<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc: Sincere congrats to everyone else who got accepted! I’m still feeling it even after a week. For those who got deferred, you still have a shot don’t cross Penn off your list yet! And for those who got rejected, really I don’t know what more you guys could have done looking at your SAT scores. But maybe you can get in HYP instead!</p>

[li] Rank or % estimate: 5/318</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: My common app was only 330 words but my English teacher loved it so I kept it short. My Why Penn essay was amazing and I liked my optional essay as well. I spent a lot of time on each.
[</em>] Optional Essay?(Y/N): Yes
[<em>] Teacher Recs: Pretty good I would guess, didn't read
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Really good
[<em>] Supplemental Rec(s)?: None
[</em>] Hook (if any): I'm not sure if it helps, but not many kids from my school go to Ivy League or comparable schools

<p>[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[<em>] State or Country: New Jersey
[</em>] School Type: Public
[<em>] Ethnicity: White

<p>[/ul]Other Factors (weaknesses, strengths, etc.): Strengths: My application showed lots of leadership, my essays were great, I'm involved in my school, and my SAT scores were competitive. Weaknesses: SAT II scores (especially for Wharton), relative lack of volunteer hours. </p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc: I'm psyched to know I'm going to be attending Penn and Wharton, and getting accepted ED is a huge relief. I posted this for RD candidates and next year's applicants to show that you don't need to be a legacy or valedictorian or have outstanding SAT's or put in 500 volunteer hours to get in. Spend time on your essays, it pays off.</p>
