<p>bump: one last time</p>

<p>How did you get so motivated? My kid is vegging in front of the Internet every minute on fanfiction.com re-writing the endings of her favorite fantasy stories. She only took SAT I and got 800 reading, 700 math,670 writing, but she doesn’t have your extracurriculars or anything else. Oh, yeah, she did play her clarinet for 2 years at Life Teen mass, but that was about it, a few things in middle school, but not much else in high school so far (she’s in 11th grade).</p>

<p>I don’t know how I can turn my kid into a go-getter like you. She has to want it and she won’t look up fromthe computer screen! How did your parents do it?</p>

<p>Your profile looks like a shoo-in for any school, maybe I’m missing something here.</p>

8

<p>Princeton is definitely a reach, but maybe.</p>

9

<p>I’d say you can make it into all of them. It would probably help if you had more of a hook for Princeton, but otherwise I think you have an OK chance there.</p>

10

<p>Thanks: In addition, how much harder is Princeton than Penn, if at all.</p>

<p>^
Because everyone always acts like, in terms of admissions, Penn is a step below Princeton and HYP, but it looks like their RD acceptance rates are the same…so is it really easier?</p>

12

<p>differences(slight) in applicant pool.</p>

13

<p>which means?</p>

14

<p>^
Sooo how do Penn and Princeton (and JHU) really compare?</p>

15

<p>i got in ED to penn with 2230 4.0 GPA 4.72 WGPA well-rounded ECs great essays/recs</p>

<p>princetons a reach, especially for someone who looks as good on paper as you, cause youre going to get compared to all the other “perfect kids”</p>

<p>penn, honestly, is insane RD.</p>

<p>by the way, where do you go to high school im from MD too, i go to Walt Whitman</p>

16

<p>I am from the other side of the bay…and go to a small school.</p>

<p>I was afraid that Penn would be really hard RD, and at the time I wasn’t sure were I wanted to go, but now I think I should of applied ED to increase my chances because all three are so hard RD.</p>

<p>Do you, or anyone, know about admissions to Penn SEAS, specifically? Because I have a hard time distinguishing SEAS admissions from Penn (with Wharton) admissions.</p>

17

<p>No, sorry, I don’t know much about the difference with admissions to SEAS. Lots of kids from my school apply RD to HYP and penn, and if they get rejected from HYP they assume they will get into penn. but RD to penn is shockingly competitive, about the same as HYP as far as i know. Not trying to scare you though. But it sucks you didn’t do ED you would have had a great shot.</p>

18

<p>Ok, so I guess it is safe to assume that both Penn and Princeton are reaches…</p>

<p>What about JHU, which I would be equally happy to go to?</p>
