Do you regret applying ED to Penn and not EA to some other places and RD to Penn? So that you will have more choices? I believe from what i saw here, you have a decent shot at getting accepted into a lot of places, even HYP.

Very good essays, btw. That Penn professor short question should be like the model essay for all future Penn applicants If i were an admission officer i'd admit you right off the bat after reading that.

haha yeah in truth i dont think i could have gotten into penn RD since there are so many more factors and its just plain harder. also i was going to app ED elsewhere but i realized that i fit in best at penn. i dont think i could have gotten into dart or columbia nonetheless HYP since i just didnt "fit" there

You are a profound thinker - it's visible through your writing. Great job.

TBH, I personally did not like your CommonApp essay (doesn't matter, you got in anyway ). I've always felt an essay saying "I can't think of anything" was trite. All of your other essays are absolutely incredible though. I love the professor one too. Your writing really gleams...

Congratulations! Would you mind reading my CommonApp essay? I mean, I've already applied and everything... I'm just curious as to what you'd say.
