<p>oy guys don't be nervous - we'll be FINE!
actually, I was pretty ****ed together because I thought I was the only one who applied to Penn early, but turns out another girl (who's Legacy) applied to Penn ... Wharton nonetheless! Same college, same school!
Argh! </p>
<p>But I'm still calm. At least, trying to be.</p>
<p>i FINALLY got my letter!! feelin kinda special cuz it talks about housing and financial aid and stuff - exciting, no? =)</p>
<p>So are all the pin letters that same? or different?</p>
<p>if theyre one sheet, theyre all the same.</p>
<p>I still didn't get it yet and I'm assuming Wharton411 didn't get it yet...
That's weird. I guess the different regional administrators simply mail them out at different times.</p>
<p>My school seems to be receiving them in alphabetical order.</p>
<p>I don't think it's alphabetical order because my last name begins with C, and I didn't get my letter until this week.</p>
<p>Ugh.
The other kid from my school who is applying to Penn ED just got his November SAT scores, and he improved by over 100 points to a 2260.
I have a 2330, but his rank is 8th and I'm 13th (1.3% difference).</p>
<p>He's applying to Wharton, and I'm applying to the College. I just pray that I still have the upper hand and his big score increase won't really impact my own chances.</p>
<p>He also got a 730 on Math Level 2, so I'm not sure where that puts him for Wharton.</p>
<p>dont compare between schools - its totally different. </p>
<p>my sal is doing wharton ed while im doing cas ed. im not even close to caring about it tho. unless we both get in which would be pretty cool.</p>
<p>You are worried? A ridiculous number of people apply from my school. Don't worry about the competition from your school. You have some 4000+ other kids from around the world to worry about.</p>
<p>i got a letter in the mail asking me about financial aid stuff, didnt have any pin number though. its driving me craaaaaaaaaaazy</p>
<p>Yeah Im kinda perturbed that I havent gotten the PIN letter yet. I have the PIN cause I did the lost PIN thing online. I hope that didnt jinx me.</p>
<p>I need in the words of Addison Montegomery Shepard some "good juju"</p>
<p>MY last name starts with "F" and I received my PIN in the mail last Friday (day after THanksgiving). Yes, it was really special because it talked about housing. I hope the letter isn't a tease.</p>
<p>I want my letter so bad now!</p>
<p>I dont understand the adcom sometimes. Why send out the pins on a rolling basis?</p>
<p>Can someone type up the letter and post it? From the posts, it sounds like a "hidden" likely letter.</p>
<p>Wharton either they dont like either of us or the DFW people are forced to bite their fingernails in waiting.</p>
<p>Is there such a thing as a "Likely Letter" for ED applicants? I hope so!</p>
<p>TDeucez: Hopefully, we will get it tomorrow!</p>
<p>What's DFW?</p>
<p>dallas/fort worth (cities in texas)</p>
<p>exact copy of the letter recieved today.. maybe this will relieve the stress or intensify it...idk..</p>
