<p>It may be just me but did any of you fellow Penn hopefuls have dreams (or nightmares :O) about Penn in the past weeks?!?!?</p>
<p>I thought you guys might appreciate this</p>
<p>@kristinabrown1 - it might be cool, but it was just bs filler fluff stuff</p>
<p>Hi guys, I spent lots of time today reading almost all of pages here instead of working on my homework. Everyone’s so nice and has so much love for Penn <3. I’m also an ED applicant. I lost all of my hope since I got my Nov. SAT score (that was my first try :() Anyway, just wanna to let everyone know, the daily penn just updated an article about admissions 
[The</a> Daily Pennsylvanian :: Drop in early apps at Penn, peers may be tied to Harvard and Princeton](<a href=“http://thedp.com/index.php/article/2011/11/drops_in_early_apps_at_penn_peers_may_be_tied_to_harvard_and_princeton]The”>Drop in early apps at Penn, peers may be tied to Harvard and Princeton | The Daily Pennsylvanian)</p>
<p>@kristinabrown1: Really? That’s so cool! Haha I think your small town in Kansas is probably even more isolated than my small town in Cali. lol</p>
<p>I think its great how so many of us are bonding on this ^^
Just imagine when we get inn! We’'ll be taking Penn’s “the most social ivy” status to a whole NEWWW LEVEL :D</p>
<p>Thanks for the insighful article truckn!</p>
<p>Commonapp Long: classic MUN essay :)</p>
<p>short: taekwondo (as relic of my heritage being weaved into a multicolored tapestry)</p>
<p>why penn: “you better know this: I am not just going to throw toasts at them tigers; I will throw burnt, old, fresh, new, jammed, buttered, franklin-engraved, quakers-inscribed toasts! I won’t be satisfied with the conventional; I will bring an era of Toast-throwing creativity at UPenn!” - a part of my essay :D</p>
<p>optional - how I cherish and love my time in buses </p>
<p>huntsman - business and governments - mutual symbiosis. but this mutual symbiosis is parasitic to most.</p>
<p>:D excited to hear all other ones too!! Good luck to all!</p>
<p>koharvard, you are really brave. I don’t have the guts to put that many exclamation marks in a college essay! By the way, I really like the excerpt.
Now I’m wishing I could edit MY essay but WE SHALL SEE WHAT HAPPENS VEEEERY VERY SOON</p>
<p>oh, and the buses idea is really cute 
i wrote about reading and lit and that whole thing… but really struggled with the 150 word limit</p>
<p>I think I am going to stop going on this thread. It’s making me go crazy</p>
<p>Hey guys,
I’ve been lurking this thread for the past couple of days. You guys are making me even more nervous/excited about December 9th! 
I have a feeling I’m going to be deferred–mostly because this will probably make me the most annoyed. I’d rather have my dreams crushed and get it over with than stand to wait another 4 months lol.</p>
<p>@Koharvard: Those essays seem really interesting. They all look really creative, which will definitely help you stand out in the admissions process.</p>
<p>My essay topics:
Common App (long): Overcame an obstacle/experience - there was a fire at my house
Common App (EC): marching band/become drum major
Why Penn: I basically just answered the question–nothing special.
Opt. essay: I had trouble with the word limit so I wrote a sonnet about myself haha. The last two lines:
I trust you may soon see what I can be
So UPenn, Oh, UPenn, please accept me!</p>
<p>^ Pretty lame/corny, I know, but hopefully they’ll think it’s creative or something xD</p>
<p>HI GUYSSS</p>
<p>I’m back mostly because YOUR ENTHUSIASM IS SO CONTAGIOUS and I just decided I’d check the thread and see what’s up since I stopped posting and OMG it feels SO awesome to see all of the passion and LOVE for Penn!!! It’s making me SO insanely delusional and obsessed (just like accordingtome lol) but I think the fact that I couldn’t stay away just speaks for itself. </p>
<p>I feel like the people who applied from my school just did it for the rank and that bugs me so much - do any of you guys have that situation in your school? Like I keep freaking out in school and they’re so like chill! They didn’t even know the date is Dec 9! (we’re SURE it’s Dec 9 right?! OMG 10 DAYSS)</p>
<p>I love the enthusiasm here and I have to say I was NOT expecting that when I started the thread! You guys are awesome, and I swear to God I will not stop crying for hours if I get in. I’ll probably break half the bones in my body from jumping up and down and dancing so much and I bet the next time you see me next year on campus (HOLY I CAN’T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT lkjdaojsioajiodioqjrqiojdoi2u09wiuodjakdjkljjj I SOOOOOOO WANT ITTT!) I’ll probably still have the dorky smile plastered on my face out of sheer joy and disbelief that I got in.</p>
<p>I. want. this. so. bad. it’s. really. not. even. funny.</p>
<p>And now I’m just going to continue this novel-ish post to make up for all the pages of threads I didn’t get the chance to post on :(</p>
<p>Have you guys read The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes? Do you feel that the universe works things out if you just channel positive energy and believe in yourself enough? I hope all of us get in for the amount we care and love Penn and the amount we WANT this. We really deserve to and I hope it’s good news for all of us on that day! </p>
<p>I want to go somewhere where the student body is as excited and happy to be where they are and they’re NOT there just for rank. I really hope we all see each other on campus (I love saying that :P) at this time next yearrrr! :)</p>
<p><end rant=""></end></p>
<p>730 POSTS!</p>
<p>Beat that Harvard EA’ers :P</p>
<p>YAY PENNNN </p>
<p>We totally are the most social Ivy :P</p>
<p>Yeah I just said “we” - I’m going to pretend I’ve already been accepted to Penn for the next 10 days I don’t really care what happens after that. The obsession is worth it for a place like Penn! :)</p>
<p>@aangel42</p>
<p>aw
and yes Ive read the Secret!
SOOO TRUE WE HAVE SO MUCH POSITIVE ENERGY HERE!!!
and I love how everyone genuinely wants everyone to get in :)</p>
<p>also replying to some post way way back
I’ve been having dreams about my penn decision almost every night…
but yes
STAY REAL POSITIVE GUYS!!!glad to be waiting for my decision with you all</p>
<p>@aangel42 - I LOVE YOUR ETHUSIASM AND POSITIVE ENERGY! YOU EXPRESSED ALL MY EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS ABOUT PENN SO ACCURATELY IN YOUR LITTLE RANT. WITH ALL THE EFFUSION OF PASSION AND LOVE ON THIS THREAD, WE REALLY WOULD FIT RIGHT IN AT PENN!! AND REMEMBER CC’S PENN ED ACCEPTANCE RATE LAST YEAR WAS AROUND 60% WHICH WAS OFF THE ROOF!!! SO STAY OPTIMISTIC GUYS</p>
<p>@onlypenn18 - No. I went to a Chinese restaurant in the Atlanta area, which doesn’t even have a proper Chinatown. Philly’s one is amazing though!!! I guess luck will decide whether I can visit there again in the future ;)</p>
<p>i cant take this lol…this freakin website is making it that much harder to think about getting denied…i am addicted to cc’s Penn forum…i cant believe how much i want Penn…i tell myself all the time that i will be happy anywhere…and i know i will…but it will hurt sooooooo bad on November 9th when this might be done. lol i always think “it’s just one student, just let me in its okay, i dont take much room”…we will see</p>
<p>What if the admissions committee came on this thread and said due to the commitment of the students on this thread we have chosen to admit everyone posting here.</p>
<p>i would be the happiest person in the world lol…that would be legit…lol someone should “accidentally” send a link to this forum</p>
<p>yeah i know, this passion is no act. it’s real <3</p>
<p>Just one problem: they wouldn’t know who we really are.</p>
