<p>80% acceptance chance, unless your applying to wharton</p>

<p>I'm applying to the College of Arts and Sciences.</p>

<p>And I think you're being much too generous with 80%. I don't think I'm that outstanding. I'd be surprised if I even had a 50% chance at Penn ED.</p>

<p>i'd say 50-60%...i'm applying to penn cas too, and i feel threatened by ur stats...</p>

<p>jk, good luck 2 you</p>

<p>Oh man, thanks -- Good luck!</p>

<p>Bump (10char)</p>

<p>uhhh... reach.</p>

<p>Of course it's a reach -- It's UPenn!
More specific?</p>

<p>Please? (10char)</p>

<p>Your academic index score is around 214. Last year scores of 211 and above were needed for the lower Ivies (UPenn--not counting Wharton, Brown, and Cornell). Your ECs appear quite respectable, though not fabulous.</p>

<p>I rank your chances as follows:</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania - Early Decision--match (very close to 50-50, you are probably around 55% and therefore may get deferred during ED and then accepted during regular admission round)
Georgetown--match
Cornell--same as for UPenn--match
UVA--safe match (in-state), match (out-of-state)
Swarthmore--match to slight reach
Amherst--match to slight reach
Tufts--match
NYU--safe match
George Washington--safety
Lehigh--safe match
Boston U--safe match</p>

<p>I thought my Academic Index was 217?
Meh, either way... Thanks a lot.
If my chances for Penn ED really are around 50/55%, I'd be very happy!</p>
