<p>i really want to go to penn. unfortunately, because it is ED and binding, my parents won't allow me to apply there early. there is another guy at our school however, who is applying ED for vagelos/cas. i feel like i have generally higher numbers and more ecs. but since he's applying ED, he has a higher chance of acceptance. if he does get accepted ED, does that mean it will be extremely hard for me to accepted RD, since our school doesn't typically send many to ivies?</p>
<p>Nope. Just think about it this way: do you think Penn will reject you, a qualified student who shows strong interest, just because they have already accepted some random guy in your high school? There is no quota of admission for specific highschool.</p>
