<p>I personally never believed I could get into an Ivy, but a couple of weeks before the deadlines for Penn and Cornell, I decided to apply. I applied to Penn because I attended one of their receptions in my city and liked what I saw. I applied to Cornell because I really liked their ILR program. Like I said, I applied not thinking I’d have a chance, but I’ve been admitted to Cornell and I’ll be hearing from Penn on Thursday :)</p>
