Official Countdown

<p>lol You can't really do anything about it. just don't send it. it'll make you seem like a person who just doesn't really take tests that much. if you send out the two scores from nov, it'll make you look like you have no life AND can't score well (not that you are in reality). </p>

<p>oh, I was thinking of sending in visual artworks, but oh well. i'm just worried about my extra rec letters cuz they are pretty important to decision making and might actually be my hook, if they ever get it.</p>

<p>does anyone know how they did the email/mail responses last year? Did they arrive on the same day or did emails come the day regular mail was sent out (Dec 13 according to the Penn website)?</p>

<p>my arts supplement is actually my favorite part of my entire application package, cuz i know no one else would have something like it. i mean it's not like piano or violin lol.</p>

<p>my extra rec letter too even though i thought it wasn't really that well written. simple at most i would call it. but i still like it. haha. the writer sent it himself and i have no idea whether they received it or not.</p>

<p>My outside recommendation (i.e., not from a teacher at my hs) is listed on my portal as "loose recommendation" under "Other Materials". The name of the recommender is also listed, just like they are for the teacher recs.</p>

<p>computersaavy- where's "other materials"? i only see 2 lists: basic and additional requirements and 2 tabs: my bulletin board and my application info</p>

<p>does anyone know what form the decision is gonna be?? is going to be a e-mail to ur email account or is there going to be a little box on the penn portal that will say "rejected, deffer or accepted?"</p>

<p>I sent in an extra recommendation but I still don't have it shown, or a "loose" section o.o</p>

<p>yeah i had a few and it hasnt shown up on portal but i know its reallyscrewy so im not too worried</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure the transcript from my school does not include 1st marking period grades of senior yr....they'r sent long before those grades came out. unless they call guidance up and ask for it, which means i'm screwed. my BC calc grade will not impress.............................................
i wanna go to penn! omg</p>

<p>haha, penn should just let in everyone who has no life bcuz they waste all their time on
this thread...that would definitely help their yield :]</p>

<p>second that a2npersuas2n. CC is so addictive :(</p>

<p>yeah, i come here more often now, before the decision comes out, hoping that something will happen or change my app, but nothing happens lol.</p>

<p>To yournamehere...</p>

<p>On both tabs of the portal (My Bulletin Board and My Application Info), I have a section listed called "Other Materials". On the My Application Info tab, this section called "Other Materials" includes 1) Penn Optional Essay; 2) Additional Information (2); and 3) Loose Recommendation.</p>

<p>computersaavy, did you have the section Loose Recommendation before any of your "loose recommendation" was actually updated? Was there a time when the quantity for that section is 0? Because I don't have that section and I'm wondering is it because I just don't have the section or because I won't have that section until my extra recs are updated.</p>

<p>i don't have that section at all. and i'm wondering about the same things as soysauce...i'm pretty sure they got my CD cuz that's what my regional director told me...but i'm not sure about the others</p>

<p>soysauce...</p>

<p>The section called "Loose Recommendation" under "Other Materials" was added onto my portal in the past 2-3 weeks. Initially, under "Other Materials", I only had 1) Penn Optional Essay; and 2) Additional Information (2). Under "Loose Recommendation", it includes the name of the person who sent this outside recommendation (just like it lists the names for the teacher recs). I suspect that the "Additional Information" that they have for me (one item received according to the portal, but not otherwise identified) is a transcript from a college course that I've taken.</p>

<p>so u had the "other materials" section the first day u got access to MyPenn?</p>

<p>Yes, I had an "Other Materials" section as soon as I had my portal.</p>

<p>yeah i have "Other Materials" too, and I have Penn Optional Essay and Additional Information. I'm assuming that the Additional info is the resume I attached. Ugh I just don't when everything will be updated to the point where the things I don't see on MyPenn are the ones Penn didn't receive. I live like 30min away from Penn, I just want to go there and hand them my extra rec lol.</p>

<p>i don't have that section.....what in the world?......</p>
