[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I both graduated from Penn, our older kid (hs class 2023) had a 4.75 gpa in mcps, 1590 SAT, 15 APs of all 5s with a few 4s, top rigor incl APs in all 5 core subjects and math thru MV calc, was captain of varsity sports team along with other ECs, strong writer, I believe strong recs, and was not accepted (applied ED). Other equally qualified kids his year had same results, only kid accepted was an ED app and had a hook. We won’t even have younger sib apply. [/quote] Strong: Number of APs and mostly 5s SAT Legacy Neutral (assume most have this) Good writer Letters of rec Not: -MV math is good but not what I wld think is ivy great (lots of kids have a year beyond that) - captain of a varsity sports is meaningless (over saturated) - legacy - counterintuitive but: http://www.thedp.com/article/2023/03/penn-legacy-admissions-policy-changes-university [/quote]
