<p>Yaaa I’m applying to the AEM program. Also, emory, NYU, and stanford</p>
<p>In the past two decades, only one person has gotten into Stanford from my school. She was also the only person in that long to get into Harvard, Princeton, and MIT.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I have no shot there … only applying for sh**s and giggles. :)</p>
<p>@xAlex452 I have a killer killer essay for economics as my secondary choice… But I have no idea where to start with the AEM essay… It is killing me</p>
<p>Hey guys I’m back from an intense morning of yoga! I really needed some stress relieving.</p>
<p>My class’s not necessarily ivy material. Last year’s val got into every ivy he applied to and is attending Harvard now. His cousin from two years ago is going to Wharton, but his best friend got wait-listed at Penn. Basically, ending up somewhere more higher ranked than Chapel Hill is an impressive accomplishment for the top kids in my class.</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill is an awesome school though…</p>
<p>But Duke is better :)</p>
<p>LOL. almost all the kids from my class diss on duke. they’re just jealous that they probably can’t even get into duke even if they wanted to.</p>
<p>Duke is pretty hated everywhere…mostly because everyone that goes there is white and rich.</p>
<p>Those things shouldn’t bar you from trying to obtain a world class education.</p>
<p>Obviously, but people hate the image that has come to be associated with Duke, just like I hate the image that is associated with Harvard.</p>
<p>I love the image that is associated with Penn.</p>
<p>Agreed :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m in a similar situation. In the past 4 years at my school, there has been only one ivy acceptance and it was to Brown. 20% of the kids at my school go into the workforce, 40% go to community college, and around 20% go to any of the four UMass schools…</p>
<p>I think your situation is better than competing with 20 other kids from the same high school for Penn.</p>
<p>Last year, I think there were about 10+ Ivy League acceptances. Almost everyone at my school goes on to college.</p>
<p>
When I first read this, I understood you to be referring to your yoga class and thought, “wow, she really is competitive.” :)</p>
<p>hahaha i’d fail ap yoga if there were such a class</p>
<p>My school I think 100% go on to college… We sent 3 to Penn last year but only 1 has ever gone to Wharton… I am pretty sure and she was African-American</p>
<p>5 applied ED from my school this year, including me </p>
<p>we’ve had at least one get into Penn each year and it has usually been ED
but my high school is pretty ridiculous…last year like 5 people got into Brown…3 to princeton…1 to Harvard (obviously)…3 to Cornell…2 to Duke…1 to Stanford…2 to Yale</p>
<p>but then again only about 94% go on to 4 year colleges. My school’s weird.</p>
<p>So, the pressure’s definitely on!</p>
<p>^^ no one else from my school applied to Penn early this year</p>
<p>Lucckkkyy!!!^^^^</p>
