<p>Hey,</p>

<p>What’s everyone’s academic index? You can figure it out at the following website. It’s apparantly very important to Penn.</p>

<p>Here’s a quote from “High Drama in the <upenn> Office of Admissions”</upenn></p>

<p><“This kid sort of has it all,” Jackson enthuses, pressing the sale. “Academic success with some unusual twists. I liked the Shakespearian actor and school leader part.” Stetson: “Yes. Looks very strong. And he’s done things outside of the classroom. That’s the reason he’s rated a 6 [on 1 to 9 scale, 9 the top] in nonscholastic activities. We don’t see many 7s on anything.” Schindler: “Is it a big group coming from this school?” Jackson: I have five or six earlies this year and they’re all very strong." Stetson: “Let’s grab him.” Status: Admitted.></p>

<p>I had a 4 by the way...which sounds bad, but atleasts it's in the "competitive" range.</p>

3

<p>i have a 6/7 with rank... i have an 8 on gpa</p>

4

<p>5/6 with rank.</p>

5

<p>9 if you count my 800 writing as a SAT II. 8 if you count my 670 Math IC as a SAT II.</p>

6

<p>mine is super low b/c of a small class and it varies from 2-6 depending, i don't find this too credible</p>

7

<p>229/240 - 8/9</p>

<p>but I mgiht up my verbal from 690 to 7 something so that'll make it a 9/9</p>

8

<p>7 w/ a 222</p>

9

<p>9 with a 231 with unweighted GPA (school doesnt rank)</p>

10

<p>i got a 6, but i go to a really competitive highschool (eg no one has a 4.0 and there are no APs) so it probably is higher</p>

11

<p>Your Academic Index: 232
AI Rank: 9 out of 9</p>

12

<p>this is really dumb</p>

13

<p>agreed....</p>

14

<p>that article disturbed me...</p>

<p>one person was accepted in less than 2 minutes...</p>

<p>another one rejected in only 9 seconds over 2 minutes =O</p>

<p>(i know that the regional reps spend 30 minutes on each app beforehand, but still)</p>

15

<p>8/9 with rank and 9/9 with GPA</p>

16

<p>our school doesn't rank and we don't have gpa's. bah! but putting in top 10%, i got a 5.</p>

17

<p>6/9 this sucks.. I hate AI</p>

18

<p>Egad...now I'm starting to feel bad about my 4. I hope I get a 9 for out of school activities.</p>

19

<p>this thing sucks cause with GPA ( my school doesnt rank but my counselor says Im 2/100 right now) it says my AI is 8/9....I dont trust this thing</p>

20

<p>Yeah, same... I have like 6/9 with rank and 9/9 with GPA, and my GPA isn't even that great</p>
