<p>Other Factors: I think the most important thing for this year especially was that I really wanted to go to Penn... I applied early and I got deferred and then I wrote a letter saying it was still my first choice and I think that came across clearly in my essays, interview, etc. My best advice to anyone is to apply early if you're able to and even you can't find a way to signal to a school that they're your first choice. Oh and if you're waitlisted right now make sure to send them a letter.</p>
