<p>:) Impressive record. Are canadians allowed to do USAMO?</p>

3

<p>^
yes, if you are good enough (not me)</p>

4

<p>out of curiosity did anyone catch his/her allusion in the title?</p>

5

<p>@nemoslolita: I did. Noodle people Code Geass!</p>

<p>@Paragon: I think you have a good chance. Everything looks solid to me.</p>

6

<p>i was hoping for a latin I reference (perhaps too late at night warped brain) but code geass is good too.
And paragon your stats I echo quite substantial, don’t worry.</p>

7

<p>maybe im sounding a bit too cocky but why is that everyone’s saying i’m fine then i got rejected by UPenn SEAS ED???</p>

8

<p>That is very strange, with your stats as is you should have gotten in…there has to be something up in your app that sent a flag then. Maybe it’s your essay?</p>

9

<p>ya i don’t actually know, my teachers read them and they said they were very unique and captivating, so it shouldn’t be that. the only possible reason i could come up with is that my SAT score is too low lol :)</p>

10

<p>@paragon: Hmm, I don’t think that’s it…I got into Penn SEAS with an SAT score pretty similar to yours, a 2190. From looking at the decisions thread it seems like once you’re past a certain SAT threshold, it comes down to more personal stuff like ECs, essays, recs…well, I don’t see anything that would like, bar you from admission to Penn, just keep positive. Good luck with all the other schools you’re applying to!</p>
