Did I shoot too low?

OP, I agree with post #13. It’s natural to wonder and completely normal to have moments of second-guessing after you’ve received the “stamp of approval”/acceptance from a school as great as Penn.

Hopefully the advice on this thread will be useful for posters in the future as well as to you personally.

Be aware that you might have some pangs when huge numbers of your friends and classmates hear back from lots of schools at the end of this month. Their news will be new and exciting for them and everyone else, and by then you will have known your fantastic news for almost 4 months so t won’t seem as thrilling.

My advice is to focus on all the well-thought out reasons why you chose Penn for your ED application and be thankful that your wait for your acceptance was so much shorter than other people’s were.

Congrats and best of luck in the fall!
