<p>jesus how do you find time to breathe.</p>

<p>i’m sure you have a good chance at both schools. i don’t get why penn didn’t accept you, or at least defer you if they had so many qualified candidates and whatnot. if you don’t get in those schools, it’s not something you could have changed; it’s just a matter of year-to-year college-by-college discretion in admitting certain students.</p>

<p>^ ah thanks:) I guess the competition at Penn was mighty stiff this year. oh well lol</p>
