<p>You are doing just fine. Don’t try to work specifically to get into a specific school. It rarely works out for people. I see your love for Penn, but do not be unwilling to go somewhere else. I wanted to go to Brown or Yale, but I ended up getting into Penn this year. I am more than thrilled now about it, but you can imagine what letdown I felt when the decisions came.</p>
