kingbell (OP): Go to another college and apply for transfer to Penn if you really feel that Penn is the only place you’ll ever be happy. If you stay in HS you will (IMO) tarnish your perceived value to any college (including Penn). You will also never allow yourself to grow to realize that Penn is not the only place you’ll ever be happy. Talk to 99.9% of college students and they will tell you that wherever you go will end up being your home and you will wonder what it was about “that other school” that had such a hold on you. But like I said, if Penn is all you can think about, then go somewhere in Fall 2009, make a big impact, and try to transfer to Penn next year. Keep in touch with Penn admissiosn (transfer rep) throughout the year.

That’s my anonymous web opion, which you should treat like any anonymous web opinion: read it and then do whatever feels right for you.
