[<em>] Essays: I really don’t know. I only asked one teacher to look at my common app essay, and I didn’t run my supplement essays by anyone. But I edited so much that in the end I had five different common app essays. I guess editing again and again paid off. Also, for the supplement essay Pg 217, I took a huge risk. I didn’t know whether the admissions officer would accept my topic and style, but I guess it worked out! Why Penn was pretty normal, I researched a lot about Penn beforehand.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: I think these tipped my app. positively. One of my teachers, who worked at a top 50 high school in the US before, wrote really great things about me. Another wrote about some of the difficulties I had, and how I overcame them.
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Don’t know, not that close to my counselor.

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc: guess all the hard work paid off. It’s such a relief for me. The last few years have been difficult, but I this makes it all worth it.

<p><em>FOR DEFEREES</em> IF accepted, reasons why you think so, actions you took after being deferred, etc…:</p>
<p>Deferred.
I think my rank killed me. my SAT’s, essays, recs were all pretty strong. And I had legacy advantage… Meh, can’t say that I didn’t see it coming, though. </p>
<p>Hopefully… I might still have a chance at RD. That’s a long shot, seeing as how many people got deferred.</p>
