Rejected from UPenn ED last night. Do I have a chance?

Hi, this is Jenna from Prompt! It looks like your test scores, grades, and extracurriculars seem great, but you didn’t mention your essays – what were they about? Tens of thousands of students are applying to schools like UPenn with similar numbers, so essays then become really important to help you stand out. Essays can help elevate your application even if you’re worried about things like your GPA. Your essays are a chance to prove that you’d be a good fit for the school, and to show off your creative thinking in a way that your overall resume doesn’t. If you work on your essays between now and the regular decision deadlines, you have a better chance to get into some of your reach schools!
