<p>I am applying early and am a double legacy which is the only reason I think I have a chance. I also have a guy on the board writing a recommendation for me. What do you think my chances are? Thanks a lot</p>
<p>What school are you applying to?</p>
<p>And what extracurrics do you have?</p>
<p>the college and some of my extra curriculars are captain of the varsity tennis team all 4 years, all league, national honor society, tutoring program at school, peer leader for the freshmen(highly selective program), and im a tv show every few weeks discussing politics</p>
<p>go for it</p>
<p>I think you're fine for the college.</p>
<p>your ranks a bit low..but the double legacy and recc are pretty big...id say you have at least a decent shot</p>
<p>rank could be deadly but that double legacy may very well balance it out.</p>
<p>the legacy will get you in.</p>
<p>Legacy is not an automatic thing - even ED over 50% do not get in. I think the guy has a good chance, but no guarantees. I would say that it might come down to who else is applying ED from his school, and the school's past track record with Penn.</p>
<p>What if a school doesn't have a track record; is that good or bad?</p>
<p>robertson06 - a track record with Penn is always a good thing, because it means that they like the curriculum and the kids they are getting from there. But no track record is not necessarily the kiss of death, either - your stats and application can speak for themselves, too.</p>
<p>well, i don't know if my stats will speak the right language for my school. I think that there has been at least 20 years since someone from here got into the IVY League. Wish me luck though</p>
