Wannable Winos Whine: Preceptorial Had Two Percent Acceptance Rate

Getting into Penn's wine-tasting preceptorial is much harder than getting into Penn itself, or, what's more, any of the Ivies: we just got an e-mail that we were waitlisted :( The e-mail reads:
You have been currently placed on the waitlist of the Wine Preceptorial. Some 870 students applied for 20 spots. But, there is still a fairly good chance you may be able to get in.Um, we don't know what class you took to fulfill your quantitative data analysis requirement, but a waitlist of 850 does not add up to a "fairly good chance." Your chances of getting into the wine-tasting preceptorial are roughly the same as your chances of getting hired at Google any time soon. However, if you're still dying to wax pretentious about wine, Philo offers a six-week wine-tasting course of its own for $140; details are here.
