Can I get in?

I wasn’t be a jerk at all. Just calling it like I see it. There are kids who work for years to get in, and have to get in on their own merit. Then there are kids like you who want to go for “hot guys” and because you think you can party there. If those are really your stats and you have no more EC’s, it just shows that Yale bows down to their alumni, and that makes their education worth much less in my mind.

You didn’t mention one thing about Penn’s academics on why you want to go. If you want hot guys and partying, apply to your local state school. I can almost guarantee you there will be much more of both there. At a school like Penn, you should be going for academics.

This may sound mean, but it’s true. Someone who really deserves it should get it way before you, someone who wants to go to a school because of its name, and plans on getting in not through her own merit, but through her “hot-shot” dad. Unfortunately, as Yale showed us, it doesn’t always go like this. Hopefully Penn sees right through this.
