<p>WOW you are like my clone
Also a Patel LOL,
applying PENN ED CAS
2200 SAT
similar SAT II
Aps: 5 on Engl and Comp also, 4 on chem
Similar EC’s,I also got an injury for xc (sophmore year)
This is CRAZY, they would proabaly compare us and it would come down to the essay,
Goodluck though!</p>

<p>actually you ahve better SAT II’s, but my EC’s definately own</p>

3

<p>haha thats hilarious, good luck to you too man</p>

4

<p>^ lol i’m also indian (i’m a kumar, tho) and have the same sat score! my other stats are a bit different, tho.
good luck, guys!</p>

5

<p>haha thanks =]
ur CAS as well?</p>

6

<p>hahahah wow i remember seeing some your posts sfdesigirl, ugh i HATE indian people haha</p>

<p>Im all science (BBB, pre-med), what are you guys majoring in?</p>

7

<p>same BBB, pre-med…i mentioned a minor through BBB-HCM in wharton in my essay that im interested in</p>

8

<p>^SAME wow…</p>

9

<p>Im indian too! we are just gonna take over Penn haha. though im applying into the PPE major. i have slightly different interests =)</p>

10

<p>Can we just make an “Official Indian Penn Thread”? i’m sure more people will show up</p>

11

<p>this thread sadly turned into one lol, i got chanced 0 times</p>

12

<p>haha thats what happened when i posted my chance. you have a good shot. though the ec’s are where you are lacking because they dont show much specific interest and you dont have many things for four years. but overall you definitely have a shot</p>

13

<p>I don’t see you getting in here. Your SAT scores are pretty bad except for math. I know they say writing doesn’t matter, but you need to know how to write. And your score does not show that. Everyone takes English composition as an easy AP so don’t even count that. Your ECs are pretty good. Your essay better be amazing if you want to even be considered.</p>

14

<p>^I strongly disagree with the English Comp comment, i know some really good writers who couldn’t earn a 5 on the exam, it was actually known to be one of the hardest in my schol, mainly because of the harsh teacher but still, don’t belittle it.</p>

<p>I also disagree about the Ec’s. theres no research, summer programs, physician shadowing, career-oriented clubs etc.</p>

<p>SAT scores are perfect, theres obviously more weight for CR + M, bad news for me lol, but its true. SAT II’s are also solid</p>

<p>lol i’m sorry i should have chanced alot earlier instead of getting carried off…</p>

15

<p>haha its all good, thanks for your reply caligirl. i worked my butt off for the essay so hopefully it shows</p>
