[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Check out the DMV area admits for Penn. It's almost impossible for unhooked kids. The mid-Atlantic is not a desirable geography for Penn. There are so many smart, accomplished kids that want to go up the road to Penn. There is so much legacy."

This is not true for all schools.  I just looked and my daughter's school has had 11 acceptances out of 50 apps at Penn in the last 3 years.

Despite popular belief this is not a crap shoot.  These schools want to know who the kid is not just scores and numbers.  They want to see that the kid brings "something to the campus" and arent just going to go to school and study.  They want kids who will make the campus a better place.  I dont know why this is so hard to undrstand.[/quote]

So true….
And scores and grades are really only the very first step, and not at all dispositive….
so much more than that.

At our school, there was one candidate who got in his scores and grades were lower than others who applied.

But she had a very unique and compelling interest/EC, story and life trajectory with that story.[/quote]
