<p>I stand corrected ._.</p>
<p>Although I do recall reading that …</p>
<p>Well, 50% chance of being rejected is better than 88% chance of being rejected for RD applicants.</p>
<p>To me, being deferred or rejected - I’d be unhappy either way</p>
<p>Sorry to be a kill joy, but only 11% of deferred applicants get in… ouch.</p>
<p>Guys, let’s not revert back to the typical ivy league discussion mode. Penn hopefuls are better than that.</p>
<p>YEAH, SWEETCOOKIE. Bring us back to our senses.
What are you favorite books?</p>
<p>I’m debating whether or not to apply to the UC schools if I don’t get into Penn. I don’t like Berkeley, and LA doesn’t have a business school. The other UCs are just ehhh, especially for business. Plus it’s two more essays to write and it’s due in like 3 days. Hmmm</p>
<p>TWILIGHT. 'nuf said.</p>
<p>just joking. But really, I’m not a tough reader. I enjoy books written to satisfy the masses’ imagination. I do like Jane Austen novels - Emma, Pride and Prejudice, etc. Books I read in class that I’ve enjoyed? The Kite Runner</p>
<p>Favorite book, without a doubt, is 1984. Orwell is incredibly insightful and foresightful – truly brilliant.</p>
<p>We’re losing our momentum, guys 
And I LOVED 1984.</p>
<p>So I went to work for 4.5 hours…and I come back and find 7 additional pages of comments and warmth. Everyone here ROCKS, by the way. :)</p>
<p>Have any of you read The Overachievers by Alexandra Robbins? It’s easily my favorite novel. The title gives away its focus; a focus which probably applies to all of us (haha), and, if you are somewhat emotional when reading (ex. me), you’ll probably love it—its pathos appeal is incredibly strong (AP Lang & Comp, anyone? 
). </p>
<p>@sweetcookie: I LOVE Pride and Prejudice. Never got a chance to read any of Austin’s other works. </p>
<p>Also, favorite DVD, anyone? For me, it’d definitely have to be The Blind Side. 2 hours and 8 minutes of pure gold.</p>
<p>I am absolutely enamored with “A Beautiful Mind.”</p>
<p>I feel left out. I’ve never read 1984. Then again, I’m really not much of a reader.
Never watched the Blind Side either…I was too caught up with New Moon at that time to care about the other competing movies. My bad</p>
<p>I almost never read, to be honest. I never found time.</p>
<p>I don’t watch TV or movies really either. I listen to music, play music, swim, and do homework. I sleep sometimes too, but not really.</p>
<p><em>gasp</em> not much sleep? Confession here: I have never ever pulled an all-nighter for school before. I value my sleep too much.</p>
<p>WHAT?!</p>
<p>Average # of hours of sleep a week for me: 20. I have swim practice doubles thrice a week though, so I have to wake up early for those too.</p>
<p>(It’s funny because I literally spend more time swimming in a week than I do sleeping. Probably explains why I’m only 5’8")</p>
<p>Oh poor you laodicean
I guess that’s why your ec’s are a heck of a lot better than mine. We just have different priorities. =]</p>
<p>I have to go to bed at 9-10. I LOVE SLEEP.</p>
<p>Haha it wasn’t supposed to be pathos!
I’m not complaining about it, but I would love some more sleep here and there :)</p>
<p>From reading the last 10 pages of comments, I think Penn will have an awesome class next year! </p>
<p>Also, sleep>>school. Except for the sunday night after a long thanksgiving break…
Despite was CB says, AP actually stands for Advanced Procrastination.</p>
