<p>I asked you once...you said your a junior...interesting</p>
<p>did I?</p>
<p>my mistake. Nope, I'm a senior. Class of '05. Applying ED to Penn.</p>
<p>I recieved my login info but no green card. Is that cool?</p>
<p>it's almost thanksgiving. where is that darn'd green card??</p>
<p>no I know someone that sent in form IA 5 months ago and got his login and he didn't send anything else yet.</p>
<p>UPenn.... you're lucky I love you. I wouldn't take this kind of treatment from anyone else. I patiently check the mail everyday and everyday I get stuff from colleges that mean nothing to me. But I get nothing from the one that does mean something. Give me my login and green card!</p>
<p>My friend just sent in his 1A and already got a blue card. Pretty weird. Yeah, I want my green card though! But they'll contact us if we missed anything, though, eh?</p>
<p>the green card tells you if you've missed anything or not, I believe.</p>
<p>If I don't get my stuff by Monday I'm going to call them. C'mon Penn... I'm 10 miles away! lol</p>
<p>Good Luck Chocoman. I think Penn's got their work cut out for them this year...I mean, I got two of the same letter (arrived on the same day)...one with a HAND-WRITTEN address to me...which creeped me out quite a bit, to say the least. So, maybe they are experiencing organizational problems? But, on the other hand, I think most/all of our apps should have been read already...<strong>panics</strong></p>
<p>You're right - I bet they got more apps than expected. Being the sole number 4 school helps a lot. Maybe this will push the admissions rate down a lot and Penn will be tied with Yale for number 3 next year because of it. That would be awesome.</p>
<p>And then if we get in to Penn we can all have shirts... "I survived Penn ED '04"</p>
<p>HAHA. Let's not...that would literally dwindle our (my) chances...seeing how I suck already, I don't need anything else to make me suck even more, esp. kids like most of the CC'ers...<em>cringe</em>. </p>
<p>I've been dreaming these few nights though...I only remember the terrible ones that make me want to scream (i.e. when a lady was dumping my Penn app into a shredder). Talk about suffering from stress...</p>
<p>I thought they haven't made any decisions yet!</p>
<p>By that I mean: They might have organized the applications but they haven't decided in students in general yet.</p>
<p>I think most of the committees are starting up after Thanksgiving...but all of the apps should be read already. I remember reading an admissions book and the person wrote that they usu. get done by the first week of Dec. and the rest they spend getting the "fat" envelops done and stuff. So, yeah, our apps should have been read already. Scary ain't it?</p>
<p>Now what does it mean that they have been "read" as opposed to the "committees ... starting up?"</p>
<p>The admissions officers, your admissions officer, has now read your file. Unless you are an auto admit, then, your adcom takes your app into committee. In there, he/she will talk about your app for like two minutes or less, and the committee (the director and one or two other admission officers) vote to have you accepted/deferred/denied. The director (Lee Stetson in Penn's case) gets a copy of you app and he "skims" it...he never reads it. Your admissions officer is the only person that reads your app from top to bottom. And yes, the adcoms should be done with most apps already.</p>
<p>omg i finally got my green card and login info yesterday in the mail and guess wht...there were 2 little red check marks indicating tht they never recieved my high school transcript and college counselour rec!!!! my idiot counselour never sent them!!!!!!!!!!! im so furious i could kill her--those grades are like the foundation of my app, the most important part! and i cant even get in touch with her until monday. grrrrr so do u think they read the rest of my app without the transcript or are they pushing me til the end or wht??? im so upset</p>
<p>chocolatechip, you sure you can't get in touch tommorow? I bet guidance offices might be open considering this a busy time of the year for them.</p>
<p>If I was an adcom Id have like constant headaches. Reading all these terrible essays by needy little teenagers.... lol.</p>
<p>I'd be the Caligula of adcoms, too. I would deny borderline applicants for stupid stuff. "You call that a middle name? DE-NIED!"</p>
<p>Forgot to add the "bad email addresses" category Chocoman..</p>
<p>"how boring does a kid have to be to use their OWN NAME for an email account... yep.. too boring for Penn...DE-NIED"</p>
<p>oh man. "XOXOXOgurlie?? What kind of email is that? It's not even good enough for Penn state! DENIED!"</p>
