<p>@samonuh…lol you got banned from cc?</p>
<p>@free2rhyme i’m not. i want to get in so badly. i just cannot stand another day of not knowing.</p>
<p>@acceptmealready, ok I really don’t want to be a bully and put you down, but you should realize that you have a 74% chance of being rejected/deferred. So even if you really want to get in, Penn might not want you. Just be prepared for that option.</p>
<p>On a more positive note, based on aangel’s list of people on CC applying to Penn, we would make up atleast 1/20 of the ED accepted pool, if we were all accepted. </p>
<p>And guys, step it up, I know I said that I could take us to 170 and I will. But it would help if you guys posted more too.</p>
<p>free2rhyme…it seems as if your personality has completely changed…i dont disagree… but you sound so upset…just smile until friday…while there is still hope :-)</p>
<p>ps i wasnt on that list i am applying to CAS</p>
<p>The college application process has made me feel more vulnerable and weak than ever. I don’t like it.</p>
<p>@kristinabrown1, I guess I am not really upset, but more nervous and anxious. I mentioned before that I would not be here for the countdown and I know if I don’t like the countdown I can leave, but this thread is pretty addicting.</p>
<p>What I like about this thread is that we can just goof around and chill. The countdown is just making me more nervous. Thats all. </p>
<p>Out of curiosity, Kristina, how did my personality change?</p>
<p>If I get accepted, I will post “University of Pennsylvania Class of 2016!” on facebook.
If I get deferred, I don’t know what to do…(anyone help me…)
If I get rejected, I will watch some funny shows. Just try to be distracted!!!</p>
<p>Right on, zhsh2009, here is man/woman with a plan. I am going to do the same thing if I am rejected too.</p>
<p>EDIT: I am going to do that regardless of my decision.</p>
<p>@zhsh2009
I agree. I think being deferred is the worst of the three. It’s as if the school is taking you for granted, putting you on hold; it’s like giving a person a slow and painful death.</p>
<p>@laodicean, or the school is giving you a second chance.</p>
<p>Anybody know how many people get in RD if they were deferred?</p>
<p>@free2rhyme, 11% for sure</p>
<p>11% out of the Deferred ED Pool, right? So my next question is: how many people get deferred?</p>
<p>i am such a mess right now, every day i find something new that was wrong with my app and it just goes downhill…i have national qualifiers number 2 on friday and saturday so i cant really mourn right away…but i will cry …a lot…and @free2rhyme, it just seems like you are more disparaging,but aren’t we all… idk though…</p>
<p>@free2rhyme
Yeah, I guess, but it feels like holding onto a dead relationship. It just drags out the pain since most defers don’t end up get in.</p>
<p>@free2rhyme. i would rather want it and not get accepted than feel ambivalent about it! just saying. i don’t know why you are adamant about preparing me for rejection…?</p>
<p>@kristinabrown1, yeah, i think it might be because I have been having a bad day today too. But I am usually a sarcastic guy, but not really disparaging.</p>
<p>Do you actually look back at your app? Or do you just remember stuff you did wrong? Because I don’t look back, and I think that makes you less paranoid about your mistakes.</p>
<p>Yeah, I had a Model UN conference on saturday, but chose to not go.</p>
<p>I think the deferral rate is very similar to the acceptance rate. Taking that into consideration only about 50% of people applying ED will be rejected for the first decision</p>
<p>@acceptmealready, I am sorry. I wasn’t trying to be adamant about preparing you for rejection. If you can seriously brush off a rejection/deferral after wanting Penn for a month, then that’s great! Usually for most people, if they want it really bad, and they find something not pleasant in the end, it stings and hurts even more. </p>
<p>If you read most of the posts on this thread, many people are preparing themselves for bad news, so they don’t feel more crushed after POSSIBLY getting it.</p>
