<p>Hey guys, it seems as if every hour I switch between being 100% sure of getting in to 100% sure of getting denied. I have no idea what to expect since the results from earlier years didn't really show any clues as to what Penn really looks for. What do you guys think I should expect on Monday? Please be honest, I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.</p>
