<p>thanks for the input</p>

<p>anyone? I need to know if I have a legitimate chance, this is my dream school </p>

<p>Also, I know some Penn alumni who may be able to write a reccommendation for me..........good idea?</p>

<p>i went to NYLF....it was so much fun. Yea i think u have a chance tho</p>

<p>and also most likely to succeed from 8th grade class is nothing. The only things that really count are high school related. It makes it look like u dont have much to offer so u put that in there</p>

<p>HAHAHAHAHAAHA, thats funny.</p>

<p>my counsler was like " put all the awards and ec's into a portfolio."</p>

<p>Should have added that i also mow lawns.</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinons.</p>

<p>Penn - Reach</p>

<p>yeah, I only did one freshman, 3 sophmore, and am doing one now, w/ 3 aps.</p>

<p>Freshman year i wasnt really trying, but have improved substantially every subsequent year</p>

<p>Reach; your grades/ECs aren't stellar (U Penn-wise) and there's no crazy hook.</p>
