I think Penn will also considers class ranking and your essay/interview into a microscope. At this level, it's the little things that make or break you.

By the by, if you would like a challenge, try out Beethoven's Piano Sonata no.14 third movement. I think Beethoven had to had three hands to play it, but good luck!
