[quote=Anonymous]Mid 1990s 
Private, girls school (Preppy handbook school) 
GPA wasnt calculated but a mix of As and Bs in honors classes (grades got better as I went along - freshman year was Bs) 
PSAT: National merit commended student 
SAT: 1430 (M: 740, V: 690) This was an old, old SAT, score = 99th percentile 
APs: 1 junior year (score = 4), 3 senior (score =4, 4, 5)

ECs: 3 seasons sports but not college level athlete (field hockey, swimming, softball), editor of school publication. Also had a 15 hour a week retail job through junior and senior year in high school. (No reason except my mother encouraged me to have something to do sophomore summer once I'd aged out of camp and I liked the $$).

Legacy at Penn

Early:deferred from Penn; Regular: Penn, Colby and Trinity (CT), admitted all 3. 
Attended Penn

I would not have gotten in to Penn today with my grades as a run of the mill legacy w/o any hooks.  I still laugh when I think that I only applied to 2 other colleges. I didnt visit either campus just went to info-sessions and liked the presentation + they were popular at my school.
