<p>Lol, people with 30 kids applying ED to Penn at their schools...there are 3 people applying to Princeton from my STATE. The number of applicants Alabama has to Penn probably equals the number of acceptances to Penn at your school.</p>
<p>Chances: 40 (accepted) / 50 (deferred) / 10 (rejected)</p>
<ol>
<li> My GPA is a 4.355, and I'm taking 5 APs this year alone.</li>
<li> My ECs are a little unusual.</li>
<li><p>I like my essay.</p></li>
<li><p>My SAT isn't as good as it could be (690 V, 740 M, 740 W)</p></li>
<li><p>I don't play ANY sports.</p></li>
<li><p>I didn't like my short answers on the application.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Chances: 5 (accepted)/ 60 (deferred) / 35 (rejected)</p>
<ol>
<li>Good Gpa with over 14 AP classes after graduation (5 on 90% of them, 4 on rest)</li>
<li>Sat-2300</li>
<li><p>Lots of community service</p></li>
<li><p>Not Urm</p></li>
<li><p>White middle class male</p></li>
<li><p>no legacy</p></li>
<li><p>no sports</p></li>
<li><p>No mitigating circumstances to make up for these faults</p></li>
<li><p>Bad short answers</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Whoever is doing the statistics thing: We should have predictions vs. actual to see if every1 is being too optomistic...just like in Vegas, everyone thinks they will win</p>
<p>lol has anyone gone above 50% yet? </p>
<p>Stop with these ridiculous chances people, lol 14 AP classes 2300 with good ECs = 5%</p>
<p>hahahhaa "no mitigating circumstances to make up for..." URM, being white and middle class, and no legacy. Come on people, this is getting a little ridiculous here :) This isn't supposed to be a competition in humility</p>
<p>be positive! woooowoooo ur chances arent 5% thats a bit silly.</p>
<p>By the way, I seriously doubt that the predictions are too OPTIMISTIC... traditionally on CC we have a 50%+ admit rate for ED ;), and most people put themselves down for .0000001%</p>
<p>I think people don't wanna go over 50% because they don't want to seem like they're boasting.</p>
<p>eh.. not at wharton.. wharton ED on CC is only marginally higher than in real life</p>
<p>Yeah, but 5 of the APs I self-study for are jokes like Human Geography...if you take AP World, definatley take Human Geograph...cake walk. And for the 2300 I score very high in two section and got in the very low 700s for the third, so that hurts my chaces. PLus i live in the Philly burbs which destroys all hope of getting in because they HATE Philly burb kids (though my school has a great relationship- we get about 40% in over all) Still, I have no real hooks so I think I'm being practical.</p>
<p>gmman- if I do get in, I'll buy you a cookie at Penn but I don't think I'll have that opprotunity</p>
<p>a cookie?!?</p>
<p>man you're cheap</p>
<p>i'm buying (through a junior or senior intermediary, of course) champagne (pronounced sham-ponn-yuhh) for y'all if i get in.</p>
<p>but i won't. so no worries</p>
<p>it better be dom perignon or moet.. and not that 1 dollar bubbly that uncle joe makes in his basement</p>
<p>really? i'll use the free lan cables they give us and i'll host a lan party... cuz you know i'm a computer geek, but then again, the prospects of my addmittance are as low as the bandwidth on my dad's wireless <em>nerd factor</em></p>
<p>hahaha
i've no freakin clue what that meant, cujoe</p>
<p>deedub man i'm springin' fool</p>
<p>Goodness gracious, I just discovered these forums today and I'm already addicted. Now I better go play around with some Calculus--I can't just count on getting into Penn on Wednesday.</p>
