<p>D received one last night. School of Nursing.</p>
<p>I received the email yesterday also.</p>
<p>Wharton applicant here.</p>
<p>Violator, internationals received them too.</p>
<p>Got my email and pennlikely.com link last night; excited but wary.</p>
<p>SEAS</p>
<p>D received a likely as well. Very excited!!</p>
<p>Received a “likely” email last night! I applied to CAS and I’m absolutely thrilled 
Congrats to everyone!!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone! Unfortunately, I didn’t receive a letter (as expected), but does anyone know if historically these all go out at once? Is there a possibility that they may be sent out sporadically?</p>
<p>it was an email, so I assume that they would send them all out at once, as opposed to mailing a physical letter. And don’t worry that you didn’t get one, only 200 kids get them, which I think comes down to less than 10% of admitted students, so the majority of accepted kids never get one.</p>
<p>About 7.6% of accepted RD applicants received a “likely” letter last year. In other words, 92.4% of accepted RD applicants did NOT receive one. :)</p>
<p>Why is it that the people I find on these UPenn forums always so damn nice? This is my favorite forum.</p>
<p>I love you maserrano! <3</p>
<p>No, I love YOU.</p>
<p>I just tend to run into so many snobs on the other forums, like the massive throng of people that told me I had no shot at Boston College, yet got in anyway CC can be a terrible place, but I think that forums like the UPenn one are immensely helpful. I’m not sure if that speaks for the school at all, but I would love to think so.</p>
<p>Thanks again,
Marc-Anthony (no, not the singer)</p>
<p>im new on CC…</p>
<p>could anyone give me their opinion on my chances? </p>
<p>GPA: 3.7 unweighted (straight As and A+s from junior year up, upward trend, strong commonapp essay regarding my lack of maturity as an underclassman and how i turned my gpa around)
school: CAS
major: linguistics </p>
<p>SAT I: 2110 cw: 640 math: 700 writing: 770
SAT II: spanish: 740 lit: 670
APs: World (as a freshman), US, Lit, Lang, micro econ, macro econ, spanish, psych, gov, calc AB
courses: honors and AP since freshman, three languages spanish french and german
hook: I excel in foreign languages, have taken 6 years of spanish, 2 of french, 1 of german, love traveling and foreign cultures, I’m half puerto rican so I have experienced other cultures already, also I am a non-native speaker and do not speak spanish at home so it’s not like the 740 SAT is a given</p>
<p>(will being half puerto rican help?)</p>
<p>recommendations: great</p>
<p>supplement essay was well written in my opinion if anyone wants to read it, it ties in my ECs to my future aspirations</p>
<p>ECs: i dont have a humongous list of leadership roles and volunteer hours, however…</p>
<p>spanish club for 2 years, ran for president, lost, but was asked by the teachers to be “advisor to board” since the girl who won wasn’t really what they had in mind
-jv lax freshman year, doesnt really count, but i had to stop playing sports in general for a long time due to a stress fracture in my spine
-division A rec soccer league this year
-assistant teacher for religious education class of eight graders
-random volunteering for church throughout 4 years</p>
<p>the ec i most stressed on my app was a People to People Student Ambassador program that I prepared for throughout soph year and actually participated in the following summer, consisted of a 3 weak trip to England and France, basically said in my supplement essay that I realized I wanted to work internationally after that trip due to my love of the cultures I experienced. also visiting France is what prompted me to take french, and consequently german as well</p>
<p>thank you very much to anyone who give me feedback. I’ve been obsessing about college stuff lately and all I can do to occupy my time until decisions are out is chill on CC. so yeah</p>
<p>So, are you guys telling people about your likely? :)</p>
<p>I told my three closest friends, but other than that I think I’ll keep a lid on it until decision day.
If I can hold out for that long.</p>
<p>haha, yeah. I told a few teachers and I’m probably going to tell a few of my close friends as long as they haven’t applied to to Penn. We all know how quickly word spreads though, lol</p>
<p>The reason I was wary about the letter in the first place was that I don’t consider myself a super-qualified candidate:
GPA: 3.99 OR 4.0 depending on where you round, haha
QPA: 5.2ish
QPA Rank: 1 out of 375ish
AP Exams: 5s:7, 4s:0, 3s:1 (Spanish Lang). Taking 8 exams in May
ACT: 35
Varsity Tennis (State champs)
Editor-in-Chief of fairly strong Newspaper
Online Writing including NFL.com
Essays: I expect they were basically run-of-the mill. Nothing spectacular
Recommendations: haven’t seen them but probably a good one from my Newspaper Advisor and two average ones from other teachers</p>
<p>I still am not letting it sink in until March 30.</p>
<p>I will tell a couple close friends, but won’t be facebooking it or anything boastful like that.</p>
<p>I would facebook it in a second, are you guys kidding? That’s not boastful at all, it’s sharing your joy with the the people around you.</p>
<p>I told just my three best friends and my family. I have a lot of other friends who applied to Penn RD and others who were deferred ED, and I feel like it would be awkward for me to start celebrating my likely letter in school. I’ll save it for March 30.</p>
<p>But yeah, I expect that people will sorta find out, which is fine. I just don’t want to make a scene.</p>
<p>congrats to all who got likely letters</p>
