and do u guys ever fb stalk ur friends at penn cause ik a few people there rn and i obsessively stalk their social media not gonna lie</p>
<p>@Doisko do you think one college counts for more than the other? My brother’s at Wharton</p>
<p>My newsfeed has been very depressing. Only 1 person from my school has been accepted anywhere so far. And in my general area there’s been like only 1 from each school. It’s quite depressing. Rejections galore.</p>
<p>@loljk1123 I KEEP STALKING PENN KIDS.</p>
<p>It’s horrible. i feel like i’ll have to unfriend them to avoid the pain of looking at their photos after I don’t get in.</p>
<p>My family is more freaked out than I am. I hate it!! I also have that pukey feeling. I hate that they play music online once you get in :(</p>
<p>@loljk1123 Ha Penn Confessions! just kidding… and @kertaos I don’t know about that, but it would seem logical only if you’re applying to the same college</p>
<p>all my penn friends are so cool and smart and i’m just like wow can i pls be u pls PLSSS like one of them is visual arts pre-med like ***? thats awesome? ur majoring in art which is fun and cool and ur gonna get into a sickkk med school and make bank wow the american dream.</p>
<p>The majority of the kids in my school are content with going to the community college or state school… Last year the only two people who got into ivies were recruited athletes. :/</p>
<p>I’m not applying early (and this is the only thread people applying to Penn check), but I wanted to see what people thought of my chances at Penn. I think I don’t have enough EC’s, but I wanted to test the waters.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.85/4
ACT: 33
SAT: didn’t send
AP’s: AP US (4), AP Psych, AP Micro, AP Macro, AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>EC’s: Table Tennis League (Nationally rated table tennis player, member of USATT, played in multiple USATT sanctioned tournaments, youngest person in league, played since 8th grade, hoping this is unique enough to stand out since most people only view table tennis as a hobby), Sports Management Class with local soccer team (learned inner workings of sports teams, 4 month long class), Youth Group with church for a year, Confirmation class with church (to prepare for my Confirmation), a few summer camps (I’m worried I stretched some of the EC’s and I don’t really have any that stand out).</p>
<p>Work: I have been a cashier at Wegmans (grocery store) since after freshman year, and I’m in my 3rd year working there</p>
<p>Community Service: Participated in Relay For Life for 3 years</p>
<p>I’m worried that I don’t have enough EC’s to stand out among the other applicants, but I’d like to see what everyone else thinks. Thanks!</p>
<p>So a few pages back someone mentioned being desperate enough to refer to their horoscopes for reassurance on their fate tomorrow 
I’m somewhat ashamed to say that I just did the same, even though I know well that horoscopes are complete BS. Must say though, at least the prediction for tomorrow didn’t make me feel any worse. Here it is, taken from the horoscopes.com website for the “career” category: “You are like the mighty King or Queen sitting on the great thrown of power. Hold your chest high and speak with confidence. Your wish will come true so go ahead and make your command. You are the master of your kingdom at this time. Have fun.”</p>
<p>Boy if I get into Penn tomorrow I swear, I’m gonna check my horoscopes nonstop.</p>
<p>does anyone want to do something fun?</p>
<p>i will ___ if I get into penn.</p>
<p>i’ll start it off:</p>
<p>I will shave my head if I get into penn.</p>
<p>My biggest worry right now is that the amount of applicants have reached an all time high for Penn this year</p>
<p>Well, gpa and test scores are up there, if not perfect. shouldn’t be the thing to keep you out at least. Yeah, I’m in the same boat, don’t have too many EC’s, but i guess it all depends. Do you have any hooks, any awards, anything major you didnt mention?</p>
<p>I will eat a huge burrito from Chipotle and then probably puke from utter excitement if I get into penn</p>
<p>I will drown in tears of happiness before I reach Philadelphia if I get into penn</p>
<p>I think it’s really funny - and kinda sad - how our families and friends have so much confidence in our chances at Penn, but at the end of it all so many of us are going to get rejected or deferred - I’m confident that I’ll one of those. I don’t know, I guess this false hope is really more painful than anything else.</p>
<p>@Tarheel714 I forgot to mention NHS, and some chemistry award I won sophomore year, and I’m in the National Business Honor Society. I have college credit I could mention, but I don’t think it carries over to Ivy League schools so it doesn’t matter (dang I just checked and I forgot to include the NBHS in the CommonApp so don’t count that)</p>
<p>I will probably treat my parents out for dinner downtown if I get into penn to thank them.</p>
<p>I will check how much financial aid I’m getting if I get into Penn. If it’s good then I’ll scream and jump around. If it’s bad then I’ll say damn.</p>
<p>I will go to Penn if i get into Penn. Too serious im sorry. I’ll eat my broccoli if i get into penn</p>
<p>I’ll be at school due to a band concert when I find out if I got into Penn.</p>
<p>Thus, I will probably do a lot of yelling and fist pumping and running around and generally looking like a fool of myself if I get into Penn.</p>
