<p>congratulations to everyone who was accepted!!! I can’t wait to meet all of you guys!!!
And to everyone who got rejected, I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere just as amazing 
To those who were deffered, keep your head (and your grades) up, and i’m sure you’ll make it in the spring :)</p>
<p>p.s. Did anyone make a facebook group yet? cause you know it’s not legit till you join a group lol</p>
<p>Rejected from CAS. I want this to be a mistake … There’s so many rejections and deferrals it feels unreal. I’ll post stats later but at this point I feel like dying because I wanted this so badly.</p>
<p>Wow this thread is so dismal.</p>
<p>The bar was definitely raised with all the rejections/deferrals. The welcome letter says “You and your fellow applicants are the strongest in Penn’s distinguished history”</p>

<p>I just wanted to post and say how sorry I am for all of those who didn’t get in ED. We are waiting for ED results from Lehigh for a child and I have a son at Penn, but we have gone through plenty of rejections along the way. I know that your ultimate schools will work out great even though it hurts now. Hang in there.</p>

This goes to show that you do not need near 2400 or 36 scores to get into Wharton; just remember it is important to emphasize your passions and interests.</p>
