanish.....who knows but as long as i scored well on two of the sat IIs i should be fine....well hopefully</p>
<p>they expect everyone to get 700+ on SAT II's?</p>
<p>when i visited penn, the admissions officer who was speaking at the info session said that applicants should shoot for the 700s on SAT IIs.</p>
<p>they wanted me to get 700 range for a recruit.....so id expect for others....probably to be higher...since i heard the minimum for a recruit you have to get 1200 on the regular 1600</p>
<p>oh and the coach told me a story of how he had this one girl recruit....she had to get a 680 to get in and she took the sat ii subject and got a 690 so she got in.....so they must have some heavy weight</p>
<p>sorry mistake post.</p>
<p>which math did you take...i only took math i c....not 2...so its different</p>
<p>yea sorry, i was talkin math2.. even still 720-730 is a great score.</p>
<p>yeah if i only omitted 6 in math 2 that would just be sick</p>
<p>i wish i'd known last year that i wanted to go to penn. honestly, i hadn't really thought about it yet then, and so i didn't work as hard as i could have (damn ap calc bc and ap physics!) this year, when i learned more about penn, i was like "omg! i have to go there!" and now i'm totally in love with the school i'll never get into...>__< karma sucks....</p>
<p>hmm.. does anyone have the link to last years official acceptance / rejection thread?</p>

<p>thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>the ED decision thread is making me cry:(. I'll be inconsolable if I don't get in. It'll just be misery.</p>
<p>lol i hate seeing the posts in that thread that are like..</p>
<p>'rejected.. completely crushed'
'deferred.. why why why what do they want from me?'</p>
<p>eesh... whats worse is.. prospective whartonites seem to be taking the most hits.. aye.. i think im gonna cry on dec. 15</p>
<p>the ED decision thread is NOT helping my peace of mind....</p>
<p>one person's stats actually cheered me, but then i realized that they applied to the nursing school. no offense to the nursing school, but they get the least amount of applicants so it's not as competitive ~~ (i may be wrong...i dunno)</p>
<p>I know how depressing that thread is, but try to keep in mind that CC is not a representative sampling of Penn applicants, by any definition. And there is a huge gap between accepted and deferred applicants on that thread, leaving room for all kinds of things. </p>
<p>Yes, it's easier to get into nursing, but you must have a demonstrated interest according to extracurriculars, jobs etc. because they don't want people backdooring it to the college.</p>
