SAT composite: 2240 (800M 700CR 740W)
SAT IIs: Math IIC: 800, Chem - 790... Bio M 700, French - 690
GPA: 3.92 UW (full IB)
Rank: 8/237<br>
Other stats: not much, besides being part of a national champion science olympiad team and an individual medal</p>
<p>Subjective:
Essays: i wrote about crying during a movie.. it wasn't a terribly serious essay, i was just having some fun
Teacher Recs: good... especially one of them, from a teacher who's taught me for 3 years and is my scioly coach
Counselor Rec: who knows? the guy seems very excited when he talks to me
Hook (if any): my dad works there....</p>
<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: PA
School Type: public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male
Other Factors: as mentioned above... the dad thing
Why I think I was accepted/deferred: heh.. even though they say that they don't consider parent connections for regular decisions, i think they're lying
Other thoughts: Err... i feel very guilty, when i was applying, i applied cause i felt i had to, with dad being a proffessor and all... so i had some fun on my application, didn't really take it seriously. now i feel kind of bad..</p>
<p>amptron2x: Our school is against ranking and doesn't do it. They think it creates too much competition or something to that extent, yet my friend and I were accepted to UPenn.</p>
<p>My school doesnt rank either, and i was the only from my school who applied and got accepted. so they may not always consider standings based on other applicants from the school. what they do see is how the courseload in your school is like and what opportunities are available and whether you have made full use of that.. penn visits my school nearly every year so they're quite aware of my school's system. makes it a lot easier :p .. or tougher.</p>
<p>Im an idiot. I applied pol. sci. with a 670 V score. I think I would have faired better if I applied biology, with a 780 M, and changed majors after getting accepted. Darn, Im so retarded!</p>
<p>Use this format...delete the spaces in the brackets and type decision in where it says "decision."</p>
<p>*Decision: ACCEPTED at the college *</p>
