<p>hey guys, I go to a wayyy underrepresented suburban school. We have never sent anyone to Brown, or Yale, or harvard etc in history. We only sent one kid to UPenn last year and that was like the first kid to go to any ivy in like 15-20 yrs lol. This year, im the only person applying to UPenn, or Brown, or Cornell. Does this work in my favor then?</p>
<p>But I'm also Indian :(</p>
<p>applied early to CAS...</p>
<p>ED to Wharton.. applied like 2 weeks or so back..
still no interview call.. :-(
Anyone from India got an interview call yet?</p>
<p>^Well I think the website said they do interviews through november so you still have time</p>
<p>ED Wharton =)</p>
<p>i think the valedictorian is also applying to Penn, but to CAS or SEAS and not ED, so im safe (phew)</p>
<p>cant wait till december</p>
<p>I applied early to CAS.. hope being saluditorian helps a bit.. a lot of people in my school are applying, but not early, which is better I guess</p>
<p>oh man it is not encouraging to read that every freakin kid on this site is applying to Wharton ED. I wish everyone luck, hopefully december 15th we'll all be back here posting how happy we are</p>
<p>laurgirl, I just hope that you spelled salutatorian correctly in your application. :)</p>
<p>haha! I didn't even notice I spelled it that way :-). But luckily for me, I didn't use that word in my app ;-). BUT I may have made a typo or 2 in my essay. I was looking at my common app essay on my computer and found 2 mistakes! I know that I corrected my essays, then my computer froze and didn't save my changes, and I know I printed it before it froze.. but I may not have caught one of the typos :-/</p>
<p>Lol Effrum, I was a potential Whartonite but then I realized maybe business isn't my thing but I do want Penn so CAS all the way :D</p>
<p>CAS for me! I'm not too confident about my app though coz I'm an international asking for loads of financial aid...</p>
<p>Penn CAS as well. I hope the best for all of us on December 15th.</p>
<p>penn cas for me too...man it was such a rush of relief to have my common app status to change to a green "submitted" status.</p>
<p>Fisher ED / Wharton ED</p>
<p>just had my interview, too.</p>
<p>that's pretty cool... the committee in my area is inactive... :(</p>
<p>ED Huntsman (Chinese) and Wharton for single degree program</p>
<p>by the way, i havent heard from penn, but i sent my app like around 1 week ago. Generally, how long does it take penn to acknowledge the receipt of application??</p>
<p>^wait another week</p>
<p>another week??? then how long does it take to arrange an interview? wouldnt it be too late if i have to wait for another week</p>
<p>Survey says....Wharton ED</p>
<p>cherryl: It usually takes two weeks for them acknowledge w/ the card that they mail you. I have no idea if they use e-mail notification though, since I did not apply online. They do interviews until December so don't worry, especially since interviews don't matter too much and are random.</p>
