Just don’t say the “U” once you get here 
Applied to CAS as an Economics major! 1980 on my SAT and a 3.1 cumulative GPA so far (not counting the 4.0 I currently have). I’m not feeling too optimistic because of my GPA but I was a D1 student-athlete at my previous college so hopefully they’ll take that into consideration???
Also applied to UMD and GWU
I have a feeling we’ll get an email today at 5:00 EST
@ivybound5 I would expect it too. Last year the email was sent exactly 5 days before decision day and if we are right on Tuesday being decision day…the email should be here today
Has anyone’s materials checklist been removed yet? On last year’s thread it seemed to happen around these days before decisions were released and before the email decision instructions was sent out.
@blackwidow22 Mine is still there.
@owenrider mine too O.o
Hopefully that doesn’t mean we aren’t getting our decisions this Tuesday…
No email yet, so probably not coming out today.
@RestlessSpirit I know. Honestly, rejected by the ivy that has the highest transfer acceptance rate got me really anxious.
@calvinwong same here. However Cornell Engineering and CAS acceptance rates are really low - approx 6%
The others are terribly high
@transferind97 Thanks for the info, I didnt know before. Well, I assume the acceptance rates of CAS at Penn would also in the 6-9% range?

I did the math for transfers, considering only Cornell’s Arts and Sciences department and since there wasn’t a separation of Penn’s colleges I just went with the overall numbers of accepted applicants,
Penn: 9.67% Acceptance
Cornell Arts and Sciences: 7.53%
Penn actually has the highest transfer acceptance rate out of all the ivies, in regards to CAS. And since Penn didn’t provide the numbers for each applied/accepted transfer for Wharton/Nursing/CAS, etc, we can assume that CAS acceptance rates are higher than 9.67% since the other colleges bring down the acceptance rate to 9.67%.
But at the end of the day, private colleges don’t have a “oh so you got accepted to school X, so you should’ve gotten accepted to school Y.” I know a person who got rejected from all privates except for UPenn. It’s a crapshoot.
@Buttmuncher321 Thanks for the stats. I didnt even do such in-depth research beforehands. 9.67% is still pretty low though. :((
Just got the email saying May 3rd at 3 pm!
Just got an email from Penn about the date of the decision being released!
Decisions will be available Tuesday, May 3rd, at 3 PM E.D.T.
At last.
