Hi, I am en route to beginning my junior year in high school (Class of 2014), and am requesting preemptive chancing to:
Penn (Early Decision)
Columbia

I will be applying early for Penn during the summer before my senior year, going into the CAS to major in English. I will apply to the other schools through regular decision, majoring in English regardless of the school in question. Here is my information, some of which will be hypothetical goals:

Thank you!
