Re: U Penn 2010
Should I write one of their other essays? Pick a work of literature or art? I already sent an additional LOR...

I'm thinking anyone who is risking YP but didn't care enough to write the 5-year essay won't be checking this thread as obsessively as something like, er, me.puppins wrote:

FWIW I did 2 of the supplementals despite being ED. I didn't feel like fucking around with my top choice.

Re: U Penn 2010
GPA is somewhere between 25th and median, LSAT is below 25th - I am a URM. Didn't write a Why Penn, but did 2 of the supplemental essays. I applied RD.PoorOrpheus wrote:Define "bad" in relation to Penn's numbers. Are you a URM by any chance?GobiasIndustries wrote:Complete 10/28, Under CR since 11/2, then it changed to 12/10. My numbers are pretty bad.

Re: U Penn 2010
Only if it's about twilight. But seriously, is Penn really going to require an additional essay and then YP people anyway? How much more do I need to fellate them to avoid YP?puppins wrote:Should I write one of their other essays? Pick a work of literature or art? I already sent an additional LOR...

Re: U Penn 2010
With a 178 and his killer-insane GPA, I think he could afford to lose the 2 or so points I'd need to be even a little competitive at Penn, without losing his Harvard admit. Oh, what the hell, maybe even THREE points!shadowfrost000 wrote:Then he'd lose his Harvard admit.parker09 wrote:I'd be happy to take a few of those pesky YP-inducing LSAT points off your handsmanagamy wrote: No, you don't wish that you were like me regarding this particular school. Penn is famous for YP. Before taking the LSAT, I calculated my probabilities of admission to all of the schools that use the LSAC predictor. When I scored several points higher than I had expected, I calculated again. All of the probabilities went up. Except one. Penn went down.
That said, I don't really understand why they YP when they require at least one extra essay. Surely that scares people who aren't all serious?
I get in, you get less risk of YP... win-win!
...let's keep talking about a.) him, and b.) trading points as if they were actually possible. I'm okay with overt self-delusion.

If you do get WLed a LOCI expressing that sentiment should get you right in. The biggest concern is, if someone gets off the WL, is there any chance at money?puppins wrote:I wrote a why Penn too.

Write an additional essay about how you're going to sue the fuck out of McNabb and Andy Reid for emotional damages.
