Just letting the urms know that the application for PEEP is open.
http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/peep
Really wanted my D to apply but the essay, lor, and missing 2 school days was too much for us.
Hope others can take advantage of this opportunity.
Penn emailed my daughter inviting her to apply to PEEP. Do folks think it will look like she is not interested in Penn if she does not apply?
@nw2this and @Ldoponce, is PEEP for Juniors and Seniors? One of them? Also, is it only for under represented students?
@Winky1 I believe PEEP is for Seniors. The invitation states “PEEP focuses on serving students who are involved with our partner community based organizations as well as students from historically underrepresented backgrounds attending school in the United States.”
@Ldoponce , thanks. Do you happen to know what the “partner community based organizations” are?
@Ldoponce no, they don’t monitor who does and does not apply. It would take too much time. The program is mostly invite only so if you were not invited acceptance is probably unlikely-the app can’t even be found through a google search
@Dartmouth_21 who do they invite? I got an email too and I assumed it was just a generic type of thing where they send it to everyone
@ZBlue17 no its for minorities and first gen
@Winky1 neither the email nor the link elaborate on the partner organizations. @ZBlue17 - I believe they invite a couple thousand to apply to PEEP.
Thanks @Ldoponce. Maybe those students who receive help and are involved in programming at social service agencies are what’s considered “involved” with partner agencies. Makes sense to me.
Submitted my application earlier today! They moved up deadline to September 11 it seems, but I just stuck to 9th deadline. Anyone else apply? We can use this thread to post results!
I submitted on the 7th or 8th. Just found out my counselor never got the rec request so we’ll be contacting penn asap lol. Anyone who submits should follow up on that
Do you know when they send out the results? 
Tuesday, Sept. 20! @innerchild33
Aaaaahhhhh, that’s 4 days away…
completely forgot that the decision comes out in 2 days ago! Excited and nervous! For some reason I felt like the decision came out in October! I was worried I miscommunication with my counselor but he was very nice and did indeed submit his portion by 5 on September 13 so I know atleast my app was considered ahh nerve wracking
Hello, this is my first post in college confidential, and I also applied for the peep program. I am so nervous, they are sending out the results tomorrow 
@CristinaYang09 lol your username! I don’t when they are sending results, but I am freaking out. The application was definitely longer and more extensive than a couple others. I got rejected for Rice SOAR(probably because I wrote 100 words by mistake instead of an actual essay), but they didn’t tell me I got rejected until much after the “results deadline.” I hope Penn doesn’t do that to us! I’ll post tomorrow what I get! Ahh
in case anyone is checking this thread: I believe that PEEP decisions will be emailed out shortly after 2 pm PST!
Thank you @blink24 I am sorry about the SOAR program. I really hope you can make it to PEEP. Supposedly, today is the day they tell us if we get in. I hope they have consideration for everyone who applies and send an email. I hate when they leave us hanging on our hopes. And good luck for everyone who applied to the peep program.
