<p>I'd say you have a strong shot at Penn ED, but beware if you're not accepted; you have no clear safeties.</p>

3

<p>Agreed. You need a true, 100% shot safety.</p>

4

<p>I would say that you have a great shot at getting into Penn ED, especially since you are legacy. Legacy is a big factor at all of the Ivies. </p>

<p>(I try to air on the side of caution)
Yale: Possible
Harvard: Reach
Georgetown: Possible/Likely
Vanderbilt: Possible</p>

<p>Penn loves ED legacies like a fat kid loves cake! Karl loves unfair advantages of the bourgeoisie! But you have a great chance!</p>
