<p>When's the SEAS batch coming out?</p>

<p>you applied to seas? i thought you were a wharton applicant..</p>

<p>Nope, SEAS applicant for Biomedical Engineering.</p>

<p>All of last week I kept on thinking "penn decisions come out next week...cool" But I realized that now is 'next week' and they are coming out in a couple of days and although I'm expecting a definite rejection, I'm excited. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>i think you have a chance aub stopper.</p>

<p>so thursday huh.. i wonder what time we'll be able to get it.</p>

<p>california community college...</p>

<p>btw where did this "thursday" come from?</p>

<p>Thursday is May 11...</p>

<p>aubstopper, read the earlier posts.</p>

<p>Apparently a batch of decisions has already been mailed.</p>

<p>Layla, why do you think that? A friend of mine called and the receptionist said decisions will be released on a rolling basis, and that they had already started. But, that is most likely their way to sticking to their word since no one here has found out yet and told people before that the earliest decisions would be out on the 11th. I think it would be weird to be the nice man who answers the phone and each day be told to tell callers something different.</p>
