<p>Wait till your Jan SAT comes out, and you should have a good chance, if your scores go as predicted.</p>

<p>But one thing, AP/IB Calc but SAT Ma 730? Careless mistakes I persume…</p>

<p>Prrrrobably in. IB Diploma is a rigorous course schedule, your SAT’s look good, and the EC’s are in. You never know though! When the January scores come out there will be more accurate chances. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Keep it up and you’re in Penn (that rhymes!) What other schools have you thought about? It’s best to pick more than one top choice, especially if financial aid is a factor. Have you considered Georgetown? </p>

<p>@ bbbbbbbblove: Calculus is totally different for me…that’s easy and not timed while SAT is :P</p>

<p>@Tennischick08: Thanks! I have my extended essay, TOK presentation, and TOK essay all due this month =P Does the diploma score affect anything at all? I’ll have my diploma by the end of the year.</p>

<p>@ Miss Pickwickian: Was thinking about WUSTL, Duke, Brown, and other similar schools. I really want Penn though for ED. The others would probably be RD.</p>

<p>I’ll post chances in a bit! Thanks!</p>

<p>Anymore suggestions??</p>

<p>Oh, Georgetown good for Pre-med advising? I feel like thats a more poly oriented school?</p>

<p>I definitely think you have like a 90% chance, you’re really solid. Most likely in. :] Your stats are just incredibly high. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back please? I can’t really figure out how to do a link on my post, but my thread is “Chance me at Boston U, UW-Madison, etc? I’ll chance back :]”</p>

<p>Excellent candidate, and great ec’s with grades. I think you are going to make it in, especially applying ED will help you out!!!</p>

<p>Penn- In</p>

<p>Chance me back please:</p>

<p>Sorry guys, I don’t know much about the individual programs at individual schools—all I know is that Penn and Georgetown are similar in spirit, and spirit is important.</p>

<p>we really need to know your sat scores to make any sort of accurate judgement</p>

<p>chance me
