<p>If you are applying to Penn and are a legacy, beware. I am a Penn grad as is my DH and numerous other friends. Many legacies and high schools which previously sent students to Penn were frozen out this year ED. Be prepared and apply to a wide range of schools. Word is out that the new Penn President is looking to increase the number of overseas students, bring in new sources of monies, and foreign sources of $$$$$ for Penn’s endowment. That coupled with an all time high number of apps means that some students who would’ve been accepted in past years will not get into Penn.</p>
