If they really believed in that lie they would use a lottery system.

We also have a lottery system lol

Your new years resolution should be learn to tell jokes. Wait, you had a new years resolution? Nevermind, carry on.

That's laughable all itself. You should be embarrassed when TLS finds you funny. It's like a bunch of first graders calling you smart.

So to tack on to this, how does a 0L approach the possibility (even if virtually zero) of getting a 1L SA assuming I don't have diversity or connections working for me? Send out a bunch of apps and hope?

Forgive me if this is way to early to even think about this, just curious and I'd like to know if it's something I need to jump on early on in 1L.

Does Penn do pre-select? I thought UVA was the only T14 school that had a system like that.

No we use lottery.

Just FYI, if you're coming from a top school, while a 1L SA is definitely tough to snag, it's far from impossible, especially if you have excellent grades and/or highly marketable skills (and FWIW, good work experience seemed to be a much stronger factor).
