<p>This year, 26% of Penn’s ED applicants were accepted. I would know, I was one of them. If you can pull off great essays, maybe more leadership positions, and solid letters of rec, you have a great chance. You have the toughest demographic, but aim for what you want, not what seems “easiest.” It is one thing to get into a school, it is another to stay in it, succeed, and be happy. Best luck!</p>
