<p>Yeah same. One minute I think about the things in my app that Adcom would love..then the next minute I would think about the things that might go against me. Though I'm more leaning toward rejection because I feel like I didn't present myself as a person who has a passion for engineering and is really good at math. I mostly wrote about music and arts for my essays, and the fact that I got 760 on math II doesn't help. Since I always knew that I'm good at math, I just overlooked on the importance of presenting that side on my app :(....</p>
<p>My mom tells me to think positively and prepare for the worst. I don't think it's possible to do both.</p>
<p>soysauce your situation sounds exactly like mine (applying for SEAS, I'm going back and forth from in to rejection, and my mom even tells me to prepare for the worst).</p>
<p>Yeah, so now I'm not sure if I should apply to CAS for my RD's since everyone who gets into SEAS has 800's on Math II and my credentials fit CAS. I didn't know that I wanted to apply for SEAS until I started my app and really thought about what major that would interest me. One of my teacher told me that he specifically included engineering on my rec because I told him that I'm applying to engineering schools. I don't know if I should ask another teacher and somehow not use that rec ..even though it has already been sent a month ago :( </p>
<p>My mom was like, don't be too confident..I don't think you'll get in blah blah blah..so encouraging T_T</p>
<p>I don't have any 800s on my SATs. CC makes me depressed when I see everyone with their 800s across all their tests.</p>
<p>ya'll are gonna get in.</p>
<p>Yeah....but the thing that really gets me is that I didn't even think I wouldn't get 800 on Math II...and I thought that 800 would really help increasing my chance. But now, I have 800's my two other subject tests..but not on math. The ironies in life always amaze me.</p>
<p>^Wow stop stressing out! They'll just assume you had a bad day or something and got a 760, which is perfectly legit in my opinion. I'm worring b/c I only sent two SAT IIs in, but I had 800 on both so I figured there was no need to take an extra :(. And, to top it all off, I don't think my application screamed math enough...they might reject me for that alone....</p>
<p>yo nj, take your own advice! its not bad.</p>
<p><em>grunts in affirmation of a2npersuas2n's infallible logic</em></p>
<p>While I'm here:</p>
<p>T MINUS 4:14:41:00</p>
<p>LOLLL. "I'm worried because I scored 800's on both of my subject tests."--this should be added to the wall of amazing things CC's would say. </p>
<p>To top mine off, I scored 790 on math first time and below 700 the second time. I thought that they would combine the scores, so it doesn't how low I score the second time. But now, after looking at my subject tests and reasoning test, they might think I'm just not that good with math. It makes so much sense, sadly.</p>
<p>^You shouldn't put it in quotes if it isn't verbatim. That's what destroys politicians LOLZ. :) I scored a 740 on SAT I Math the first time and then an 800 haha...I just didn't take it srsly the first time for some reason...</p>
<p>Fine. "I'm worring b/c I only sent two SAT IIs in, but I had 800 on both..." :P</p>
<p>I scored 800 on math and 760 on cr on PSAT..better than I ever did on SAT. It's good to start low then study harder than start off high then not study at all T_T. Too much confidence kills.</p>
<p>soysauce,
same reason I sucked it up on the SAT v. my PSAT.</p>
<p>haha confidence can definitely be a vice. my dad never misses an opportunity to remind me.</p>
<p>Yeah..well I know how much you can procrastinate..so no surprise. </p>
<p>I feel Asian parents do that a lot. Maybe that's why Asians are stereotyped of having low self-esteem.</p>
<p>Er, soysauce, you can't exactly change to CAS RD if you don't get into SEAS early. If you're not accepted, you're either deferred to the regular SEAS pool, or rejected outright, and you can't apply to Penn again until next year.
Just thought I'd let you know...good luck (hopefully you'll just get in and that will be the end of it, haha)</p>
<p>Scribbler, I know that I won't be able to change to CAS RD at penn. I just don't whether I should apply to other schools as CAS instead of SEAS.</p>
<p>I would suggest a mix... I applied to Wharton and IF I don't get in, I am applying to a mix of B-schools and just the normal undergrad programs</p>
<p>i couldn't sleep last night b/c i was talkin to myself (yeah, really) and debating and going back and forth...they'r gonna want me...i have no chance...MAYBE they'll want me?...no, u kidding? u have no chance!...blah blah...</p>
<p>and now, i feel like i'm constantly picking out random "things" that'll go against me. like those extra "buts" i had in my main essay...like how the other Penn ED girl at my school is an athlete...etc etc. drives me crazy insane. </p>
<p>i love how CC's my place to vent</p>
<p>"i couldn't sleep last night b/c i was talkin to myself (yeah, really) and debating and going back and forth...they'r gonna want me...i have no chance...MAYBE they'll want me?...no, u kidding? u have no chance!...blah blah..." </p>
<p>Did you pick petals too? You know...for dramatic effect?</p>
<p>The only problem with applying to mixture is that one of my recommendations that were sent out included specifically Engineering in the letter. It wasn't much, but my teacher told me that he said, "With my highest recommendation any major she wants to study, including engineering.." something like that. So if he didn't include the word engineering, it wouldn't be a problem...Since the letter has already been sent, I don't know what to do now. Is there any way for them to disregard the letter?</p>
<p>Hahahah Yourname, I did the same thing!!! I just turned back and forth on my bed for an hour...couldn't sleep, and that was at 3:00am!!! Then I turned on the mp3 player on my cellphone..to somehow distract me from thinking more about penn. UGH I already know how Thursday night would be like..</p>
