If your child is in the running for Penn, they should have some good admissions even if they have bad luck with that one school. Maybe it will be Cornell or Amherst or Northwestern or CalTech - but your kids are destined to great things.
That last line was such a kind comment I had to quote to say thank you. Tensions are high over here and you injected some humanity. Much appreciated.

Legacy that’s also a very strong student goes a long way towards getting admitted at Penn in ED

Not minimizing. Many legacy kids with stronger stats and amazing EC were deferred and rejected from my kid's school. Not negating legacy boost but need something beyond that and beyond raw stats. Just my observation...
Yep. I know double legacy kid from Big 3 who was rejected yesterday.

That use to be the case, but Penn has retracted the language that said that.
