<p>For those outside the Penn forum might think this is pointless, but I think it can be very helpful to applicants who were rejected or deferred. As promised, I have made this thread in order to help any ED applicants who are struggling to get over their Penn ED Decision, need to grieve about Penn, worry about RD apps, and simply a great place to converse about what to do now and in the future while having friends to calm you down! </p>

<p>This thread is officially open to all ED applicants...</p>

<p>It took me 10 refreshes for the rejection to really sink in… I couldn’t believe it at first but now I’ve accepted it. Congratulations to all of those who got in, and I wish the best of luck to those who got deferred. In any case, UPenn is a great school and we all did our best</p>

<p>I’m not mad but i’m disappointed that i was rejected not even deferred. I really thought I was in because my essays reflected my future contributions and how I contributed in the precollege program. There is transfer admissions and grad school is still an option. I just cannot comprehend their decision.</p>

13

<p>im dealing with my rejection by signing the ED II agreement for Emory…but i still dont feel any better</p>

14

<p>deferred… its worse than a rejection</p>

15

<p>chin up, it will all work out in the end (yes, I actually mean it)
I’m not going to post my story but I felt pretty ****ty this time two years ago two…now I couldn’t be happier :slight_smile: so wait until april to freak out</p>

16

<p>I just feel jaded because 2 people from my school got in over me, one for athletics and the other for being a black legacy. Ivies are such a goddamn crapshoot.</p>

17

<p>i literally went through a box of tissues and cried for an entire hour. One of the worst days of my life.</p>

<h1>firstworldproblems</h1>

<p>not something to cry over</p>

<p>Being deferred feels worse than being rejected. It’s like being stuck in limbo, unsure of where you’re headed next. Sure, a rejection sucks, but you know that you’re done with Penn. A deferral is like waiting for a final rejection to happen.</p>

<p>Please don’t say being deferred is being worse than being rejected because if you were rejected you would definitely say its worse than being deferred. I got rejected and I would give anything ot have been deferred instead. It just means you weren’t even good enough for consideration. There was something about you they completely didn’t like if you were rejected. Terrible.</p>
