<p>the fact that i didn’t get into gov’s school acceptance rate 24% in part implies i won’t get into penn acceptance rate 21%… sorry, just ranting, kinda ****ed :(</p>
<p>Nope. Don't use that kind of reasoning, it only made me depressed, and in the end I got into Penn.<br>
Ponder on this: I got rejected from Georgetown, waitlisted at duke, dartmouth, and brown, and I got into Penn at the end of the day. Colleges look for different things. Some will want you, some won't. Looking at percentages like that do not mean anything, trust me.</p>
<p>that's reassuring, but i was just competing with kids from jersey... it just seems odd...</p>
<p>I didn't make governor's honor program either, if that's of any reassurance. And I live in GA (much less competitive).</p>
