Official Penn Transfer Thread Fall 2008

<p><em>looks at this post tomorrow</em></p>

<p><em>types in a quick defensive post—then thinks of the better option and leaves without hitting submit</em></p>

<p>Hi guys, I have a question (I am applying next year)…
Who reads the applications for transfer students? Is it the regional representative from your hometown state or the regional representative of where your current college is located?</p>

<p>Transfer admissions aren’t done by region.</p>

<p>I emailed the admissions officer listed as serving my region on the Penn website, and she wrote me back saying that, though she would pass my message along, transfer admissions aren’t assigned regional admissions officers.</p>

<p>4 More Days!!!</p>

<p>4 days til? til we find out? is this official??</p>

<p>they did say the first batch comes out on the 16th, 5pm</p>

<p>seriously?? mail? email?</p>

<p>I think someone called to ask.</p>

<p>yea…it was verified by phone call…</p>

<p>4 days and still no PIN/password/login. WooHoo!</p>

<p>Theory: anyone without a PIN isn’t getting a decision this Friday.</p>

<p>Not that that’s what I want by any means, seeing as how I’m one of the ones without a PIN, but I’m thinking that’s most likely the case. Doesn’t mean we’re rejected, just means we weren’t automatic accepts or rejects.</p>

<p>i seriously, seriously, seriously hope that’s not true.</p>

<p>Update: I just called and they said that all of the PINs were in the mail, in route to our mailboxes :slight_smile: So everyone should receive it before decisions are released on Friday.</p>

<p>The woman I spoke with also confirmed that batch one is released Friday after 5. Batch 2 is the next Friday, and so forth.</p>

<p>speakout93086 thanks for the info!! =)</p>

<p>how many of us do you think will know on friday?</p>

<p>i feel like it’s D-day.</p>

<p>I’m kinda ****ed that they’ve refused to answer a simple question from me for the past month (did they get my re-sent credentials?). I’m hopeful for getting in but very afraid I wont get an aid package that works for me.</p>

<p>I got an obnoxious ebonics-wielding Kant (I’m making a play on words here, not referring to the philosopher) when I called once.</p>

<p>lol at the Kant joke. i don’t know how many of those i made when i was in philosophy</p>

<p>hey there thought i’d finally make an entrance, lol.</p>

<p>looks like all PINs have been entered into the system. If you haven’t received yours in the mail, you can get it here by entering your email:</p>

<p><a href=“https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/decisions/pw.php[/url]”>https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/decisions/pw.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It gets sent immediately to your email. Once I logged in, it just said no decision made, which I guess means they haven’t uploaded my decision yet. </p>

<p>I’m curious if there any lucky early acceptances..</p>

<p>ughhh friday is d-day for sure.</p>
