To those who got in: Congrats!
To those who got deferred: Don’t give up hope just yet, and continue to send in additional information =)
To those who got rejected: It is as much a loss for Penn to deny you admission as it is a gain for whichever school you will matriculate in in the end. I’m positive that you will be in the school of your dreams come next September!</p>
