<p>I think psychologically, the worst thing about deferral is that even though realistically I didn't have a good chance at Penn ED, and even though I still told people that I didn't think I'd get in, in the back of my head there was a voice saying "don't worry you'll get in, it'll be fine, don't worry."</p>
<p>And then I got deferred, and was obviously disappointed and thought I didn't have a chance. But now that we're about to find out again, and I'm once again telling people that I don't have a chance at Penn, the voice saying "don't worry you'll get in, it'll be fine" has definetely come back.</p>
<p>So basically, even though I have no basis for this, I 100% expect to get in. Setting myself up for disappointment, but.. (don't worry it'll be fine..)</p>
<p>anon, you just described the past 6 months of my life. it's sad really, but i can't help but set myself up. and i'm not a crying kinda girl, but this crap definitely gets to me... whatever...trying not to care too much helps. not really. but i'm just trying to make myself feel better. i need a therapist. this whole college process is just too much. it'll all be over soon. then i can head for cover.</p>
<p>one of my ED friends who got into Penn said he talked to a Penn student who said that Penn would release decisions this week. No chance that's true because of hte common reply date, right?</p>
<p>lol yeah, i HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that... but who knows? I know some schools are posting online BEFORE the actual decision time... but then again, those schools aren't bound by the Ivy League Common Reply Date, or whatever its called lol... so i guess we should wait til March 31 lol</p>
<p>i was deferred ed too... im from pakistan.. had pretty good grades and i also thought i had a shot...
i agree anon311 with that whole voice inside ure head thing.. it happened to me during the whole ED process and its happening now too.. i am sorta pretending to expect rejection on the outside although i am dying to get in.. lol! i wanna go to penn!!
but anyway... good luck to every1 who got deferred.. and to everyone else.. hope u all get in to ure 1st choice places..! lets see... not that many days to go! lol... i really wanna know whether im in or not!!</p>
<p>anon311-- my S is a junior and wants to apply ED to penn. can you give me an idea of your stats? gluck to you, you are living my S nightmare right now</p>
<p>yeah...what's the chance we'll actually get in?
I'm also a deferral vet. Do we have any sort of advantage now that we sent in letters of interest and all that? Do we have an ED advantage?</p>
<p>I was told that they just dump us back in the regular pool, but you never know, if they are concerned about yield (unlikely considering its one of the hottest schools in the country), then they would take an ED deferree over someone with similar stuff.</p>
<p>ive got double legacy and a brother in penn and I didn't get in early decision... good sats and all that good crap... I'm officially joining in the countdown to RD =P</p>
<p>HOWEVER- THIS IS A REMINDER TO ALL THOSE WHO GOT DEFERRED TO CHEER YOU UP-
Isn't it nice that after applying to safeties and all that, schools are giving you scholarships and $ just to attend their school? </p>
<p>And I'd just like to add, if I got in RD, I'm just going to be angry because we've all gone through months of agony and an elongated college decision process (early decision is really a ***** because you pick your first choice so soon) sooooo in short, **** you UPENN I'm awesome</p>
<p>we should just create a cc college....where everybody gets in...well not everybody, just us cc'ers with great stats but can't get in anywhere....</p>
