Haha.
Your SAFETIES (you're in for sure) look like Northwestern, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, Cornell, UC Berkely, Washington (St. Louis or GWU--doesn't matter either way), and Tufts.

I'd be surprised if you didn't get into Swarthmore, Duke, and Columbia. Brown is looking very promising too. And you would probably get into UPenn even if you weren't EDing.

Yeah, if you don't get into almost every school listed, I'd be surprised - not that I'm an expert or anything! You are applying to quite a variety of schools, but I suppose you won't have to submit the others since you're probably going to get in UPENN. Good luck in the future (not just with college apps).

If you're bored (or not), my post is "Guy with GELLED UP HAIR".

I honestly think you'll get into UPenn ED. You're more than qualified, your guitar/bass playing shows you have more than just school going on, and the fact that you've lived abroad (if you attended school in kuwait or belgium) is very interesting.

All of this coupled with the fact that if admitted to UPenn you would have to go there (which shows a lot of dedication to the school) is a strong indication that you will get in. Honestly, I would not even bother with the other applications since they'd just be a waste once you got your acceptance letter in December.

BTW, my friend got into a very select engineering/business program at Penn with high 700s in SAT IIs, and a 1490 on his SATs....and he got in his junior year of high school. So if they can let a junior in with those stats I can't see how they wouldnt let you in.

Sorry for the plug, but could you evaluate me at "Hopefully my last chances post..." thanks and best of luck.
