I submitted my Penn app (for ED) a week ago exactly. Since then I received an email indicating that I would likely hear from an alumni soon, but nothing since. About how long after getting my application would they arrange for an interview?
It depends. Some students got interviewed last year just a few days before the decisions came out.
interviews dont really matter anyway
I got an interview request on the 2nd. It all depends on where you are geographically and what alumni are around you because it’s up to them to look at the list and choose. I happened to have a really enthusiastic woman just down the street.
Right. It’s decentralized – student data is sent out to regional groups who assign interviews. Sit back and wait. Penn is among the better schools with interviewing.
