<p>About once every day I'm struck by feelings of extreme elation or fear as I consider the status of my application.</p>
<p>I just think about the repercussions of getting rejected or accepted - and they are large indeed.</p>
<p>Any one else experiencing similar feelings?</p>
<p>I’m feeling a little bit of both.</p>
<p>I am also worried about this, but I can only hope for the best and hope some of my hooks will get me in. (Like living in Philly, first generation to go to college, etc…) Because my SAT scores certainly are below Penn’s average scores, and I’m unsure of how my essays were.</p>
<p>Buenos suertes a todos. :]</p>
<p>I’m pretty calm. I’m really excited for decisions to come out–I think I’ll even be excited to get a rejection “letter”–just because I hate waiting, ha!.. but overall I’m not too stressed. I think I came to terms with the fact that it’s extremely unlikely that I’ll get in even before I submitted my app, so I feel as though I already know the decision. I’m just trying to get going on my other applications at this point.</p>
<p>Yeah, the status of my application shows that they haven’t received or processed my SAT score yet. I’ve listed the school as a score recipient before my 10/10 score came out. Is it weird that my app have not been completed now?</p>
<p>also wavering between hope and anguish; at first i thought a month and 10 days seemed like such a short time to wait to get a response. now it seems endless…but i’m mostly thinking i really need to get going on other apps / supplements.
amino acid: my mom called the adm office friday because none of my stuff that had been mailed showed up as being received yet (teacher recs, transcript, gc rec). they told her that the adcom is already reviewing applications and that the portal status is not updated to reflect everything they’ve already rec’d and processed. they said that unless you get an e-mail asking you to submit missing material that you can assume it’s in. (and even if material is missing and needs to be faxed in, they won’t hold it against you).</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you! Our house is excited too. (and occasionally nervous).</p>
<p>Yeah I pretty much have a coronary every single day.</p>
<p>jesse10,thank you so much. I was just thinking about calling them. Lucky to get your post=)</p>
<p>I’m honestly not that stressed about it. I know my chances are fairly slim so the only surprise I could get is an acceptance letter. Some parts of my application are above average for Penn and other parts are below average for Penn. I have another 9-10 colleges that I will apply to if I get denied or deferred and I’d be happy going to any of those. I’m just looking forward to accepting somewhere and getting the whole college application process over with. It would be excellent if I got that acceptance letter from Penn but if not I’m not going to jump off a bridge or anything. Although it would be nice not to have to do another dozen supplement essays.</p>
<p>^^exactly my sentiments! you sound the same as me! haha good luck to you :-)</p>
<p>have you guys started to work on applications for other schools? or are you waiting for dec. 11?</p>
<p>already started. i have six or so done, i believe</p>
<p>jesse10, thank you so much! i was so worried because i thought that my sat scores weren’t in but now i know thats it’s okay because they haven’t contacted me.</p>
