<p>PennHunter, you're pretty hot ;)</p>
<p>u could always pursue modeling ;)</p>
<p>I dont know how to deal this. my parents dont even know what to say to me. I have been a mess of emotions for the last 24 hours.</p>
<p>You'll live. Next year you'll be having the time of your life in college and this whole process (and the Penn ordeal) will be ancient history. Won't even matter. Some people are blessed, and they get into great colleges earlier than the rest of us. But we all get in somewhere eventually; the lucky ones just don't have to wait as long.</p>
<p>I agree with whatever Mallomar says. You will get into another great college. I didn't know they were supposed to give out the RD decisions in Feb. Are you sure it isn't a fluke? Try logging on there again or call Penn.</p>
<p>I think the main thing to do is try to move on. When I didn't get into Yale, I felt bad for a few days...and now I can't even get myself to care. (I got deferred, and I've completely removed Yale from my mind. I didn't think it was possible, but I sucessfully accepted the fact that I won't go to Yale.)</p>
<p>I have moved on to Georgetown I think.. I just have to make it in there. Is their School of nursing and health care studies easier to get into.</p>
<p>Sristi--- I am going to call monday with my GC in the room.</p>
<p>yeah Stanford was my dreamschool and has been since I was 8 and saw it when I lived in California. So of course things didn't work out and I didn't get into Stanford early, but then when I visited Penn and realized how much I fit in there, it instantly became the top of my RD list. I hope things work out for me but I do think that things happen for a reason and everything eventually works out the way they are supposed to.
PennHunter - if after attending a semester at wherever you end up, and you still feel like Penn is right for you, transferring would be the way to go. Things work out for everyone, it's just everyone has a different approach to it.
Good luck. and keep smiling :)</p>
<p>Pennhunter, How did you obtain your log-in name and password to access the nursing decision? Did you receive it in the mail or via email? Did you request it? Thanks.</p>
<p>I was deferred from the ed round. Are you a nursing applicant? I have this little voice in the back of my head saying don’t believe it. I'm getting that because the online security certificate was not in place (therefore the website was not secure, was in the early round) and I never received notice to check my decision like I was told I would. makes me wonder...</p>
<p>Transferring is nearly impossible I got some stats along with my rejection.. They take 150 out of 1800 every year.</p>
<p>btw there were 23500 apps this year stated in the letter</p>
<p>damn pennhunter im really sorry :( you really were a great applicant, and i certainly think you would have fit in great at penn. it kind of depresses me to see a deferred kid rejected RD, as i am also a deferred applicant, but to the engineering school (which saw a 17% increase in RD apps this year :( ).</p>
<p>don't worry pennhunter, you are sure to get into a great school, whether it be georgetown or hopkins :) keep your hopes high and dont ever give up. and if it means that much to you, transfer next year. hopefully ill see ya here, if i get in.</p>
<p>take care man, and gluck! :)</p>
<p>sorry that you didn't make it...best of luck with hopkins and georgetown! both are great schools. do apply transfer to penn next year if you still love it, cuz heck, why not. i'll support you in spirit :) take it easy</p>
<p>where all did everyone apply to</p>
<p>ive got a huge list</p>
<p>Penn
Michigan
Wisconsin
Claremont
UNC-CH
USC
UT-Austin
Northwestern
Wash U St. Louis
BU
GWU</p>
<p>problem is i think im only gonna get into BU and GWU</p>
<p>Pennhunter - just cuz so few get in doesnt mean that you cant get in. work hard, study hard, but most importantly keep Penn in the BACK of your mind - if you go to college with the thought that you're just going to leave/working to leave, you're not gonna have a good time - relax, chill, work, party, have a good time... and after all that if you still want to go to Penn, then try to transfer... just cuz its hard doesnt mean that its impossible</p>
<p>bump
its sad watching my thread drop down the ranks</p>
<p>When I said you were hot, I meant it from the bottom of my heart. :)</p>
<p>I am surprised that you would have heard now. The ivy leagues have a pack that they will release their decisions on the same day on March 29th. I don't know if nursing is different, but if all schools are supposed to notify applicants on the 29th this could be an error. I have never heard of an ivy league school notifying a student they are not in before the date that admissions are out. The ivy league do not even notify applicants if they are accepted before the agreed upon date for all ivy league. That is why recruited athletes only get likely letters.
First, I would call directly to the Admissions office at Penn. The applications for all the schools go through the one admissions office. I would tell them that you received this email and that you wanted to make sure it was accurate because you were under the impression that you were not going to hear until the end of March.
Assuming that it was not an error, I would take the folllowing approach. I would pick the two other choices on your list that you are reallly hoping to get into. For your top choice I would write a letter to the Dean of Admissions or the regional admission officer of that school and tell them that that is your first choice and I would let them know how excited you are about that school and that you hope to be accepted. I would do the same for your second choice but leave out the part that it is your first choice. I would not address that but I would tell them how excited you were about the school and how you hope to be accepted. You should write another letter to both of them in about a week after that and provide them with any updates.</p>
<p>only the contracted schools in the Ivy League have to abide by the March 29th rule. Which means, specialized schools that other ivies don't offer that specific degree in are free to do whatever they want with their admission decisions. For example, Cornell has three schools that have rolling decisions - agriculture + life sciences, hotel, and industrial labor relations. I'm guessing this is a similar case with Penn's nursing.</p>
<p>I did not know that. Thanks</p>
