The worse thing is the stuck up kids; not diverse enough (too many white, wealthy kids); too much of a bureacracy at Penn.
Best thing..I won't be there
someone needs to ban dulce from this board...ive heard of civil dissent...but he goes out of his way to spew negativity about Penn which isn't even necessarily (comparatively) true based solely on his rejection. Read the parable about the fox and the grapes he couldn't reach and so called sour...dulce is the main character
I chose to go to penn after my ED acceptance. The best parts are its strenght in all subjects i am interested in, research oppertunities, ability to apply for the law school after 3 years, and ablility to minor in engineering and business, which all help me as an undecided person. The negatives would be location in Philly. As an Ivy/top private college, it will have lots of rich stuckup white kids, but I plan to be rich, so might as well get used to those types of people.
Um dulce de leche, aren't you the one who said that you probably had no chance, since some other top legacies/URMs/valedictorian at your school was applying? And your GPA was pretty low too...
"Dulce..3.7 GPA (uw); 2160 SAT; 760 SAT II average; 6 AP's; legacy; Suberb recs:ACCEPTED (worse case scenario: deferred and then accepted in RD round: Also- URM"---Dulce's prediction for his ED decision, 12-04-06, Prediction Thread
"I plan to hit the Penn book store and buy an entire wardrobe of Penn shirts and pants!"--12-9-06, What are your plans for 12/15 if you're accepted?
"I want to buy the "Puck Frinceton" shirt because I HATE Princeton. I don't think they sell it in the bookstore. Anyone know where I can get it?"--12-7-06, Penn Gear
"I want to buy the "PUCK FENN" SHIRT that PRinceton Univ. sells. Can I buy it online and have it shipped?
Penn admissions committee needs to have their heads examined. They deferred me..."- After he didnt get in, 12-17-06, The Shirt I've Been Looking For

VE sculpture was awesome. i also liked the 24-7 prayer tent...i thought it was cute. and i also saw a guy who was sleeping in the middle of a courtward, which was pretty cool, because no one was bothering him or staring or anything :]
a lot of the little things about penn really seemed to make the difference.
oh, and i can also sub matriculate in vet school in my senior year :]
