<p>So I got rejected ED to Penn CAS .. and now I have to decide if I should apply to other ivies?</p>
<p>Should I apply to Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, etc. , even though I got rejected ED to Penn?</p>
<p>Im thinking that I got rejected EARLY DECISION to Penn, so it can't even be possible for me to get in any other ivy in regular decision..</p>
<p>If i cant get in with EARLY DECISION, how am i suppose to get in REGULAR?</p>
<p>Actsat, as long as you have some schools in place that are certain to accept you and that you can afford, you might as well play the lottery. Bear in mind that Penn, in particular, has a lot of legacies in their ED pool as they make it clear that ONLY in the ED pool does the legacy card have any weight. Athletes also tend to make up a lot of the ED pool. So you are now in there with the rest of the crowd for the RD schools, and you might as well give it a go, as you do have to “play” to even have a chance. I can tell you exactly what your chances are of getting accepted to B,C, D if you don’t apply. </p>
<p>Bear in mind that these schools are considered lottery tickets for a reason.</p>
