****OFFICIAL University of Pennsyvlania CLASS OF 2019 ED Applicants Discussion Thread****

<p>Yeah the Common App for this year opens on 8/1. Anything you worked on for the previous year’s app will be deleted.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how impressive a LOR from a Wharton professor would be? I know this one kid that has it and I’m kind of worried he might beat me out because of it. </p>

<p>UPENN c/o 2019 applicant facebook Page is up! <a href=“UPENN Class of 2020 Applicants Page | Facebook”>https://www.facebook.com/groups/1514243782125566/&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>^^It’s about quality, not content (so long as the person writing it isn’t your relative or something like that haha).</p>

<p>Hi guys. What is a good SAT score to get into upenn. Also is it easy to change into wharton from seas after a year?</p>

<p>^It’s really hard to transfer (especially from SEAS). I would highly recommend applying to Wharton right off the bat if you’re interested. </p>

<p>Hello, i am an international student, i have quite low SAT scores so i feel that i have no chance, but i will stay apply in case a miracle occures!</p>

<p>@Rolay19‌ which school under penn are you applying to?</p>

<p>I am interested in the m&t program but i am sure i won’t be accepted, so i’m applying to the SEAS!</p>

<p>@Rolay19‌ it wouldn’t hurt to apply to both SEAS and M&T at the same time. Even if you’re rejected from m&t, you can still get into SEAS. So don’t rule out M&T completely</p>

<p>@Encord‌ I guess i’ll do this then!
To which school are you applying ?</p>

<p>@Rolay19‌ Wharton lol.
Definitely a try-your-luck kind of thing…but it’s worth a short I guess</p>

<p>@Encord‌ it’s worth the try!!</p>

<p>Does anyone know if we have more chances to receive FA as an international student in ED or RD ?</p>

<p>@Rolay19 The amount of financial aid you receive is the same during ED and RD round. However, UPenn is only need-blind for Canada, USA, and Mexico. If you are from elsewhere and request FA, then your chances of admission may be lower. </p>

<p>@HvePassion‌ My family income is really low so i’m obliged to request FA :frowning: i know it’s a disadvantage, but i can still try!</p>

<p>^ Note that Penn is need-blind for both citizens and permanent residents of the US, Canada, and Mexico. Not that it necessarily applies to you, but I just wanted to clarify that in case it does.</p>

<p>@"45 Percenter"‌ It does unfortunately not apply to me!</p>

<p>Another question, can we apply ED to UPenn and EA to another school ?</p>

<p>Yes, but only if that school has non-restrictive EA. UChicago is a good example!</p>

<p>Another one is Caltech</p>

<p>Thank you, is one of you applying to one of these two ?</p>
