Literally just hoping for a deferral at this point haha
i might just not go to school on next thursday (it comes out on thurs for me)
i don’t think ill able to control my facial expression
@IequalSmart I have the same situation with you. I have done a lot of mathematical models, and each of them has a 20+ pages report. I realized I couldn’t submit all of them, even their abstracts. Eventually, my math teacher told me that I could send AOs “Research Details”, just interpreting these models in an easy understanding way. Afterwards, just hoping they would pay attention to that. 
@vaselineeee hahaha same, I’ve decided not to go thursday because I’ll either be too happy or be too sad to go
@vaselineeee I feel ya. Just take an advil and go to school. or…we can both cut and vc!!!
Anyone apply ED to engineering???
@ilovemath1212 DMD Is technically engineering, which is what I applied to, but judging by your username we probably dont have the same interests lmao
@ilovemath1212 - Me! Applied Jerome Fischer M&T with SEAS as a fallback ED option. Honestly just want to get this waiting 
over with. One encouraging thing I just found out was that the lower median test scores & stats reported in the US News Rankings (1463 SAT, 33ACT, 3.9 GPA) reflect last year’s students who actually enrolled. Of course almost every marketing brochure and website highlights the median stats of “admitted” students - which skew the stats higher than their actual student body turns out to be. (No, the average Penn student does NOT have a 1510 SAT.)
Consequently, anyone worried that their SAT or ACT or GPA contains one weaker than average component should probably relax (at least about that) so long as they’re at or above the enrolled student average for everything. If EC’s, Recs & Essays are rock solid, one component lower than the published “admitted” student’s stats is unlikely to rule anyone out. Especially if it’s at (or above) their median enrolled students stats. Hope that makes everyone feel a bit better. (It did for me!)
@FireLordAzula I applied directly to SEAS for mechanical engineering. My SAT is kind of at the lower end, but my math II will hopefully help a bit (780). Just so worried that the standards are much higher for engineering!
I am worried about the same thing too. But what I’m taking from this is that a student’s academic rigor, essays, EC’s and Recs are probably more important than I had realized. Of course test scores that are at or above their median are probably vital for everyone other than recruited athletes and legacy.
Nevertheless, they do reject dozens of valedictorians every year with 1600 SAT scores. So clearly, that’s not all an applicant needs. Because they reject just about everyone from the bottom half of their class with an SAT score below 1300! Wednesday night just can’t get here soon enough.
@ilovemath1212 Right here. Bioengineering. What about you?
@ilovemath1212 I am applying to SEAS, Electrical Engineering. 
Has anyone applied to LSM?
@AnthonyZ @stayfoolish729 mechanical!! Where you guys from?
@ilovemath1212 Pennsylvania! What about you!
@ilovemath1212 Beijing, China. (What an unhook lol)
@kokoro100 If anything, I’d rather get flat out rejected than deferred, lol. Waiting for four grueling months senior year, all for a lower shot than in the ED round isn’t worth my energy or frustration.
@stayfoolish729 I’m from Beijing as well!!! Did anybody else from ur school apply Penn ED?
I applied ED M&T with fallback SEAS (Computer Science)
Y’all not to let my swiftie show but decisions come out on her birthday and if we get in we’re gonna be Penn 22’s…
coincidence? I think not
